Rare Disease Innovation and Data Sharing Accelerated by New RDCA-DAP Program

The Rare Disease Cures Accelerator-Data and Analytics Platform initiative (RDCA-DAP®) officially launched its next phase on Tuesday establishing itself as the leading platform to accelerate rare disease treatment innovation. The launch was part of an all-day virtual workshop and annual meeting of rare disease stakeholders, featuring a platform demonstration, industry expert presentations and attendance by over 400 patients, providers, researchers, clinicians, biopharmaceutical companies, regulatory reviewers and scientists.

RDCA-DAP is an FDA-funded initiative that will serve as a centralized and standardized base to host and share de-identified rare diseases data and to support treatment innovation. It was created through a partnership between Critical Path Institute (C-Path), the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD®) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has grown to include many others throughout the rare disease community.

“There is a lot of enthusiasm for seeing this platform become all it can be for patients and drug developers. It is not just about the data. This is a place to generate solutions in a highly collaborative way,” said Jeff Barrett, Ph.D., F.C.P., C-Path Senior Vice President and RDCA-DAP Lead. “We expect RDCA-DAP to be a place to promote candid dialogue, optimize patient selection and trial design, and co-develop the tools to further de-risk decision making for rare disease drug development.”
