Rare Disease Clinical Trial Expertise

Getting Your Novel Therapies to Patients Everywhere

We understand that nothing is standard when developing a therapy for a rare or ultra-rare disease. From regulatory pathway selection to patient recruitment challenges to navigating the volume of data to collect and clean - a rare disease therapy requires an extraordinary amount of coordination. 

Veristat’s scientific-minded experts excel at supporting the development of therapies to treat rare and ultra-rare diseases, accounting for >30% of the work we do. Our trusted expertise comes from more than 850 rare/ultra-rare disease projects, 50% of these in the last 5 years, and from the preparation of  85+ marketing applications for rare disease treatments and cures.

Planning Around Trial Complexities

Rare disease trials present additional unique challenges and opportunities. We help determine if your study qualifies for an expedited regulatory approval pathway – such as Orphan Drug Designation, Fast Track designation, or Priority Review – and we will represent you at US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) meetings.

Veristat ensures that your clinical trial or program design supports your regulatory strategy, disease progression analytical models, or previous adult trials. Our experienced teams are poised to plan and implement these efforts quickly, providing: 

Strategies for Success

Given the challenges of finding, recruiting, and retaining patients for rare disease trials, there are countless considerations to improve clinical program success:


Fortunately, patients with rare diseases and their families are among the most involved and proactive patient populations in the world. They participate in trial design and help recruit other patients as well as build registries. Most of all, they want rare disease therapies that work, and they are encouraging sponsors to take their research to the international level.  At Veristat, we think this is a promising approach.

I am grateful for the dedication, excitement, and clinical trial expertise that the Veristat team has given Alnylam since the start of this program. Veristat accepted our challenge and their collaboration has been critical to the successful clinical trials that led to the U.S. FDA approval of ONPATTRO.
