Allison Moore, Founder/CEO will participate in the the session, titled “Navigating the Patient-Focused Drug Development Roadmap.”
NEW YORK, NEW YORK , UNITED STATES , August 20, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation (HNF) is proud to announce that Founder and CEO Allison Moore will participate as a panelist in the inaugural Critical Path Institute (C-Path) Global Impact Conference, taking place from September 9-11, 2024, at the Washington Marriott at Metro Center. The session, titled: “Navigating the Patient-Focused Drug Development Roadmap,” will be moderated by Dr. Cheryl Coon, Vice President of the Clinical Outcome Assessment (COA) Program at Critical Path Institute, and is scheduled for Monday, September 9 at 11:20 a.m.
Additional panelists include:
– Dr. Lindsey Murray, Executive Director of the Rare Disease Clinical Outcome Assessment (RD-COA) Consortium at Critical Path Institute
– Dr. Naomi Knoble, Associate Director of Rare Disease Measurement Science, DCOA, OND, CDER at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
– Dr. Michelle Campbell, Associate Director for Stakeholder Engagement and Clinical Outcomes in the Office of Neuroscience at the FDA.
C-Path’s mission is to lead collaborations that accelerate drug development, advancing treatments for people in need worldwide. HNF has partnered with C-Path and its CEO, Klaus Romero, M.D., M.S., to better understand the current barriers and opportunities for FDA approval processes for Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT).
This powerful partnership gained international attention at this year’s Global BIO International conference with HNF’s hosted panel, “Revolutionizing Clinical Trials: Patient Registries, Wearable Tech, and Video Capture”, where Dr. Romero was the moderator. Subsequently, he presented to CMT patients, care partners, researchers, and industry at HNF’s CMT Clinical Trial Readiness Summit in San Diego.
CMT is a genetically heterogeneous motor and sensory neuropathy characterized by progressive sensory loss and weakness of the legs, feet, arms and hands causing gait difficulties, frequent falls, balance impairment, and hand weakness.
In February, HNF shared important de-identified patient registry data with C-Path to engage more attention for CMT, including the more rare subtypes. By working together, we hope to eliminate barriers of data sharing, drive more innovation for discoveries and to optimize value in creating new insights and tools that accelerate drug development for CMT.
“Our HNF partnership represents a significant expansion of C-Path’s mission, focusing on critical areas of drug development. These areas highlight how C-Path’s areas of core excellence — data management and standards, biomarkers, modeling and analytics, regulatory science, and clinical outcome assessments — interlink across all stages of drug development, demonstrating the value of C-Path’s public-private partnership model.” – Klaus Romero, M.D., M.S., C-Path CEO
HNF encourages the patient community and industry working on CMT to attend and gain firsthand knowledge and actionable guidance from the panel discussions with regulatory experts at the forefront of rare diseases and drug development.
“This meeting represents a critical milestone in HNF’s step #4 in our “Roadmap to CMT Therapies.” We are right on track and gaining momentum each step of the way.” – Allison Moore, Founder/CEO, HNF

About the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation:
HNF’s mission is to increase awareness and accurate diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) and related inherited neuropathies, support people living with CMT and their families with critical information to improve quality of life, and fund research that will lead to treatments and cures. HNF’s Therapeutic Research in Accelerated Discovery (TRIAD) is a collaborative effort with academia, government, and industry to develop treatments for CMT. As part of TRIAD’s research consortium, the Global Registry for Inherited Neuropathies (GRIN) was established as a patient registry to collect and analyze patient-reported data and clinical scales, including the ONLS, CMT-FOM, CMTPedS, and CMTInfS and the collection and curation of genetic reports. The data has been instrumental in identifying the burden, diagnostic journey, and prevalence of CMT. HNF’s CMT Genie is a patient-initiated genetic testing program to support genetic diagnosis by offering patients virtual genetic counseling with an option to obtain a prescription to seek a genetic diagnosis.
