TORONTO (PRWEB)

Clinical trials in patients with rare forms of epilepsy and MPS disorders present considerable challenges, as patients with these conditions are heterogeneous and many are quite impaired. Further, comorbid sensory and motor deficits are common as are disruptive behaviors. Additionally, these diseases are often regressive, making the assessment of cognition and behavior even more complex.

On Wednesday, November 20, 2019 at 11am EST (4pm GMT/UK), join Dr. Pamela Ventola, Senior Science Director of Pediatrics and Rare Disease at Cogstate in a live webinar where she will describe the critical factors to consider when selecting cognitive and behavioral endpoints for these trials, including perspectives from regulatory agencies.

Dr. Ventola will describe common measures such as developmental assessments (e.g., Bayley-4 and Mullen), the Wechsler Scales, Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-Third Edition. She will differentiate between the measures so attendees will be better positioned to select outcome assessments based on the specific indication and needs of the trial.

Several case examples of current trials will be shared, with a focus on differential outcome measures and rationale for their use.
