New medicines are made possible by participation in clinical trials and patient recruitment is often the rate limiting step in bringing new therapies to market. Research has shown that patients are likely to participate when they are aware of clinical trial opportunities and are empowered with knowledge to optimize their engagement experiences. In rare diseases, these problems are further amplified. In this session, learn how Medidata is improving access to and optimizing experiences in clinical trials through myMedidata.

In this webinar, you will learn:

1. Introducing registries as a tool for rare disease patients
2. Using registries to help rare disease patients become empowered, educated, and engaged regarding clinical trial opportunities
