We are entering into a new Memorandum of Understanding with the National Organization for Rare Disorders to conduct outreach with our new Patient Affairs Staff on ways to enhance the incorporation of patient experience into regulatory discussions. As part of this process, we’re planning a joint series of pilot listening sessions on rare diseases. We recognize that early and iterative engagement can improve clinical and regulatory understanding of diseases and conditions; provide a common understanding of the most urgent patient needs; and inform drug development programs.

Of note, I also recently communicated our desire to expand upon these efforts to help foster investment and innovation in, and medical product development for, rare diseases by developing clinical trial networks to create an understanding of the natural history (such as individual patient experiences and progression of symptoms) and clinical outcomes of rare diseases. FDA’s 2019 budget includes a request for resources to make additional investments in rare disease natural history models. It’s clear more work can be done to advance these efforts.

Is he setting up for the RETT trial ....very nice if true.
