A new JAMA study raises questions about what full FDA approval really means for nononcology drugs. More than 50% of these drugs, which transitioned from accelerated to regular approval, did so using surrogate endpoints—not direct measures benefits.

@MAF_Dawson @ASH_hematology @TheDawsonLab @PeterMacRes @GenCancerCentre So well deserved. Warmest congrats!🥳

[GETA @geneticepilepsy]

Despite rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders such as genetic epilepsies / DEEs being well suited to n of 1 trials there have only been a handful performed. N of 1 trials allow assessment of promising treatments in rare monogenetic epilepsies. #GETA2025

[GETA @geneticepilepsy]

Don't miss out on the latest clinical research and cutting edge science in #GeneticEpilepsy and #DEEs at our upcoming conference #GETA2025, May 3rd 9:00am (UTC+10). You can join via livestream globally. Register via: https://t.co/48tp2st0El

[GETA @geneticepilepsy]

Understanding the natural history of rare disorders such as developmental epileptic encephalopathies is key to developing treatments, clinical trials, registration and reimbursement. The DEER natural history study is now open for recruitment globally via the QR code. #GETA2025

[GETA @geneticepilepsy]

Finding the underlying cause in genetic epilepsies is important, but only the start of working towards an understanding and treatment. @ingridscheffer #GETA2025

@Prof_IanD Having seen what a stellar clinician you are Ian, I don’t agree with your interpretation. I proactively make this comment to say ‘ it is not clearcut (or I would have said what is the best option), but weighing up YOUR situation, I would make this choice for me/my loved one’

@Rajamass @a_mctague @hcmefford @RenzoGuerrini @sameermzuberi Yes they must have epileptiform activity at some time but may not be present at time of initial diagnosis

AI cannot replace the clinician patient interface ! We were convinced by an excellent argument from @AMahajanMD @movedisorder
