Drug development for rare disease is challenging. The “one size fits all” approach to drug development is not sufficient.
In 2018, the world saw one of the first examples of the power of personalized medicine to save those with complex genetic diseases for which there are no treatments.
Cure Rare Disease has formed a collaboration with the leading researchers to develop a customized therapeutics platform, in time to save our loved ones.
The approach that Cure Rare Disease is pursuing is unprecedented. By aligning researchers around a clear goal with foundation support and oversight promotes accountability, takes advantage of group wisdom to enable rapid development without traditional drawbacks.
Collaboration among our researchers enables faster innovation.
Our collaboration brings together researchers and clinicians who are luminaries and pioneers.

The Strategy to End Duchenne
Our strategy is to create a common foundation from which our collaborators can take multiple therapeutic “shots on goal”.
The process is 4-fold and begins with establishing a cell line unique to the individual. With this, we can better analyze the genetic mutations and, downstream, test therapeutic candidates for efficacy against the individual’s cells.
The analytical phase guides the subsequent stages of therapeutic development. Our team will use computational prediction to guide which of the therapeutic “tools” will be most effective at restoring functional protein levels based on the individual’s genetics.
Of the therapeutic candidates, the lead candidate will be developed and optimized. Once complete, we will move into a single (or small scale) clinical trial.
Our goal is to be in clinical trial in 1-2 years.
In parallel, we will begin to generalize the process by creating cohorts of different mutation groups and include other individuals.
The vision of Cure Rare Disease is to show that this model can work and then drive towards pay or approval so that all families can benefit.
