Workshop: Advancing Novel Surrogate Endpoints for Rare Disease Drug Development

The Triangle Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science & Innovation (Triangle CERSI) invites you to join FDA, researchers, clinicians, and innovators for a free, one-day virtual workshop open to the public focused on emerging scientific and regulatory pathways for advancing surrogate endpoints in rare disease drug development.

This workshop is being convened in support of the Rare Disease Endpoint Advancement (RDEA) Pilot Program, established under the FDA User Fee Reauthorization Act of 2022 and the Food and Drug Omnibus Reform Act of 2022. The RDEA program is intended to support the development of efficacy endpoints for rare disease treatments by fostering dialogue among FDA, researchers, clinicians, industry, patient communities, and other stakeholders.

Triangle CERSI is partnering with the UNC School of Medicine to offer ACCME-based continuing medical education credit.

From Prediction to Practice: What It Takes to Make an AI Model Matter in Clinical Care

Artificial intelligence (AI) models have shown promise in improving prediction and decision-making in healthcare, yet translating these tools into routine clinical practice remains challenging. This talk will share lessons learned from implementing AI-enabled interventions across real-world clinical workflows. Key barriers, including data integration with EHRs, clinician trust and adoption, and patient engagement, will be discussed alongside practical strategies to address them. The session will offer a real-world perspective on moving from model development to clinical impact.

Speaker:
Juliessa Pavon, PhD
Associate Professor of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics
Associate Professor of Medicine
Senior Fellow in the Center of the Study of Aging and Human Development
Duke University School of Medicine

This event is being cross-promoted by the NC BERD Consortium, a collaboration of the CTSA-funded BERD cores at UNC-Chapel Hill, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and Duke University School of Medicine.
