Biomarker Data Repository
C-Path is developing a repository for data on novel translational safety biomarkers from drug development programs, with the goal of accelerating qualification of novel biomarkers as new tools for drug developers. This initial pilot focuses on kidney safety biomarkers.
Critical Path For Alzheimer's Disease
The Critical Path For Alzheimer’s Disease (CPAD) is a public-private partnership aimed at creating new tools and methods that can be applied to increase the efficiency of the development process of new treatments for Alzheimer disease (AD) and related neurodegenerative disorders with impaired cognition and function.
Critical Path for Parkinson's
Created in partnership with Parkinson’s UK, one of the world’s largest charity funders of Parkinson’s research, the Critical Path for Parkinson’s Consortium (CPP) was launched on October 14, 2015.
Critical Path to TB Drug Regimens
The CPTR initiative is dedicated to delivering a safer, more efficacious, and faster-acting tuberculosis (TB) regimen by developing and promoting innovative regulatory science essential for supporting new combination drug development in collaboration with its partners across industry, academia, and government.
Duchenne Regulatory Science Consortium
D-RSC supports collaborative research through shared data access and development of drug development tools.
Data Collaboration Center
Developing data solutions for scientific research.
Electronic Patient-Reported Outcome Consortium
The Electronic Patient-Reported Outcome (ePRO) Consortium provides scientific leadership and best practice recommendations surrounding electronic data capture technologies and services that support the collection of patient-focused outcomes data in clinical trials.
Huntington’s Disease Regulatory Science Consortium
Created in partnership with CHDI Foundation and the Critical Path Institute, HD-RSC was launched on March 28, 2018, with the aim of accelerating the regulatory approval of Huntington’s disease therapies.
International Neonatal Consortium
Launched on May 19, 2015, INC is C-Path’s ninth consortium – a global collaboration formed to forge a predictable regulatory path for evaluating the safety and effectiveness of therapies for neonates.
Multiple Sclerosis Outcome Assessments Consortium
Launched in December, 2012, MSOAC is another dynamic partnership formed to promote consensus science. Created jointly with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, MSOAC will collect, standardize, and analyze data about MS with the goal of qualifying a new measure of disability as a primary or secondary endpoint for future trials of MS therapies.
Polycystic Kidney Disease Outcomes Consortium
C-Path's Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Outcomes Consortium is a collaborative partnership whose research leads to discovery of treatments for PKD.
Patient-Reported Outcome Consortium
The Patient-Reported Outcome Consortium supports patient-focused drug development by obtaining qualification of clinical outcome assessment tools that measure how patients feel and function in their everyday lives as a result of treatment.
Predictive Safety Testing Consortium
C-Path's Predictive Safety Testing Consortium (PSTC) serves as a neutral third party in the independent assessment and validation of drug safety tests.
Type 1 Diabetes Consortium
The T1D Consortium is working to qualify islet autoimmunity antibodies as prognostic biomarkers to be used in the development of therapies for the treatment, and ultimately the prevention, of type 1 diabetes.
TB-Platform for Aggregation of Clinical TB Studies
The TB-PACTS data platform is designed to catalyze and accelerate TB research by curating and standardizing Phase III tuberculosis (TB) clinical trial data and making this data publicly available to qualified researchers.
Transplant Therapeutics Consortium
Co-founded by the American Society of Transplantation (AST) and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons (ASTS), the Transplant Therapeutics Consortium (TTC) is a collaboration between the transplant community, industry, and regulatory agencies, and is managed and supported by Critical Path Institute (C-Path).
