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 for Sickle Cell Disease
CP-SCD aims to accelerate drug development for sickle cell disease through collaborative development and regulatory endorsement of new medical product development tools. CP-SCD will work with the sickle cell community to identify and prioritize tools needed to optimize drug development, such as outcome assessments and disease progression models.
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.
Critical Path to Therapeutics for the Ataxias
CPTA is a public-private partnership with the mission
to optimize clinical trials for inherited ataxias.
CURE Drug Repurposing Collaboratory
CDRC is designed to capture real-world clinical outcome data to advance drug repurposing and inform future clinical trials for diseases of high unmet medical need.
Data Collaboration Center
Developing data solutions for scientific research.
Duchenne Regulatory Science Consortium
D-RSC supports collaborative research through shared data access and development of drug development tools.
Electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment Consortium
The Electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment (eCOA) 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.
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.
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.
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.
PredicTox Knowledge Environment
The aim of the PredicTox Knowledge Environment (KE) project is to advance the science of adverse event prediction by creating an integrated web-based knowledge environment consisting of multiple interconnected databases that capture quantitative multiscale biology of drug action.
Quantitative Medicine Program
C-Path’s Quantitative Medicine program aims to improve population and individual health by transforming drug development through methodological innovation.
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.
Translational Therapeutics Accelerator
The Critical Path Institute’s (C-Path) Translational Therapeutics Accelerator (TRxA) is a global drug discovery and development program focused on supporting academic scientists in defining optimal strategies for advancing new, cutting-edge therapeutics from the lab to patients.
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).
Trial Outcome Markers Initiative in T1D
TOMI-T1D’s mission is to accelerate drug development in T1D with the goal of slowing or preventing disease progression. By aggregating patient-level data from previously conducted clinical trials, TOMI-T1D will develop and seek the regulatory endorsement of a clinical trial simulation tool capable of de-risking decision making and optimizing the design of clinical trials.
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.
Creating and testing Alzheimer’s disease tools to facilitate drug development
Collaborating to develop instruments that measure the patient’s perspective
Developing and qualifying PRO instruments with the FDA for use in clinical trials
Qualifying biomarkers to identify patients for type 1 diabetes prevention clinical trials
Supporting collaborative research through shared data access and development of drug development tools
Friedreich’s Ataxia Integrated Clinical Database (FA-ICD)
Bringing together experts with a range of skills to explore how patients view their therapy
Accelerating approval of Huntington’s therapeutics
Working with the FDA and medical product firms to assess patient outcomes
Collaborating to develop tools to accelerate drug development in transplantation
Developing standards for assessing outcomes in clinical trials of MS therapies
