The Regulatory Scientific Committee (RSC) has been established in year 2022 to address the regulatory gaps created by the fast moving pace of rare disease innovation and therapeutic development. The RSC includes experts from around the world, representing multiple geographies and stakeholders from regulatory bodies, patient groups, biotech and pharmaceutical industry, public and non-for-profit organizations, clinicians and scientists.
The mandate of the RSC will be divided into three key actions:
- Contribution to IRDiRC Task Forces and Working Groups to better address regulatory questions and increase the impact of IRDiRC activities
- Multi-stakeholder interaction to identify pathways for regulatory harmonization and foster clinical research and therapeutic development
- Identify new regulatory questions
