“Transforming Clinical Trials for Ultra-Rare Diseases”
At RealiseD, our unwavering mission is to accelerate the development of treatments for rare and ultra-rare conditions by changing the paradigm of clinical trials in ultra-rare diseases.
Our Ambition is to improve the lives of millions of people living with a rare and ultra-rare disease across Europe and beyond by developing cutting-edge operational and methodological tools and resources that can dramatically advance the evaluation of new treatments.

Our Goals
Over 300 million people globally, including 30 million in Europe, live with a rare disease. The vast majority of the 7,000 identified rare diseases are ultra-rare (affecting 1 in 50,000) and have no approved treatments. RealiseD, is on a mission to change that.
We understand the challenges: small patient populations, varied symptoms, difficulties in enrolling participants to clinical trials, lack of standardised methodologies, fragmented regulatory frameworks and an inadequate infrastructure. But through innovative research methods and a collaborative approach, we’re breaking down these barriers.

“Our goal is to implement a collaborative and compRehensive mEthodological Approach to cLinical trIalS in (ultra-)rarE Diseases that optimises and speeds up the development of treatments for rare and ultra-rare conditions to improve the lives of millions”.
