LifeArc is the new name for MRC Technology, a medical research charity with a 25 year legacy of helping scientists and organisations turn their research into treatments and diagnostics for patients.

The new name reflects the charity’s purpose: to be the arc or bridge between research and improving patients’ lives.

LifeArc is pioneering new ways to turn great science into greater patient impact. It brings together a network of partners to tackle specific diseases and directly funds academic and early stage research.

So far, LifeArc’s work has helped to develop four drugs (Keytruda®, Actemra®, Tysabri® and Entyvio®) and a test for antimicrobial resistance.

Track 1: Rare Disease and its Cause

Rare diseases are a multiple heterogeneous group of diseases with a little in like manner aside from of their irregularity affecting with influencing the individuals. 80% of rare diseases have distinguished hereditary inceptions and others may have some ecological variables, there are wide and several which are yet to be examined. Some rare diseases are acquired while some influenced individuals go about as Diseases examined. Despite irregularity, they represent an important medical and health problem because of their occurrence. For multiple rare diseases have no treatment, but if it exists and if started on time as accessibly available to patients, there is a good prognosis for them to be able for normal life. The issues of patients reflected and influenced by rare diseases are identified with the absence of diagnosis and timely undergoing as well as their treatment or counteractive action.

Track 2: Pediatric Rare Diseases

Rare Diseases associated with Pediatric Condition is an inherited, genetic condition. Patients have recurring fevers, which occurs almost daily with the disease development in Pediatric children. They also present with delayed development, skin rashes and unique and rare conditions in facial features such as thicker lips, swollen eyelids and eye balls. Children will develop swelling around the eye sockets, and also clubbing of fingers and toes and gradual enlargement of the liver and also growth of multiple cells. Over time there is a loss of muscle control and some wasting of brain tissue. The specific condition in which the heart muscles become diseased and the heart becomes enlarged and weak. Babies with the infantile form usually leading to death before their first birthday due to the rare condition in heart failure and respiratory weakness.

Track 4: Rare Diseases in Oncology

Rare Oncology disease has a mandate to accost the recent challenges presented by rare cancers and diseases as well cancers that may be predominant in medically unreasonable populations. CCR investigators, both at the laboratory bench and in the clinic, are actively involved in this research studies.  In many cases, the knowledge CCR’s investigators gain from studying and treating rare cancer diseases and related disorders provides them with insights into the mechanisms that underlie other more common malignant syndromes.  It is very worthy consideration for oncologists to keep updated of the latest advancements in oncology, as changes in management of cancer are shown quite common. All eligible patients in whom cancer progresses and for whom no general of care treatment strategies are available should be enrolled in a clinical trial.

Track 7: Genetic Diseases and Disorders

Genetic disorders may occur due to hereditary, passed down from the parents' genes. In other genetic disorders, defects may be caused by new mutations or changes to the DNA structure. In such cases, the defect will only be passed down if it occurs in the genetic line. The twin disease, such as some forms of cancer, may be caused by an inherited genetic condition in some people, by new mutations changes in other people, and mainly by environmental causes in other people. A genetic disorder is a genetic problem caused by one or more rare abnormalities in the genome, especially a condition that is present from birth conditions (congenital). Most genetic disorders are often rare and affect one person in every several thousands or millions. A single-genedisorder is involving a single mutated genetic condition. Over 4000 human diseases are caused by single-gene faults. Single-gene disorders or syndromes can be passed on to subsequent generations in several ways. Genomic imprinting develops anduniparental disomic, however that may affect inheritance patterns. The rare divisions between recessive and dominant types are not quite even "hard and fast", although the divisions between autosomal associated with X-linked types are involving since the latter types are distinguished purely based on the chromosomal location of the gene.

Track 9: Rare Pulmonary Diseases

The condition of rare lung disorders varies widely by disease type. Uncommon lung diseases affect at least 1 in every 200 persons. The lungs may also be getting involved as a rare manifestation of another more common disorder, namely Marfan syndrome. Some lung diseases are occurs in rare that they only have been described in case reports. The causes with pathophysiology of these diseases are varied in number and complex. Many have a genetic basis, and most diseases have genetic influence. The diseases and microorganisms may play a significant role, especially in those diseases in which the patient’s immune defense has been developed.

The Rare conditions in lung infections influence no less than 1 in each 200 people affecting with pulmonary rare diseases. The functioning of uncommon lung disorders fluctuating broadly by sickness sort. The lungs may likewise be included as a rare lung manifestation of another more basic disease condition. Some lung ailments are rare to the point that they just have been discussed in the event that reports. The causes and pathophysiology of these infections are different and complex. Numerous conditions have a hereditary basis, and most infections have genetic impact. The environment and micro bacterial diseases involving with the lungs may play a role, particularly in with those illnesses in which the patient's resistant barrier has been compromised.

Track 10: Haematological Diseases

There are many conditions affecting the human hematological system — the biological system that includes plasma, platelets, leukocytes, and erythrocytes, which the major component portions of blood and the bone marrow.  It also implies structural abnormalities in the globin proteins in rare hematlogical analysis. It also usually occurs in underproduction of normal globin proteins, often leads through mutations in regulatory genes. The two conditions may overlap, however, since some conditions which further causes of rare abnormalities in globin haematological proteins (hemoglobinopathy) also influence the production (thalassemia).Hemoglobin variants are a part of the normal embryonic and fetal development, but may also be pathologic mutant forms of hemoglobin, caused by variations in genetics diseases in rare conditions. Other variants cause no detectable pathology, and are thus considered non-pathological variants. In patients predisposed for rapid clearance of red blood cells, this may lead to early destroy of cells infected with the parasite and increasing the chance of survivasl for the carrier of the trait.

Track 11: Nursing and Rare Disease

Rare diseases are often considered as difficult because of the rare conditions occurs. It’s impossible to prepare for every possible diagnosis, so many nurses further more learning about more common ailments in school and are expected to learn about rare diseases on the job. At times the patient might be the best source of information for the rare conditions to diagnose. Nurses already know that listening to the patient is an invaluable tool to the patients, but in the case of rare disease would be one of the only options available at the onset of care. Rare disease management helping out further for some nurses, however. There have been instances when a rare disease becomes more frequently examined and diagnosed, but nurses are in a unique wide position to advance the knowledge and awareness about rare disease due to their exposure and involvement in medicine.

Track 12: Therapies for rare diseases

Critical insights in the advancement of gene and cell therapeutic disorders have opened up the likelihood of durably treating and potentially curing a number of uncommon rare genetic diseases. The present therapeutic methodologies include gene and cell therapy: In gene therapy, a conveyance vehicle (as an engineered virus) will convey a right form of the gene of interest or will mute the diseased gene in a patient’s cells. In cell therapy, an engineered cell line is utilized to present appropriately genetic conditions in order to reflect the intended therapeutic impact. There are targeted therapies developed to treat cancer at the malignant cellular level by affecting the biologic pathways particular to cancerous cells. It was the consequence of many years of research seeking to implement the biological mechanisms of the disease.

Track 13: Potency of Orphan drugs

Orphan drugs are considered to be medicinal products intended for the diagnosis, prevention or the treatment of rare diseases. Approval of all drugs in rare diseases conditions must be based on effectivenessof substantial evidence of effectiveness in treating or preventing the condition with the evidence of safety for the treatment use. Over the last decade of 30 years, more than 400 medicines representing 447 separate medicinal indications have been approved to treat conditions and diseases symptoms rare diseases, compared to lesser than 10 in the 1970s.

Track 14: Strategies for Diagnosis &Treatment

Diagnosis and the treatment of a rare disease become complicated because of the fact that many health care providers may have restricted involvement with the identification of the particular disease condition with the diagnosis of rare diseases. Additionally, analysis before manifestation onset or diagnosis early stage in the disease can be challenging. Biopharmaceutical specialists in the field have utilized new advances and the developing exploratory comprehension of multiple rare diseases to develop and diagnose ground breaking therapies over the last 10 years. In the last decade, more than 230 new orphan medical drugs were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In 2015 alone, about half (47%) of novel latest drug approvals were for rare diseases. Disease specific therapies need to be developed for productive results in treatment of Rare Diseases.

Track 15: Legal issues related to rare diseases

The absence of lawful controls on treating the uncommon rare diseases in numerous nations in the world, because of patients and their families are getting affected with various diseases obstructions when requesting for professional help. The first country to pass and approve the Orphan Drug Act in USA, followed by Japan in 1993, and eventually the European Union in 2000. The absence of a special International Disease Classification about disease leading to the IDC blocks the usage of a framework for the patients who are experiencing these diseases in the world. The main motto is to focus on rare diseases from the aspect of acceptable strategies or unsatisfactory social results is of critical need.

Track 16: Current research on rare diseases

Resources needed to be conduct research experiments like databases, biological approach research centres, registries, diagnostic testing and associated with national and international epidemiological and pharma related field systems need to be improved at faster rate and should be emphasised. There are now involving 4,770 progressing research projects, barring clinical trials, covering numerous diseases and research on this area requires a multidisciplinary approach in order to discover creative therapies for the early diagnosis and treatment methods.  Not very many studies have been tending to the requirements of the pediatric population with rare diseases independently organizing from that of grown-ups. However, since about 50 to 75% of the rare diseases begin in childhood, these pediatric disorders deserve special priority.

Importance & scope:

Rare diseases are rare and often debilitating or even life-threatening diseases or conditions with a prevalence of 0.65%-1%, the cause of rare diseases is mostly genetic in nature and sometimes it may be as a result of infections or degenerative causes.

 80% of rare diseases have identified genetic origins, 50% of rare diseases affect children, and 30% of patients with rare diseases die before the age of 5. A rare disease is defined as one that affects less than 5 in 10,000 of the general population in European Union and fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Worldwide it is estimated that 350 million people suffer from rare diseases. The above data urges a need for enhanced efforts in the fields of fundamental, translational, epidemiological, health services research and the current focus of Research studies is on Orphan drugs for safe and effective treatment. This 2nd World Congress Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs would help researchers, academicians and young research fellows from across the globe to address the problem and unlock the understanding on rare diseases and its emerging technologies.

Why London?

Rare diseases are a complex group of heterogeneous maladies and are known for their irregularity. Just around 25% of uncommon diseases identified have their molecular basis characterized. There a numerous difficulties extending from illness acknowledgment to conclusion and advancement of new medications .UK has one of the biggest bio groups which work in association in this area of research,. London, the capital city of England is situated on River Thames nearby the island of Great Britain and is a popular tourist destination. London is a leading global city in areas of arts, commerce, education, entertainment, finance, healthcare, research facilities, tourist destination, and best transportation. London denote a one of a kind spot in rare diseases scientific research which includes top universities, research centres etc., these centres will provide research specialists the support and facilities they need to produce results. It also includes infrastructure that supports the research, and aims to consolidate its role as one of the world's driving places for the treatment of children with rare diseases. London and the neighbouring states are continuously endeavouring to create awareness and improve the health of individuals suffering from rare diseases. The EU has started a consortium in 2011 named “The International Rare Diseases Research Consortium” with an objective to develop new therapies and find novel methods to diagnose the disease. The UK has one of the strongest and most productive life sciences sectors in the world and London is a location of choice for pioneering, collaborative research of this nature. 2nd World Congress on Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs to be held at London would benefit participants from all around the globe and drive forward research in this area.

Market Research

There are more than 6,000 perceived uncommon diseases and it has been assessed that a further 5 are depicted every week.75% of rare diseases influence children.30% of rare disease patients die before 5 years old and,whilst each affects less than 0.1% of the population, the quantity of patients influenced by rare diseases is around 27-36 million in the EU, 25-30 million in the US, and 350 million people are affected around the world, but the true burden of rare diseases is difficult to estimate hard to evaluate subsequent to epidemiological information for most uncommon infections are not accessible. Among the rare diseases recognized and contemplated by EURORIDS it is found that 28.1% autosomal recessive inheritance,26.5% autosomal dominant inheritance, some are sporadic and few are with no etiology.There will be a steady increase in the cumulative number of diseases for which an orphan drug is approved, averaging just over 5 new diseases per year over the next 10 years. The annual per patient cost of global orphan drugs was varies between €1,251 and €407,631, with the median cost being €32,242 per year. The share of the total pharmaceutical market represented by orphan drugs is anticipated to increase from 3.3% in 2010 to a range of 4.6% in 2016 after which it is expected to level off through 2020. The global sales for orphan drugs are estimated at $178 billion, growing by11.7% per year, over the five year period between 2015 and 2020, nearly double the yearly growth of the overall prescription drug market, There are more than 6000 rare diseases are occurring. On the whole, rare diseases may affect 30 million European Union citizens, affects less than 1 in 2000.

Life expectancy 

Among the couple of rare diseases studied it is found that 37.5% had ordinary lifespan - 25.7% possibly deadly during childbirth or before 5 years old - 36.8% lessened lifespan, depending on the seriousness, penetrance or type (child, juvenile or adult types) of the disease.

 

                               

   

                         

 

Funds for research

EU has declared 38 million euro financing for exploration towards orphan medicines and for the improvement of a central worldwide rare disease hub involving 70 institutions. The EU subsidizing encouraged the arrangement of multidisciplinary groups from colleges, research associations, SMEs, industry and patient associations from crosswise over Europe and beyond. National Institute for Health Research had released funds of £5 million for each annum for the Rare Diseases Translational Research Collaboration furthermore NIH funded 19 proceeding and new clinical examination consortia to fortify the progressing clinical exploration in rare diseases.
