C-Path and EFACTS Announce Data Sharing Agreement Making RDCA-DAP the Largest Worldwide Database for Friedreich’s Ataxia

TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 10, 2022 — Critical Path Institute (C-Path) and the European Friedreich’s Ataxia Consortium for Translational Studies (EFACTS) today announced a data sharing agreement to incorporate patient data into C-Path’s Rare Disease Cures Accelerator-Data and Analytics Platform (RDCA-DAP®) solidifying RDCA-DAP as the largest worldwide database for Friedreich’s ataxia. 

 “The Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) partnered with C-Path to create a database that could integrate data from natural history studies and clinical trials, FA Integrated Clinical Database (FA-ICD), and we are really excited that this data is now part of RDCA-DAP and that our EFACTS partners are also contributing such informative data,” said FARA CEO Jennifer Farmer, M.S. “The collaboration with EFACTS goes beyond the contribution of this important data as EFACTS concomitantly joins the steering committee of the C-Path’s taskforce for FA and will inform new research. We look forward to the new insights and clinical trial tools that will be derived from having such a robust database shared with the research community.”
