A new JAMA study raises questions about what full FDA approval really means for nononcology drugs. More than 50% of these drugs, which transitioned from accelerated to regular approval, did so using surrogate endpoints—not direct measures benefits.

Despite rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders such as genetic epilepsies / DEEs being well suited to n of 1 trials there have only been a handful performed. N of 1 trials allow assessment of promising treatments in rare monogenetic epilepsies. #GETA2025

Understanding the natural history of rare disorders such as developmental epileptic encephalopathies is key to developing treatments, clinical trials, registration and reimbursement. The DEER natural history study is now open for recruitment globally via the QR code. #GETA2025

Finding the underlying cause in genetic epilepsies is important, but only the start of working towards an understanding and treatment. @ingridscheffer #GETA2025

AI cannot replace the clinician patient interface ! We were convinced by an excellent argument from @AMahajanMD @movedisorder
More meticulous clinicians, not bigger data —the winning argument on the debate on whether AI will replace neurologists: NO. AI can assist in diagnosis but not in replacing neurological care. A friendly exchange between @RayDorseyNeuro and @AMahajanMD #MDSCongress
