Clinical Trial: Rare Disease Patient Registry & Natural History Study - Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford
Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Observational [Patient Registry]
Official Title: Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford
Brief Summary: CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access. Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.
Detailed Summary:
CoRDS collects contact, sociodemographic and health information about participants. This information is entered into CoRDS and linked to a unique coded identifier. Below are some examples of information requested on the Questionnaire that will be entered into CoRDS:
- Contact information: Name, Mailing Address, Phone Number, Email Address
- Sociodemographic information: Date of Birth, Place of Birth, Sex, Gender, Ethnicity
- Health information: Family History, Information related to Diagnosis
De-identified information in CoRDS will be made available to researchers, if they have obtained approval for their research project from (1) the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the researcher's institution and (2) a panel of experts led by Dr. David A. Pearce.
A subset of de-identified information collected from each profile may be shared with certain other databases. This is done in order to help improve understanding of rare diseases, to avoid the duplication of efforts and to collaborate with existing research efforts with organizations dedicated to rare diseases.
Participants may elect to have their information shared with patient advocacy groups (PAGs) representing individuals with rare or uncommon diseases who have partnered with CoRDS. The PAG will sign an agreement stating that they will not use the information for Research purposes. Dr. David A. Pearce and CoRDS personnel will not be held responsible for the use of information by the PAG.
The CoRDS Registry will not be paid by Researchers, Other Patient Registries or Patient Advocacy Groups (PAGs) for access to information
