The TREAT-NMD Advisory Committee for Therapeutics (TACT) is a unique multi-disciplinary model centred upon an international group of academic and industry drug development experts, including patient representatives. TACT gives advice on the translational and development pathway of therapeutic programs in rare Neuromuscular Diseases. Due to its success in the neuromuscular field, a toolkit to replicate the TACT model has been produced. The Advisory Committee for Therapeutics (ACT) toolkit is intended to support rare disease communities outside of Neuromuscular to establish their own ACT, by providing them with step-by-step guidance and template documentation.
