[#WorldHemophiliaDay | von Willebrand Disease – 100 Years] ❓ What if improving diagnosis could change thousands of lives? ❓ What can we learn from haemophilia to better identify and manage von Willebrand disease? ❓ And how can we close the gap for patients who remain undiagnosed today? ✅ On World Haemophilia Day, we highlight the importance of diagnosis — and the inspiring progress made in haemophilia care, which continues to serve as a model for improving awareness, diagnosis and management of von Willebrand disease. 🎙️ Professor Erik Berntorp shares his expert perspective and invites us to use this 100-year milestone as a catalyst to build hope together. 👉 A powerful reminder that, despite a century of progress, much remains to be done — particularly in raising awareness among healthcare professionals: “𝒗𝒐𝒏 𝑾𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒘 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒂𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒂.

Today we announced positive topline results from our pivotal phase 3 REVEAL-2 clinical trial which evaluated elegrobart in chronic thyroid eye disease (TED). These results build on the positive topline findings from our REVEAL-1 clinical trial in active TED, shared earlier this year. These encouraging findings represent a major step forward in our efforts to address the daily challenges and unmet needs of people living with active and chronic #ThyroidEyeDisease.

[von Willebrand Disease |100 Years] On the occasion of World Haemophilia Day, which highlights the importance of diagnosis, we can see just how far we have come over the last 💯 years in understanding and identifying von Willebrand disease. 🔬 From the first description of the disease to today’s ability to differentiate subtypes and tailor care, progress has been significant. And yet, there is still a long way to go, as many patients remain undiagnosed. Behind this reality, there are personal journeys. 🎥 Audrey’s story reminds us of what diagnosis truly means for patients and their families, not just a medical answer, but a turning point. As Professor Erik Berntorp emphasises, the challenge now is clear: 👉 Improve awareness 👉 Promote earlier diagnosis 👉 Ensure better access to care 🤝 This is a collective effort alongside healthcare professionals, researchers, industry, and patient organisations such as the World Federation of Hemophilia / Fédération mondiale de l'hémophilie, which aims to improve recognition and support patients worldwide. Belgian hemophilia society AHVH 💪 Together, we continue Building Hope Together. #BuildingHopeTogether

April is Fabry Disease Awareness Month. Swipe to the final slide to hear from the Australian Fabry Community. Fabry disease is a rare, inherited condition that often goes unrecognised, but early diagnosis can make a meaningful difference to patient outcomes. Raising awareness is key to helping more people access the care and support they need. This month, we’re shining a light on Fabry disease because awareness leads to understanding, earlier intervention, and better lives. Let’s keep the conversation going. #ChiesiAU #FabryDisease

For many people living with a rare disease, the path to diagnosis and care is long and complex — often described as a diagnostic odyssey. Symptoms may appear without a clear cause, leading to repeated consultations, multiple specialists and, frequently, misdiagnosis. This can delay access to appropriate care and create uncertainty, anxiety and frustration. Even after diagnosis, the journey continues. Patients often face complex care pathways, limited treatment options, and the ongoing challenge of coordinating care while managing the impact on daily life. The emotional burden can be significant, and connection with patient organisations and the wider community plays a vital role in providing support and understanding. Raising awareness of the rare disease journey is essential to improving recognition, strengthening care pathways and better supporting patients at every stage. At Neopharmed Gentili Rare Disease, we are committed to supporting the rare disease community and contributing to greater understanding of the challenges patients face. Together we stand: Connected to Rare, Committed to Life. #RareDisease #PatientJourney #DiagnosisMatters #RareDiseaseCommunity #NeopharmedGentiliRareDisease

Indeed navigating the pathway to treatment for rare diseases is rarely straightforward. It’s not just the clinical complexity—it's the emotional weight carried by patients and their carers, the prolonged and often uncertain timelines, and the frequent challenge of securing funding.

My favourite part of every Canadian Respiratory Conference hosted by Canadian Thoracic Society / Société canadienne de thoracologie is when I get the privilege to award the Canadian Lung Association Inspiration Award. This award is given out to the poster presentation that is newsworthy and inspiring in terms of the potential to create change. We were so excited to hear the work being done by Massimo Catena from McGill University entitled 'The Performance of a Machine Learning (ML) Algorithm for Interpretation of Spirometry in Community Practice' and excited to see the potential for this innovation to shape diagnoses of lung disease in the future. #CRC2026
We were so excited to award Massimo Catena from McGill University with the CLA Inspiration Award at #CRC2026. Massimo used spirometry data from a community clinic to compare the results of an algorithm's classification of asthma, COPD and ILD and healthy controls against expert-confirmed interpretation of the same data. As they improve the algorithm's accuracy, it may help rapidly screen people living lung disease. We look forward to much more great research from this inspiring young man!
