Patient Registry
The data infrastructure for any future clinical trial readiness in STRC / DFNB16 cohort. Modeled on the EveryLife Foundation patient-registry blueprint and the RARE-X federated-registry pattern.
Mandate
- Operate a STRC / DFNB16 patient registry (initial) — extensible to other rare hearing-genetics cohorts later
- Family-controlled records — patients own their data, consent per use
- IRB-approved
- Natural history data collection (audiograms, imaging, longitudinal hearing trajectory)
- Federate with RARE-X for cross-condition discoverability
Stack (target)
- RARE-X integration for federated registry layer
- Custom MISHA front-end (later) for STRC-specific intake form
- IRB: pursue WCG IRB or Advarra (US-based) for first cohort, HK IRB once headcount-eligible
Active projects
- index — Year 1 priority
Year 1 KRs
- KR1: RARE-X integration agreement signed (Month 6)
- KR2: 5+ STRC families enrolled (Month 9)
- KR3: IRB approval secured (Month 9)
