Abstract
PURPOSE: To design and build a new disease registry to track the natural history and outcomes of approved gene therapy in patients with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs). METHODS: A core committee of 6 members was convened to oversee the construction of the FIRB! module. A further 11 experts formed a steering committee, which discussed disease classification and variables to form minimum datasets via a consensus approach. RESULTS: The web-based FIRB! registry records baseline demographic, clinical and genetic data together with follow-up data. The Human Phenotype Ontology and Monarch Disease Ontology nomenclature were incorporated within the FIRB! architecture to standardise nomenclature. The registry software assigns individual diagnoses to one of 7 broad phenotypic groups, with minimum datasets dependent upon the broad phenotypic group. Additionally, minimum datasets were agreed upon for patients undergoing approved gene therapy with voretigene neparvovec (Luxturna). New patient entries can be completed in 5 minutes, and follow-up data can be entered in 2 minutes. CONCLUSIONS: Fight Inherited Retinal Blindness! (FIRB!) is an organized, web-based system that uses observational study methods to collect uniform data from IRD patients to track natural history and (uniquely) treatment outcomes. It is free to Users, who have control over their data.
