About HNF

Founded in the early 2000’s, HNF developed the Therapeutic Research in Accelerated Discovery (TRIAD) as a collaborative effort with academia, government, and industry to develop treatments for CMT.

In accordance with the FDA’s patient-focused drug development guidance for enhancing the incorporation of the patient’s voice in medical product development and regulatory decision making, HNF has developed a regulatory strategy to support FDA Guidelines to engage with industry early on and assist with collecting and submitting robust and meaningful patient experience data, and other relevant information from patients and caregivers, such as identifying what is important to patients.

HNF is actively committed to increasing awareness and accurate diagnosis of CMT and providing patients and families with critical information to improve quality of life.
