In this free webinar, learn how to engage with patients throughout the clinical research phase, from understanding their real unmet needs to be considered in the trial protocol, to co-creating trial endpoints with patients, to verifying that trial logistics are feasible. Patient insights can be applied to many aspects of the clinical design and are ideally gathered and integrated as early as possible.
TORONTO, June 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Engaging with patients – and their caregivers and advocates – during the planning and execution of clinical trials is crucial. When patients are involved in the clinical development plan and creation of the trial protocol and are encouraged to provide in-trial feedback, they are more likely to stay in the trial, understand their responsibilities, and adhere to the protocol requirements. Working in partnership with patients can ensure impactful clinical benefit of treatments that address important unmet patient needs prioritized from the patient's perspective.
In recent years, pharma and MedTech companies have become much more conscious of the role of patients in product development, including the potential of including their input in the clinical research stage. Patient, caregiver, and advocate insights can help sponsors and researchers plan and execute accessible clinical trials with more feasible protocols, improved inclusion/exclusion criteria, and meaningful endpoints, ideally yielding completed trials with more impactful results while also saving time and financial resources.
However, lack of awareness, resources, and time to participate in patient engagement activities can negatively affect a company's ability to benefit from patient input.
How do sponsors and researchers engage patients in the development lifecycle and make the most of their involvement in clinical trials?
In this webinar, our experts will review the range of tools that enable patient engagement during the clinical research stage of drug development.
The goal of every patient and their families is to have access to successful treatments that fully address their medical needs, with minimal invasion of their lives (time, pain, anxiety etc.). Therefore, patients should be working side by side with industry and regulators to make sure that new products indeed satisfy the above characteristics.
Join experts from Alira Health, Giulia Pierini (Moderator), Associate Director, Patient Engagement; Annabel de Maria, Chief Patient Officer; and Dr. Giacomo Basadonna, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Head of Global Medical Strategy, for the live webinar on Wednesday, June 28, 2023, at 11am EDT (4pm BST/UK).
