Defining the Science of Patient Input to Enhance Drug Development and Approval: Regulatory
Session Chair(s)
Bennett Levitan, MD, PhD
Senior Director, Benefit-Risk Assessment, Global Epidemiology
Janssen Research & Development LLC, United States
Presenters will discuss how patient input and real world evidence can be used to meet the "adequate and well-controlled studies" standard. The panel will discuss the meaning of the science of patient input, and provide examples of successfully using patient input (e.g., in making trial endpoint decisions; weighing benefit/risk; modifying study protocols based on patient input, etc.) within the regulatory context to enhance drug development and approval by incorporating the patient voice. Gaps and challenges with suggested solutions will be discussed, and differences among US and non-US regulatory agencies may be considered.
Learning Objective : (1) Identify examples of how patient input informed regulatory agency decision-making; (2) Appraise models of patient engagement during drug development; (3) Integrate patient engagement strategies into industry programs to inform clinical and regulatory strategy
