Globally, patients are now invited to state their perspectives and preferences on new needed medicines and to provide input to regulatory benefit-risk assessments. Therefore, the importance of patient engagement is now recognized as a critical step throughout the lifecycle of a therapeutic product from drug development to their safe use once on the market. As a result regulators and other stakeholders are working toward ensuring that patient experiences are meaningfully captured. This includes consideration for engaging patients early on in trial design, endpoint development, clinical outcome assessment data (e.g., patient reported outcomes), as well as preferences on optimal design of the risk minimization tools. This session will provide various international and Canadian initiatives as they relate to this topic.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:- Gain information on various ongoing international and Canadian initiatives as they relate to this topic
- Understand examples of when patient involvement contributed to a regulatory decision, including those that raise unanswered questions or potential gaps in our understanding on how and when to engage the patient
