About
Remote or decentralized trials are a hot topic currently; among others, driven by the restrictions and concerns of patients and trial sites during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Industry is trying to find the right way to design trials with remote and decentralized virtual parts to enhance enrolment and keep retention high.
However….
How can we make sure that all the good ideas stand firm when those who must live through the clinical trial make up their mind really?
Do clinical trial participants really like to have a blood draw at home?
Do they trust the nurse coming to visit their child without a doctor?
Do they appreciate the advantages of e-ICF, regardless the disease?
This course will look into methodologies of patient partnering and patient engagement before and during the design of your clinical trial.
The focus will be on remote / decentralized trials. Still, the conclusions will be transferable to most other aspects of patient input into clinical trial design.
The course will navigate you through materials, methodologies, procedures and tools that can be used in real-practice to follow recent FDA guidance for PFDD (patient focused drug development) and recommendations of the EMA.
The following key elements will be part of the programme:
- ‘Patient focused drug development’ regulatory landscape
- Challenges with clinical trial designs and how to overcome these with Patient Engagement
- Differentiating between hype and actual patient value of remote/decentralized parts of clinical trials
- Defining different methodologies to obtain practical patient insights to improve decentralized/hybrid designs and conventional designs
- Best practice and typical traps
- Case studies
