Patient-focused clinical outcome assessments (COAs) are necessary for ensuring that the patient perspective is sufficiently incorporated into drug development decision-making. This session will cover regulatory, industry and instrument developer perspectives on how to efficiently and successfully design and implement patient-focused COAs as endpoints that are fit-for-purpose in drug development. FDA participant(s) will provide perspective on: 1) current initiatives (e.g., the COA Compendium, Critical Path Innovation Meetings, qualification partnerships, etc.) that can help facilitate the development and use of patient-focused COAs as endpoints in clinical trials; 2) best practices for interacting with the FDA; and 3) methods for engaging patients in COA endpoint development. An industry representative will offer perspective on recent patient-focused cultural shifts in industry and their impact on COA development and implementation in clinical trials. An Instrument developer will also discuss practical experiences in designing patient-focused COAs for use as endpoints in clinical trials.

Learning Objectives

Describe the best practices for successfully developing and implementing patient-focused COA study endpoints that are fit-for-purpose for use in clinical trials.
