Voices to Trials: Engaging Patients in Clinical Trial Design

To improve trial recruitment, engagement, and retention, and to increase the likelihood that trials reflect what matters most to patients, regulatory authorities increasingly point to methods for incorporating patient voice in the development of new therapeutics, specifically as part of clinical trials.

Join pharmaphorum on Tuesday 11th July at 10:00 ET / 15:00 BST / 16:00 CET for the webinar Voices to Trials: Engaging Patients in Clinical Trial Design, brought to you by Cerner Enviza, an Oracle Company, to hear about the company’s approach, and dive into a case study that successfully put the patient voice at the center of a trial design developed by Organon that was accepted by regulatory authorities.

Learn about important motivations to capture patient voices in clinical trial design that include:

• The consequence of ignoring patient priorities and experiences, which can negatively affect program development and trial execution success 
• The growing expectation by regulators that patient engagement play a meaningful role in trial design
• How listening to patient voices can help the life sciences act on patient needs in clinical trial development

Cerner Enviza presenters will share guiding principles of our qualitative exploratory approach. We will be joined by Organon, who will share their view on the importance of patient centricity to their business, development of their endometriosis-related pain trial, and relevance of capturing patient voice in the outcome of a regulatory submission process.

The webinar is intended for patient voice and patient engagement leaders, clinical directors and therapeutic leaders in the R&D industry, and teams involved in early evidence gathering.
