event-Short-Courses

November 8, 2026

Implement patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for patient-centered drug development

This course provides an overview of the key steps required to successfully implement patient-reported outcome (PRO) measurement within drug development programs. It focuses on generating evidence to support patient-centered value messaging across regulatory, reimbursement, and market access contexts.

Technical topics include:

  • Selection, evaluation, and validation of PRO instruments
  • Psychometric testing, data capture, and interpretation of PRO data
  • Regulatory and payer expectations for qualitative and quantitative PRO evidence
  • Determining meaningful change and the need for new instruments

This course includes tools and concepts that can be immediately applied, including:

  • Practical frameworks for reviewing and selecting PRO measures
  • Real-world case studies highlighting successful strategies and common pitfalls
  • Interactive discussions on best practices for PRO implementation in clinical trials

Participants will gain the knowledge and skills required to take on a more active and confident role in PRO strategy and implementation.

PREREQUISITE: This course assumes that participants will have a basic knowledge of key PRO-related concepts (eg, health-related quality of life, symptoms, impacts, a general knowledge of the PRO development steps, and a working knowledge of PRO measurement within clinical programs.)
