Defining Patient Experience Data in Light of the US 21st Century Cures Act
Baltimore, MD, USA—May 21, 2018—
ISPOR, the professional society for health economics and outcomes research, held a session, “What Is Patient Experience Data? The Regulatory Perspective [W2],” this morning at
ISPOR 2018 in Baltimore, MD, USA. This session was led by speakers from a variety of divisions at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Sliver Spring, MD, USA:
- Martin Ho, MS, Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH)
- Megan Moncur, MS, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER)
- Pujita Vaidya, MPH, Office of Strategic Programs/Office of Program and Strategic Analysis, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)
Over the past 5 years, the US FDA has made strides toward incorporating the “patient voice” in medical product decision-making. The Patient-Focused Drug Development and Patient Preference initiatives, begun under the FDA Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) of 2012, led to 24 public meetings held to learn from patients about their disease experience and to produce a guidance document about patient preference information in medical device applications. The 21st Century Cures Act and other FDA initiatives have helped to solidify the objectives of these initiatives.
The speakers discussed current efforts to promote and advance the incorporation of patient input into the regulatory decision making processes. Providing examples of patient experience data and its application in medical product development, they identified opportunities for patient stakeholders to help strengthen capacity and advance fit-for-purpose methods and tools.
