DIA 2025 Global Annual Meeting

Component Type: Session
Level: Intermediate

To guide patient focused drug development, patient input is sought by regulators and Health Technology Assessment (HTAs) in different ways around the world. The session will explore options to increase impact on development through greater coordination and information sharing.

Learning Objectives

Describe different options and processes for patient input into regulatory and HTA advice across key product development milestones; Discuss best practices in maximising the overall impact of patient input on development plans; Identify policy and process changes that would allow continuous improvement and learning across the various set pieces for patient engagement.

Join us for an engaging discussion on an ongoing DIA study on enhancing the integration of tolerability patient experience data into immune-oncology clinical trials. This session will explore the study’s efforts to address regulatory requirements for the collection of core tolerability patient experience data and the need for a comprehensive, multidimensional approach to assessing tolerability in cancer treatments. With a multistakeholder focus, the study aims to define tolerability more holistically by incorporating treatment-related factors, convenience, and patient beliefs. Learn about the study’s progress, next steps, and its potential to align with regulatory needs while addressing real-world patient concerns.

Learning Objectives

Recognize the significance of advancing patient-centric tolerability measurement in immune-oncology trials to enhance patient outcomes; List insights into the ongoing study and future steps aimed at addressing the real-world needs of patients through a multistakeholder framework.

This session will provide an opportunity for key stakeholders, including regulators, product developers and patients to discuss best practices around patient experience data, including planning, collecting, and submitting such data to regulators.

Learning Objectives

Discuss current expectations for regulator/sponsor interactions related to patient experience data that will be used in regulatory submissions; Recognize common pitfalls for submission of patient experience data in regulatory applications, and how to avoid them.
