The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a virtual public meeting entitled "Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) and Medical Device Evaluation: From Conception to Implementation". The purpose of this public meeting is to discuss the benefits and challenges of incorporating the patient perspective in regulatory decision making using patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments.
BACKGROUND
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) at the FDA emphasizes the importance of including the patient voice during the design and evaluation of medical devices. The use of well-developed patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments helps to accomplish this in a structured, well-defined, and reliable way. These instruments (also called tools) include questionnaires, diaries, and numeric rating scales used to collect information directly from the patient about their health status and are not subject to interpretation by a healthcare provider or outside observer. Increasingly, PRO instruments are being used in clinical care to help evaluate medical conditions, being integrated into clinical investigations, and of importance to payers and regulators.
The FDA invites the medical device industry, patient organizations, research organizations, healthcare professionals, and payers to join this discussion on approaches to incorporating PRO instruments in regulatory decision making. Important topics that will be discussed include considerations for modifying and adapting PRO instruments, applications across the healthcare ecosystem, and potential efficient approaches.
DATE and TIME
This meeting will be held virtually on September 30, 2020 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (EDT).
