• Keys to cultivating top-down endorsement & buy-in
• Dealing with the financial aspects of patient advocacy(ROI, funding, support)

What’s the deal with…Patient-Focused Drug Development?

The Patient-Focused Drug Development (PFDD) initiative aims to more systematically obtain the patient perspective on specific diseases and their treatments. The patient perspective is critical in helping FDA understand the context in which regulatory decisions are made for new drugs. PFDD meetings give FDA and other key stakeholders, including medical product developers, health care providers, federal partners, an important opportunity to hear directly from patients, their families, caregivers, and patient advocates about the symptoms that matter most to them, the impact the disease has on patients’ daily lives, and patients’ experiences with currently available treatments. This input can inform FDA’s decisions and oversight both during drug development and during our review of a marketing application.

Session TBD: How does Patient Advocacy show ROI?

One of the most challenging aspect of working in the PA space is demonstrating Return-On-Investment (ROI) in comparison with other business functions. At the end of the day, pharma is a business, and, while the advocacy activities are a contributor to the overall patient experience, they often in do not show up in their contributions to the bottom line.
 
What are some ways that PA can show value when compared with the rest of the organization?
How do PA efforts tie into basic metrics, such as Rx volume?
What are some examples of how PA activities have been effectively been quantified.
 
Speaker TBD
