Integrating patient-experience data (PED) in medicines regulation for better patient-centered outcomes is a priority for medicines regulators, including the FDA and the EU network. The FDA’s program on patient-focused drug development (PFDD) has yielded 4 scientific guidelines on PED, while in the EU work is ongoing to produce a reflection paper outlining pathways for progress, marking an initial step toward smoother PED integration in medicine development. The session will present the US and EU's position in this regard and draw on the experience in applying existing guidance to date.

Learning Objectives

Describe the work done by FDA’s Patient-Focused Drug Development (PFDD) program on scientific guidelines on patient-experience data (PED), challenges and future outlook; Describe how work is progressing in the EU to foster the generation and use of patient-experience data in medicines regulatory decision-making.
