PPD Evidera Patient-Centered Research
Improve outcomes with insights from the ultimate stakeholder—patients
Patient experience data are essential to the drug development process. Patient perspectives, preferences and outcomes can inform and impact decisions throughout the life cycle of your product. Their input enables you to better understand unmet treatment needs, reduce barriers to trial participation, influence product design and labeling, ensure regulatory and payer success, and optimize uptake—and empowers them to play an important role in their own future.
Gain confidence in your patient-focused strategies and studies by engaging a dedicated team of industry experts to support your goals. With a shared commitment to patients and their needs, our patient-centered research team enables a patient-centric approach to development and market access for your therapies by applying a comprehensive set of research solutions and strategies, combined with our global reach, efficiency and quality delivery.
Patient-centered research solutions
Leverage the power of the patient’s voice to accelerate drug development
Clinical outcome assessments
Incorporating appropriate outcome measures in your clinical studies is critical in demonstrating how your treatment improves patients’ lives. Understand the outcomes that are most important to patients in your disease area with measurable endpoints in clinical trial design. Applying the right approach to clinical outcome assessment (COA) use enables drug developers to achieve optimal results, demonstrating that a product addresses an unmet need or produces an outcome that is significantly meaningful to patients.
Whether looking to select, develop or validate outcome measures, our industry-leading COA experts will ensure you can meet your strategic goals and regulators’ needs. We also manage the licensing and distribution of certain COA tools in the areas of dermatology, gastroenterology, neurology and respiratory.
Patient preferences
In the competitive health care landscape, understanding and addressing patient preferences are critical throughout the patient and product journeys. Inform product design and meet regulatory and payer requirements with data derived directly from patients. Leverage our unparalleled expertise in patient preference research, including benefit-risk assessment, to understand patients’ choices and how they affect decision-making.
Embedded and exit interviews
Gather increasingly important patient experience data and enhance your product’s success by capturing the perspectives of the participants enrolled in your clinical trials. In-trial research enables you to gain a deeper understanding of disease experiences, expectations and treatment benefits, tolerability of safety events, or overall experiences of those participating in your studies. Our expertise in navigating the complexities of conducting embedded and exit interviews within a clinical trial allows you to efficiently capture the patient data you need to design better products and studies, while meeting the needs of regulators and other stakeholders.
Patient partnering, engagement and insights
Fostering relationships with patients and realizing the benefits of patient involvement can save precious time and expense and increase quality outcomes for patients. Ensure you have access to the right patient insights to optimize your product development, chances of regulatory success and product uptake. Through state-of-art patient partnering, engagement and insight methods, we enable our clients to engage with patients as research subjects, reviewers, advisers, co-creators, collaborators and partners.
StudyGage
Patient recruitment and retention are increasingly challenging due to study complexities, diverse patient needs and, in the case of rare diseases, small patient populations. What if you knew in advance which study design improved patient participation rates or led to better patient diversity? Now you can.
Predict patient willingness to participate in clinical studies and understand how alternative study designs may impact patient participation with StudyGage, an innovative, proprietary patient tool measuring study burden. Discover insights that drive efficient optimization of enrollment and achieve study milestones faster.
Utility studies
Economic evaluation data is increasingly being used for market access decision-making. Health utility studies provide insights to demonstrate the value of medical products in cost-effectiveness models or best capture the impact of your treatment on patients’ health-related quality of life. Our team of renowned utility research experts ensures your studies use the most appropriate utility estimation method and your utility assessment is sensitive to the unique aspects of treatments and health care interventions, optimizing the results of your cost-utility modeling.
