The Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO) Consortium is a public-private partnership established by the Critical Path Institute (C-Path) in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the medical products industry in 2008. The PRO Consortium brings together scientists from C-Path, industry, academia, and regulatory agencies in a pre-competitive environment for the purpose of developing, evaluating, and qualifying PRO instruments for use as primary or secondary endpoint measures in clinical trials designed to evaluate treatment benefit.

On April 29-30, 2014 the FIFTH ANNUAL PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOME CONSORTIUM WORKSHOP was held in Silver Spring, Maryland. The overall Workshop objectives were to:

  • Provide updates on the PRO instrument development and qualification activities within the PRO Consortium’s working groups and beyond
  • Discuss lessons learned regarding the practical, scientific, and regulatory issues surrounding the PRO instrument development and qualification process within a collaborative, pre-competitive, multi-stakeholder context
  • Discuss the development and implementation of well-defined and reliable clinical outcome assessment (COA) tools for pediatric clinical trials in asthma
  • Discuss the technical, scientific, and regulatory issues impacting the planning and implementation of electronic data collection of PRO endpoints in clinical trials

The following Workshop Agenda provides an overview of the day-and-a-half-long meeting as well as links to the slide sets and posters presented.
