On April 27-28, 2016 the SEVENTH ANNUAL PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOME CONSORTIUM WORKSHOP was held in Silver Spring, Maryland. The overall Workshop objectives were to:
• Provide updates on FDA’s Clinical Outcome Assessment (COA) Qualification Program and COA Compendium
• Discuss progress made within the PRO Consortium, with particular focus on the development of the Symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder Scale (SMDDS) by the Depression Working Group
• Discuss ways of generating evidence to support the content validity of performance outcome (PerfO) measures used to assess efficacy endpoints in clinical trials
• Provide examples of the development and implementation of COA tools in pediatric clinical trials
• Describe NCI’s Patient-Reported Outcomes Version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) and some of the methodological considerations for its implementation in trials
• Build on last year’s workshop presentation titled Interpreting Change in Scores on COA Endpoint Measures by discussing emerging approaches to estimating meaningful change on COA (particularly PRO) measures
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.
