On April 24-25, 2019 the Tenth Annual Patient-Reported Outcome Consortium Workshop was held in Silver Spring, Maryland. The overall Workshop objectives were to:
- Provide an update on FDA’s Clinical Outcome Assessment (COA) Qualification Program and other initiatives;
- Describe new and emerging approaches to the assessment of clinical outcomes in rare diseases;
- Discuss efforts to qualify a performance outcome assessment tool for early Alzheimer’s disease;
- Explore the construction of clinical endpoints using activity monitor data in chronic heart failure trials;
- Discuss how sponsors and eCOA providers can work together to optimize COA data collection in trials; and
- Describe ways to use patient input to estimate meaningful within-patient change at the scale score level.
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.
