From drug development and clinical science to regulatory science and public health, we explore the collaborative efforts that drive innovation. We really hope all of our stakeholders enjoy it, learn more about C-Path, the great work we are doing, and about the industry in general.”
The series also explores how C-Path’s consortia and programs learn from one another, build on shared expertise, and collectively advance solutions for patients worldwide. Klaus is joined in this the inaugural episode by guest Dr. Cheryl Coon, Vice President of C-Path’s Critical Outcome Assessment (COA) Program, who explores how COAs are essential in measuring patient experiences and determining drug efficacy.
Cheryl and Klaus discuss how clinical outcome assessments are designed to measure how people feel and function, thus providing critical evidence to evaluate drug efficacy and safety. The episode emphasizes the significance of capturing meaningful experiences from people participating in clinical trials and how these experiences can be captured through rigorous methodologies. They also delve into various types of metrics used in clinical trials, the role of digital health technologies, and the importance of understanding which unmet drug development needs COAs are intended to address.
