Patient-Centric Strategy

Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) Strategy

Our Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) Strategy service helps pharmaceutical companies incorporate patient perspectives into clinical development through PRO instruments and endpoints. We select appropriate PRO measures, design endpoint strategies, and support PRO evidence generation. Our approach ensures patient voice is captured in clinical trials and regulatory submissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What PRO instruments do you work with?

We work with established PRO instruments including PROMIS, SF-36, EQ-5D, disease-specific measures (EORTC, FACT, HAQ-DI), and can design custom PRO instruments when needed.

Can PROs support regulatory label claims?

Yes, FDA and EMA accept PRO endpoints for label claims when supported by validated instruments, appropriate trial design, and robust evidence packages. We design strategies to support PRO label claims.

How do you ensure PRO data quality?

We ensure PRO data quality through instrument validation, electronic PRO (ePRO) implementation, data collection protocols, missing data prevention, and statistical analysis plans aligned with ICH E9(R1).
