On April 26-27, 2017 the EIGHTH ANNUAL PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOME CONSORTIUM WORKSHOP was held in Bethesda, Maryland. The overall Workshop objectives were to:
• Provide an update on FDA’s Clinical Outcome Assessment (COA) Qualification Program;
• Describe progress within the PRO Consortium, with focused attention on the development of the Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Symptom Assessment Questionnaire (NSCLC-SAQ) by the NCSLC Working Group;
• Discuss perceived barriers to the adoption of electronic collection of COA-based endpoint data in clinical trials along with potential solutions;
• Describe existing measurement gaps and challenges associated with the collection of COA-based endpoint data in pediatric treatment trials and explore an innovative assessment approach for childhood asthma;
• Compare and contrast approaches to generating scores from PRO measures and discuss the Asthma Working Group’s Asthma Daily Symptom Diary (ADSD) as an example of one approach; and
• Having started with the end in mind, describe the process of getting from clinical outcome assessment to clinical trial endpoint to medical product labeling to direct to consumer advertising.
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.
