Patient Preference Information in Clinical Trial Design

The Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC) has released a patient-centered framework developed to help researchers interested in conducting rigorous patient preference studies for medical device design, development, evaluation, and regulatory submissions. “Using Patient Preference Information in the Design of Clinical Trials” outlines a systematic approach for patient-focused clinical trial design to meet patient needs and priorities better.

MDIC encourages clinical trial sponsors to incorporate patient perspectives into the total product life cycle, from research and development to clinical trial design and regulatory decision-making. Patient preference studies are a valuable methodology for sponsors.
