Patient Participation And Engagement In Clinical Trials
The role of the patient in clinical trials has seen tremendous change over the last decade, and that change is not complete. From serving as a critical voice during study design and planning to ensuring results and learnings reach the participant, research sponsors are seeking to engage patients throughout trial journey.
Session Abstract – PMWC 2020 Silicon Valley
Precision medicine has incredible promise for patients. Enormous amounts of money and time are invested in developing technologies and targeted therapies. Genomics, proteomics, phosphorylation assays, RNA expression, organoid growth, and testing, and even delicate mass measurement of liquid cancer cells are explored. This innovation must be focused to maximize the benefit to the most important participants in our healthcare system, the patient. This track is about putting patient needs first, and understanding and accessing the latest (cancer) treatment options.
