Webinar Replay: Outcome Assessments: Review of FDA Workshop and Implications to New Drug Development
On October 19, FDA conducted a public workshop to discuss measurement principles for Outcome Assessments (OAs) used in clinical trials for new drugs. OAs include patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures, clinician-reported outcome (ClinRO) measures, and observer reported outcome (ObsRO) measures. The workshop outlined FDA’s expectations for the development and qualification to establish that OAs are fit for purpose and appropriate for their context of use.
In this webinar, former FDA official Dr. John Powers and invivodata/PRO Consulting’s Dr. Jean Paty reviews the key take-aways from the FDA workshop and discusses the implications to researchers using OAs in new medical product development. Specific focus on choice and development of different types of outcomes will be reviewed, including the importance of content validity, reliability, construct validity and other measurement properties for all types of outcomes that are strategic to product development.
