Orlando, Fla. — From comic books for kids in pediatric trials to including patients in protocol design, this year’s SCOPE conference revealed a fresh commitment to making trials more patient-centric.
At TESARO, executives see several areas where patient centricity can improve trial speed and efficiency: ensuring that the protocol is simple to administer for the patient; enhancing convenience so the patient stays in the study; using the patient community to identify the most important unmet need and building patient ownership and commitment to the trial.
