Respiratory Update: Interpreting Minimal Clinically Important Differences in COPD and Demonstrating Product Value with Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs)

Life Sciences, Clinical Trials, Pharmaceutical,
  • Wednesday, December 04, 2013

Pharmaceutical companies face the daunting task of getting new respiratory products approved and launched in a crowded marketplace. Two main challenges in respiratory clinical trials are; interpreting minimal clinically important differences (MCID) and designing a patient reported instrument to demonstrate a compound’s value. Both are critical in the approval of your compound as well as in post marketing activities.

To compete effectively in the respiratory market, it is critical to show the value of your product over the competition. One way to do this is to examine the effect of new products on patients using Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs).

In this webinar, the presenters will examine MCIDs and different types of PROs that are available for respiratory diseases and review case studies of successful demonstrations of product value in respiratory programs.
