Navigating the COA Licensing Process: How to Prepare for Success

Life Sciences, Clinical Trials,
  • Tuesday, April 25, 2023

Clinical outcome assessments (COAs) are critical scientific tools used in clinical studies, disease treatment and daily care. They help measure the impact of disease and treatment on patients’ quality of life as well as elevate the patient voice. Each COA is carefully calibrated through rigorous research, peer review and target demographic testing. Because of their important role in collecting study data, they must comply with health authority requirements, developer guidance, copyright owner conditions of use and technical and linguistic methodologies designed to ensure their safe and accurate application.

Understanding the major factors that influence the COA licensing process can empower individuals and teams to coordinate this task with ease and skill. The featured speakers will review case examples and receive useful tips to help anticipate essential milestones. Attendees will leave this webinar with new strategies for alleviating operational complexity, saving time and ensuring compliance with overseeing regulatory bodies and intellectual property owners.

Join this webinar to learn the standard flow of activities for managing COA licensing, key considerations during study startup and common challenges.
