The FDA and EMA increasingly appreciate seeing how the patient voice has been incorporated to inform drug development. In-trial patient interviews are one of the most direct ways to capture it. But generating data that withstands regulatory scrutiny starts long before the first interview is conducted. This webinar explores how patient interviews can be planned from the outset to support regulatory expectations and produce usable clinical trial data.
Getting the planning right matters more than most teams realize. There are many practical pitfalls, hurdles and dependencies, each of which can jeopardize the collection of the in-trial interviews if not done correctly. Additionally, there are also many requirements to live up to, in order to ensure that the patients’ safety is secured and that the interviews can be trusted when they are submitted to the regulatory bodies.
This is the first in a four-part webinar series covering the full lifecycle of in-trial patient interviews. This opening session focuses on what to be mindful of when planning in-trial interviews: what the FDA and EMA guidance requires, what has changed with recent ICH-GCP guideline updates and what patient safety and data integrity mean in practice before a single interview begins. The featured speakers will walk through the most common planning mistakes and what a structured, compliant approach looks like.
Attendees will leave with a free RFP template and RFP checklist to evaluate and select patient interview vendors against the right criteria from day one.

CLINIGMA
CLINIGMA® specializes in in-trial patient interviews, capturing the patient voice at every stage of drug development, so that what patients actually experience and value informs regulatory submissions, labelling claims, and commercial decision-making.
We conduct interviews anywhere in the world, with active operations across 35+ countries and a global network of 300+ Master’s and PhD-level researchers. All interviews are conducted in full compliance with ICH-GCP, translating authentic patient insights into regulatory-grade evidence.
We manage the entire interview process, from planning to reporting, through our own interview platform. The CLINIGMA® Portal is the first system purpose-built to securely capture patients’ own words in real time, with full compliance with ICH-GCP and global data protection standards. Alongside it, we have built CLINIGMA® Explorer. It complements the final report by allowing transcripts to be filtered, searched, and compared as they arrive, giving teams a head start on understanding what matters most to patients.
