Why Now?

---

In a world where only 10% of medicines make it to launch, incorporating a patient-centric study design has been proven beneficial for industry. In fact, an Economist Intelligence Unit study reported that medicines developed with patient preferences and input early on, showed a 10-20% increase in likelihood of launch compared to medicines without this approach. Conversely, not involving patients early in medicines development increases the risk of a failed trial.

Registration is now open. We look forward to having you join us for the 2020 Patients as Partners EU conference in London.
