A 3-Day Festival of Ideas from Patients, Pharma and FDA on How Patient Engagement and Involvement Gets Done
The 7th annual Patients as Partners is guided by a dedicated group of advisors from pharma and biotech, patient advocacy and FDA whom meet quarterly to develop the conference agenda. This is the only event that truly demonstrates how patient involvement gets done throughout the entire medicines development life cycle to drive greater efficiencies in clinical research. We look forward to presenting this event virtually for the first time with a first-rate platform and a global reach.
The program delves deep into patient involvement ideas, strategies and implementation processes that biopharma can utilize in order to help advance patient participation for better clinical outcomes. Each session demonstrates the what, where, when and how to co-create solutions with patients and measure the impact of those initiatives.

Throughout our research we learned that the need to involve patients early in the medicines development lifecycle is greater than ever, but often people who have direct contact with patients are not necessarily trained to work with patients to empathize with their condition and lifestyle.
In 2010, we knew through our research that something drastically had to change and a paradigm shift in how the industry views and works with patients was paramount. We also realized that as researchers, we needed to start with ourselves. We needed to make that paradigm shift in who and how we do our research. With that, seven years ago, for the first time we began to research directly with patients. Getting their feedback changed the way we produce our conferences and, more importantly, how we can affect positive change for patients through our conferences.
Patients taught us empathy with their disease, but also with their lifestyle and their struggles in finding and experiencing a clinical trial. In particular, we learned the vital need to:
- Understand and incorporate the patient’s input in designing clinical trials and developing a clinical endpoint
- Vastly improve the patient’s entire experience in a clinical trial
Thanks to patients, we are patients included and we have developed a true partnership in the development of our programs and have the following patient initiatives in place:
- Patient advisory board to research with and gain input on the program agenda
- Patients have speaking opportunities on every session (where applicable)
- Dedicated patient-led sessions, panels and roundtables
- Ask the Patient onsite program where patients share their clinical trial experience with industry to help create better clinical research and trials efficiencies and outcomes for patients
A special thanks to our advisors for their unwavering guidance and expertise in helping us with the research to craft an in-depth agenda that puts the “discussion” around patient involvement into action across the entire clinical development continuum.
Again, we look forward to presenting this event virtually for the first time with a first-rate platform. We’re excited to connect with an even broader audience and are committed to providing the same engaging, thought-provoking experience you’ve come to expect from us.
