What is an "Externally-led Patient Focused Drug Development (PFDD) Meeting"?
The FDA states, “Patient-focused drug development is a systematic approach to help ensure that patients’ experiences, perspectives, needs, and priorities are captured and meaningfully incorporated into drug development and evaluation. As experts in what it is like to live with their conditions, patients are uniquely positioned to inform the understanding of the therapeutic context for drug development and evaluation”. So, a PFDD meeting is a platform for the patient community to share the stories of how their lives are impacted by the disease and their hopes and priorities when it comes to any potential therapies. A PFDD meeting is not specific to any drug and therapy but rather a moment to hear the patient voice on the disease impact and what meaningful improvement looks like from the patient and caregiver perspective. ("Externally-led" means that the meeting is being run by the patient community rather than being hosted by the FDA.) |
