TwoLegs Consulting has launched the Foresight Workshop Series:

Workshop 1:
Why is it imperative to take a patient-centered approach to demonstrate clinical value to payers?
The workshop presents an analysis of the new landscape, challenges and opportunities related to Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO). The highlights include examples of recent HTA reviews and the analysis of guidelines (WellPoint, IQWiG, EunetHTA…). A discussion is proposed about the converging approach of regulators and HTA reviewers to better integrate the patient perspective and PRO in their decisions. Finally the workshop presents a roadmap for integrating an effective outcome assessment strategy focusing on clinical value to both regulators and payers.

Workshop 2:
Application of the Clinical Outcome Assessment model for labeling in the US and EU: why this is a must do.
The workshop presents the recent clinical outcome assessment paradigm, its foundation and the distinction between the four types of outcome assessments: Patient-Reported, Observer-Reported, and Clinician-Reported (respectively PRO, ObsRO, ClinRO), and Performance Outcome assessments (PerfO). Their role to demonstrate or support direct evidence of treatment benefit is reviewed as well as the newly developed good measurement principles for ClinRo. FDA and EMA similarities and differences in labeling are highlighted. Finally the workshop presents a roadmap for integrating an outcome assessment strategy which is truly patient-centered and targeted to labeling.

Both workshops are available in the US and EU and can be tailored to the therapeutic areas of interest to the sponsor.
