Increasing the use of qualitative research methods in clinical trials
At Clinigma®, we are not the only ones recognizing the value of listening to the patient’s voice in clinical trials.
Increasingly, regulatory agencies – led by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicine Agency (EMA) – are acknowledging the value that patient feedback can contribute to medical product development. As part of an effort to enhance the incorporation of the patient’s voice in clinical trials, FDA has even developed Patient-Focused Drug Development (PFDD) guidance to capture patient feedback in clinical trials, and EMA will start developing similar guidances following the EMA regulatory science strategy 2025.
Furthermore, a systematic review that we did back in November 2019 reveals an increasing trend in the use of qualitative research methods in clinical trials. This means that trials are now beginning to use interviews to report on patients’ experiences of investigational drugs. Conducting patient interviews is highly valuable in order to explore the subjective experiences of clinical trial participants in more depth than found possible with quantitative approaches.
