Overview
Outcomes assessment is a fundamental aspect of clinical trial design and implementation.
Patient reported outcomes (PROs) provide unique information on the impact of a medical condition and its treatment from the patient’s perspective and are increasingly recognized by regulators, clinicians, and patients as valuable tools to collect patient-centred data.
PROs should be included as primary or secondary outcomes in clinical trials to ensure the impact of a trial intervention is comprehensively assessed.
Key facts
