for questions the agency hopes to have answered
 

FDA recognizes a need for greater understanding of how patients define and perceive benefits and risks about medical products.  The FDA Patient Network is hosting this one-day meeting to:

• explore the drug and medical device regulatory processes;
• discuss where patient input is practical and most valuable; and,
• explore practical approaches to collecting meaningful patient input.

We will hold a series of presentations, exercises, and panel discussions throughout the meeting to facilitate a conversation between FDA decision-makers and the patient community about these important topics. We anticipate valuable input from meeting participants and expert panelists on:

• ways to effectively include patient input in FDA benefit-risk decision-making; and,
• how to prioritize diseases or conditions to approach in future benefit-risk discussions.

Who Should Attend?

Patients/caregivers and patient advocates should attend.  Members of the general public are also invited to attend, including health professional, academia, and industry representatives.
