Enhancing Patient-Reported Outcomes Assessment in Cancer Trials
A panel of experts will discuss issues related to these broad themes:
- Identifying when, where, and how Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) assessment is likely to add significant value to the findings from a cancer trial and therefore should be recommended.
- Developing guidance for the cost-effective conduct of PRO assessment in trials to maximize the useful information obtained while holding respondent and administrative burdens to acceptable levels.
- Specifying how the research agenda in cancer outcomes measurement and evaluation can best inform decisionmaking on the use of PROs in cancer trials.
