In today’s patient-driven and competitive drug development landscape, healthcare organizations and related clinical studies cannot succeed without active patient insight through Clinical Outcome Assessments (COAs).

There is a growing need for the life science industry to collaborate and take a strategic approach on the patient perspective by seamlessly incorporating COA in trials without the usual setbacks like timeline delays and increasing health authorities’ requirements.

In this webinar we will outline how to optimise and carefully manage COAs using an end-to-end approach - from initial risk assessment to full implementation.

Discussion topics include:

  • Introduction to different types of COAs (different types of existing scales), general process and requirements for COA use in clinical studies

  • How to recognise the main triggers and factors that cause electronic clinical outcome assessment (eCOA) implementation to end up on the critical path

  • Understand how an end-to-end approach to eCOA implementation minimizes the risk of getting on the critical path

Brian Lillis

Director, Clinical Outcomes Technology, ICON

Brian has over 13 years of experience in the development of site and patient facing eClinical Technology solutions. He has a broad range of experience across product development, operations, and solution architecture. In this current role, he oversees the implementation of eCOA on ICON trials and is focused on how to streamline the eCOA implementation process across all stakeholders to ensure it does not become the critical path in clinical trial start up.
