Overview of Lay Patient Summary
Importance of Sharing Results
Patient Perspective:
• 95% of trial participants have positive experiences overall, but many feel let down at the end
of the study.1
o “You give them your last couple of blood draws and that’s it. You’re done with it.
Everything stops. You get cut off.”2
o “You are extremely well informed, but once you come off the trial there is not one letter.
Nothing...”3
Investigator and Site Staff Perspective:
• 49/50 support overall approach in qualitative evaluations, noting ethical responsibility and
patient interest.7

Regulatory Landscape
United States European Union
• FDA Amendments Act (2007) allows HHS to
require “non-technical, understandable language
for patients” on ClinicalTrials.gov. Implementation
date uncertain.
• 2014 draft informed consent guidance:
“Investigators and sponsors can describe other
plans in the consent document for informing
subjects of the outcomes of the clinical
investigation.”
• SACHRP: “Agencies should take steps to promote
the return of general results to subjects, due to the
value of providing general results to subjects.”
• 2014 Clinical Trials Regulation: “Within one year
from the end of a clinical trial… the sponsor shall
submit to the EU database a summary of the
results… It shall be accompanied by a summary
written in a manner that is understandable to
laypersons.”
• Applies to all Phase I – IV interventional trials.
Posting required within 1 year of study completion
(6 months for pediatric trials).
• Guidance in active development for 2018
implementation.
