Opportunities for Patient involvement along the medicine lifecycle at EMA
7
Principles for the involvement in review process
• The purpose of the review is to ensure that the information is clear and understandable
for “lay people”, and that it fulfils the public’s needs in terms of information content
• All documents for review are confidential until they are made public; all experts must
have signed confidentiality undertaking
• The documents are exchanged by Eudralink e-mail
8
What are EPAR summaries?
9
What are EPAR summaries? (cont.)
• They do not replace product information (which includes the package leaflet)
• Full EPAR includes product information as well as CHMP Assessment Report
• Required by EU law to be published along with the full EPAR
10
Find medicine/human
medicines/EPARs
11
How EPAR summaries are
prepared
• Documents used for preparation
– Product information
– Adopted CHMP assessment reports
– Internal style guide
– Glossary of medical terms
12
The review process
• Medical writers
• EMA product team
• Patient and consumer organisations (PCOs)
• Rapporteur and Co-Rapporteur (assessors)
• Company
13
Why the patient/consumer review?
• Patient/consumer perspective
• Patients and public concerns
• Only review without source documents
• Appropriate use of language
• Quality check
14
Things to look out for
• Complicated/oversimplified language
• Unexplained scientific terms
• Inappropriate explanations
• Unnecessary/missing information
• Confusing numbers
• Do you understand the main benefits?
• Do you understand basis for approval?
15
Patient/consumer comments
• All comments are considered
• Write what you think/feel
• Comments can be in any form:
– General or specific
– Text changes (tracked)
– Suggestions
– Questions
16
Impact of patient/consumer review
• Comments are noticeably different from other reviews
• On average half of comments lead to text changes
• Many implemented with modifications
• Some not implemented immediately but are used for future reference for changing
templates and standard definitions
17
Thank you
Any questions?
