Key #2 For Successful ePRO Selection In Your Ophthalmology Clinical Trial: Use Your PROs To Power Economic Evaluations

Incorporating an economic evaluation within a trial provides valuable information for clinical decision making and coverage determinations, particularly when the clinical effectiveness of the interventions is similar but might vary in terms of patient-reported ability to read, drive or work. In order to understand the impact of an investigational drug on patients’ quality of life (QoL), and analyze its economic consequences, many trials include utility measures. The utility measures help to define and assign value to health states of interest.  A helpful tool for measuring QoL is the PRO, which is a significant input for cost-effectiveness models. Watch the available video to find out more about the effectiveness of the PRO, specifically in ophthalmology.
