Conference Overview

PROficiency™ 2012 – PROs and Beyond, invivodata’s 5th annual conference, will be held April 17-19, 2012 at the Waldorf Astoria Naples in Naples, Florida.

This premiere conference will address the many questions clinical researchers have about recent regulatory changes pertaining to selecting, evaluating, and providing evidence to support endpoints for their clinical development programs.

In October 2011, FDA conducted a public workshop to discuss measurement principles for Clinical Outcome Assessments (COAs) used in clinical trials for new drugs, including patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures, clinician-reported outcome (ClinRO) measures, and observer reported outcome (ObsRO) measures. By attending PROficiency 2012, clinical researchers will have access to current, critical information on the regulations and practical considerations of selecting, implementing, and defending all COAs to ensure they are fit for purpose and appropriate for their context of use.  There’s never been a better time to attend!

Conference Highlights
PROficiency 2012 features international regulatory experts, biopharma professionals and industry experts presenting case studies and strategic and tactical information on the effective and successful use of COAs in worldwide clinical development programs.  Attendees will network and learn from leading industry experts as they participate in general assemblies and sessions following tracks pertaining to the scientific and operational aspects of COA data collection in both Phase 2/3 and late stage research.

Attendees will come away from the conference with knowledge of the scientific and regulatory considerations of capturing patient perspective in clinical development – practical input that can be used day-to-day in their clinical research.  Don’t miss out on this must-attend event!
