Patient preferences in cardiology: methodological aspects and integration decision-making

This project wants to investigate how to optimize, validate and implement patient preference research (PPS) in healthcare decision-making along the drug life cycle. To this end, the PhD student will 1) undertake research to optimize PPS attribute development and method selection; 2) investigate how unmet patients’ needs and clinical trial endpoints, revealed in PPS, can be systematically included to guide decisions by industry, regulators, HTA bodies and payers; 3) develop consensus-based guidance for regulators and HTA bodies on how to include, systematically assess and report patient preference results in their decision-making.
