The Food and Drug Administration patient-reported outcome (PRO) guidance provides standards for PRO development, but these bring scientific logistical challenges which can result in a lengthy expensive instrument development process. Thus, more pragmatic methods are needed alongside traditional approaches.Partnering with the National Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) Society, we compared three eliciting patient experiences: 1) concept elicitation (CE) interviews 12 individuals AS, 2) "group...
Background: A subcutaneous (SC) formulation of rituximab (MabThera ® /Rituxan ) has been developed that could reduce administration time and improve patient satisfaction with treatment.

Introduction: Fatigue is an important fibromyalgia (FM) symptom, but existing measures of fatigue are unlikely to meet regulatory standards for clinical trial use. We describe the development and validation Daily Diary Symptoms—Fibromyalgia (DFS-Fibro), a 24-hour recall, patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure in FM that administered electronically (ePRO). Methods: There were 3 phases work: 1) item generation based on concept elicitation interviews with patients, relevance confirmed by expert...
Recent advances in treatment for chronic hepatitis C (CHC) virus infection have shortened duration of and increased the likelihood success. To understand what unmet needs remain with available CHC treatments, patient interviews explored it is like to live undergo treatment. A subset also evaluated content validity comprehension patient-reported outcome (PRO) questionnaires use clinical trials. Sixty-five patients clinician-confirmed diagnosis provided informed consent completed Germany...
