The course is targeted toward people who are interested in how patient experience data and clinical outcome assessment (COA) data can be used as evidence across drug development, in the pharmaceutical industry. By the end of the course you will better understand how this data is collected and analysed to evidence how patients feel, function or survive in the context of a clinical trial. More specifically, the course will cover: i) a background to COAs; ii) a background to patient experience data; iii) how to select, develop/modify and validate COAs using qualitative data (a) and psychometrics (b); iv) interpreting data on a COA; v) measuring treatment related tolerability via patient reported outcomes; vi) Common COA data outputs.
No experience in the pharmaceutical industry is needed for this course, but it is beneficial. This is an introductory course so an interest in qualitative and quantitative data and some basic knowledge in data analytics and statistics will be helpful for some lessons but is not required.
This module will cover a background of clinical outcome assessments (COAs) and patient experience data, what they are and what they consist of, how this data fits into drug development and the importance of this data as evidence to the external environement (such as health authorities) across the drug lifecycle

Moduldetails
This Module will discuss ways in which qualitative research is used to select, develop, modify or validate a COA. The amount of qualitative research study teams need to conduct can depend on how much qualitative research for the concept of interest in the context of use is already publically available. Qualitative research is often an initial step health authorities such as FDA mandate when they evaluate the suitability of existing and newly developed COAs selected for a clinical trial

This Module will discuss some of the common quantitative methods used when selecting, developing, modifying and validating a COA. This will include a background to psychometrics and the different properties that are considered for classical test therory and item response theory. It will also touch on the important topic of evaluating change in a COA, what that change means and methods to establish what threshold in the COA of interest would be described as meaningful from the patient's point of view

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
