PATIENTS – SCIENCE – INDUSTRY
March 6th, 2017
Derick Mitchell, PhD
Overview
• IPPOSI?
•What do Irish people think about clinical trials?
•What do we mean by patient involvement in trials?
IPPOSI? Who?IPPOSI
A patient-led organisation that works with patients, government, industry,
& science to put patients at the heart of health innovation
Priorities
20
Actively advocate for improved + equitable patient access to Health Innovation
Promote meaningful patient involvement in Health Research and Policy
Irish public perception
Irish general public’s attitude towards clinical research
Conclusions
Public Survey
• Limited understanding of how one can participate (donating blood/tissue, medical info.)
• Ethical concerns
• Unnecessary Risk
IPPOSI patient members (anecdotal)
(➕)• Access to innovative medicines &
technologies• Improved quality of care
(➖)• Benefit : Risk• Randomization• Compassionate Use• Ending of trial
Public information campaignclinicaltrials.ie
Patient involvement in clinical trials
Distinct from:• Recruitment of people as participants• Raising awareness• Sharing knowledge• Creating a dialogue with the public
Active partnership between members of the public and researchers in the clinical research process

Ethics Review
Will it make any difference?
Patient involvement can:• Provide a different perspective
• Make language + content of trial information clear and accessible
• Help to ensure trial methods are acceptable and sensitive
• Help ensure that trial uses outcomes that are important to the public
• Help increase participation in research in general
Patient‘s organisations have unique insights in “real life“ and “real needs“ of patients:

Educated Patient Communities
IPPOSI Training for Members
• Clinical Research• Health Technology Assessment• Pharmaceutical Code of Practices• Health Informatics (coming soon!)
EUPATI produces Expert Patients on Medicines R&D
• Training & Education• Disseminates through national platforms
Areas covered by the Patients’ Academy
1.Medicines development process from research to approval
2. Personalized and predictive medicine
3.Drug safety and risk/benefit assessment of medicines
4. Pharmaco-economics, health economics and health technology assessment
5. Design and objectives of clinical trials (& roles of stakeholders)
6. Patients roles & responsibilities in medicines development
…and NOT:develop indication-or therapy-specific

Roles change as a result of EUPATI course- creating patient leadersRole Before EUPATI After
Member of patient organisation, not actively involved 17% 2%
Active role in a patient organisation 62% 71%
Leadership role in a patient organisation 62% 71%
Employee of a patient organisation 25% 23%
Volunteer role in a patient organisation 60% 67%
Presenting at conferences, workshops etc. 63% 83%
Advising a pharmaceutical company 13% 44%
Advising a regulatory agency 21% 42%
Advising a reimbursement agency 4% 8%
EUPATI Fellows are increasingly taking leadership roles and are engaging with pharma, regulators and HTA bodies.
Role changes also imply identity shifts.
Everyone is different!
Researchers need support too
• Why?• Understand PPI and where it can be most effective in their work• Participation vs Engagement vs Involvement?
• How?• Bring together PPI info + resources relevant to your research in one place• Guidance on methodologies / practices• How to ensure it is meaningful? - Planning + Preparing
• Who?• Access people affected to be involved in your research
PriOriTY project on trial recruitment • Top 10 questions for research into
recruitment to randomised trials
• Supported by James Lind Alliance and HRB-‐TMRN
• IPPOSI + EUPATI fellow on Steering Committee
• Top 10 finalised at F2F Workshop in Birmingham, Dec 2016
• Dissemination based around International Clinical Trials Day, May 20th, 2017
Take Home Messages
Patient involvement can improve research quality
Education + Training of both patients & researchers is key
Support patient networks, communities & spread the word!
