As the healthcare industry gravitates toward increased patient centricity in an all-out effort to achieve the best possible health outcomes, it follows that drug manufacturers are seeking new ways to successfully incorporate patient feedback into clinical development.

When it comes to combination product clinical development in particular, a host of factors allow healthcare companies to effectively harness patient insights from reported usability outcomes – right from the roles and structures of the development team itself to the deployment of new product innovations that drive enhanced usability for the patient.

Best Practices, LLC conducted benchmarking research to explore how leading companies are successfully collecting patient feedback during major clinical trials and leveraging this data to make it easier to ensure that patients stay adherent and face fewer obstacles during treatment.

This report delivers critical benchmarks around clinical development team structure, roles, and operational standards for driving enhanced usability. This report also highlights the optimal measure targets, utilization, and deployment of patient and observer usability measures being used by leading pharma, biotech and medical device combination product makers. This report also features a case study on the implementation of a wide-breadth patient-reported usability outcome program by a large leading biopharma company.

Industries Profiled:
Pharmaceutical; Consumer Products; Biopharmaceutical; Health Care; Biotech; Clinical Research; Laboratories; Medical Device


Companies Profiled:
Novartis; Windtree Therapeutics; EMD Serono; Merck; Sanofi; Shire; Bausch + Lomb; Alkermes

Study Snapshot

Best Practices, LLC engaged 11 industry leaders from 8 companies through a benchmarking survey.
Included in this research are qualitative insights and case studies generated from partnering with these industry leaders.

Key topics covered in this report include:

  • Combination product clinical development team structures
  • Effective sub-teams for critical development activities
  • Reported usability outcome measure data ownership and use
  • Late phase trial methods: Home-use vs. In-clinic vs. mix of both, timing of to-be-marketed device use
  • Observer & Patient reported usability outcomes by phase, effectiveness, and volume of implementation
  • The most effective and essential observer and patient outcome measures


Key Findings

Select key insights uncovered from this report are noted below. Detailed findings are available in the full report.

  • Late Phase Trial Analysis for Combination Products:
    • When first testing the to-be-marketed form of a combination product, structure trials with at least some component of in-clinic administration.
    • In-clinic administration is an essential trial design component when deploying usability outcome measures prior to Phase III, using a mix of home & in-clinic is more prominent for Phase III and Open label extensions.
  • Development Team Composition: 100% of large companies implement a formal team for combo product clinical development. Team composition trends towards two forms – (1) Device oriented teams, and (2) Cross functional teams. Cross functional teams saw greater effectiveness in using reported usability outcome measures from clinical trials to improve products.

  • Essential Roles: Key roles represented on cross functional teams include: (1) HEOR representative, (2) Marketing representative, (3) Product representative.
