The pediatric patient population with chemotherapy-induced hearing loss represents a segment of the cancer survivor community with a severe burden of disease with a great unmet medical need. An externally-led, FDA-approved Patient-Focused Drug Development (PFDD) meeting on September 13, 2018, near Washington, DC will explore these issues in-depth.
The half-day meeting follows the FDA model for externally-led PFDD meetings and will feature a series of facilitated panel and audience discussions, and a webinar with live polling focused on providing the FDA and other stakeholders with patient views on key issues such as:
– Burden of the condition (physical, emotional, financial issues) impacting the daily health-related quality of life;
– Assessments of current and potential future treatments;
– Benefits that patients with chemotherapy-induced hearing loss are looking for in treatments and the risks they are willing to assume in return for more advanced interventions;
– Participation in clinical trials and ideas on trial design to make them more appealing to people with chemotherapy-induced hearing loss.
