Case study #13: How can Patient and Public Involvement improve the study design of a clinical trial?
Lillie Pakzad-Shahabi, Clinical Trial Coordinator, Neuro-oncology, Department of Medicine, Imperial College London
Why did you decide to do Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in your clinical trial?
After receiving a NIHR Imperial BRC PPI award (Round 3) to run a project with a secondary school, I stumbled across the PERC-ICTU PPI training series at Imperial. These workshops helped me to understand the importance of PPI early in clinical trial design. I decided it would be useful to involve patients from our clinic and their family members to review upcoming clinical trial protocols.
We hoped to gather the perspectives of patients and their family members on our plans for the design of two clinical trials.
