Patient Advocacy

Drug Development Professionals’ Patient Advocacy consulting services are designed to facilitate Patient Focused Drug Development (PFDD) by helping companies design processes that ensure patients’ needs and perspectives are at the forefront of every decision. Here’s how we make a difference:

Patient Advocacy Strategy Development

We craft advocacy strategies tailored to empower patients and foster meaningful collaboration. Our approach integrates patient insights into every stage of product development, including feasibility of clinical trials, assessment of patient reported outcomes (PROs) and endpoints, recruitment & retention tactics, and commercialization efforts.

Stakeholder Mapping & Collaboration

We connect you with Patient Advocacy Groups (PAGs), patients and caregivers to create partnerships built on trust and transparency. We conduct comprehensive landscape assessments of PAGs, highlighting their priorities and the composition of their Scientific Advisory Boards, including Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), to inform strategic engagement.

Patient Engagement, Education, & Social Media Solutions

We create and execute initiatives that amplify patient voices, crafting educational materials to enhance understanding of therapeutic options, and developing targeted social media programs to effectively engage patient communities.

Regulatory & Compliance Support

We establish frameworks for including patient experiences in regulatory interactions, enhancing the relevance and impact of submissions. We also provide guidance on conducting compliant engagements with patients, caregivers, and PAGs, ensuring that your policies align with global standards for patient engagement and privacy. 

Insights Analysis & Evaluation

We help you collect and analyze patient experiences to drive informed decision-making. We develop metrics to monitor outreach efforts and evaluate the impact of initiatives, ensuring alignment with industry best practices.

Sponsorship & Grant Strategies & Processes

We assist companies in developing strategic frameworks and efficient processes for funding. By leveraging our expertise, we help ensure that your contributions are impactful, transparent, and aligned with both corporate objectives and patient community needs.

Training & Education Programs

Empower your team with the tools and knowledge needed to prioritize patients and learn from patients directly. We offer customized workshops and resources to help your organization adopt a patient-centric approach.

At DDP, we aim to prioritize patient perspectives and ensure that solutions effectively address the needs of patients.
