Balancing Hard and Soft Data Endpoints in Clinical Trials

  • Patient-reported outcomes (PRO), are becoming more prevalent in trials, often collected by a phone App
  • While PRO can increase subject engagement, these data are subjective and cannot support regulatory approval alone
  • By understanding the relationships between objective and subjective data endpoints (cortisol level to stress, glucose to Oxygen levels to activity, etc.), trial designers can balance “hard” and “soft” data points.
  • These can be collected, analyzed, and presented to regulatory bodies so that data streams support one another, increasing likelihood of regulatory approval for the product.
