We support the development of clinical studies (phases I-IV), including the conceptualization process and the preparation
of documentation to be submitted to bioethics committees and regulatory agencies in Poland (The Office for Registration
of Medicinal Products, Medical Devices and Biocidal Products [URPLWMiPB]) and elsewhere (European Medicines Agency [EMA], Food and Drug Administration [FDA]). We are experienced in different types of studies, including observational studies, patient registries, and patient-reported outcomes.
PMW works with phase I-IV clinical studies and offers consultancy for all stages of study design, including
the engagement of investigators and experts, input from biostatisticians and the preparation of effective study protocols.
Our scientific and industry experience results in a shortened planning phase, a successful submission to authorities
and an efficiently-designed study with the optimal number of patients.
PMW prepares, edits and translates:
Following the EMA’s initiative (as of October 20, 2016) to grant open access to clinical reports for new medicines authorised
for human use in the European Union (EU), PMW prepares, in accordance with the EMA guidelines, the redacted CSR
to be published on the EMA website.
PMW provides simple solutions for maintaining complex patient registries and conducting observational studies, post-marketing studies (PMSs), and post-authorisation safety studies (PASSs), in accordance with GCP guidelines, EMA requirements
and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Moreover, the interactive solutions offered by PMW enable close co-operation between investigators and sponsors, and provide patient management tools that facilitate the day-to-day clinical care of patients.
PMW translates and validates patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures, including quality of life (QoL) measures,
from the original language to the target one, mainly from English into Polish. The Polish versions of QoL questionnaires
are prepared using double translation (forward and backward), according to the guidelines of the International Society
for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR)¹. Alternatively, PMW uses dual translation panels².
PMW also creates original PRO forms and offers validation of newly devised ones.
PMW provides patient feedback questionnaires for:
The PRO measures are used in both traditional and electronic formats in multicentre clinical trials (with centres using different operational languages), observational studies, patient registries, and day-to-day medical practice. At the same time, PMW advises on the selection of appropriate measures for a planned clinical study or supervises the process of creating a new form.
