ICH Events: ICH E22 Patient Preference Studies Webinar

ICH public meetings are organised by ICH Members or Observers across their respective regions. These meetings may be held as ICH-branded regional events or in collaboration with non-profit organisations. In addition, ICH stakeholder engagement events—such as webinars, workshops, and meetings—are conducted to gather early input from industry, patients, and regulators on draft ICH Guidelines.

It focused on presenting and discussing the draft ICH E22 Guideline, which addressed general considerations for patient preference studies used to inform drug development and regulatory submissions. The guideline aims to harmonise patient preference studies through a globally agreed framework, ensuring consistency and scientific robustness across regions.
