Patient Advisory Panels

Patient Advisory Panels

Real-World Insights to Optimize Your Study

Patient input is critical to the success of celiac disease clinical trials. Our Patient Advisory Panels, powered by the iQualifyCeliac™ platform and supported by the iCureCeliac® registry, provide sponsors and CROs with authentic, actionable insights from patients who live with celiac disease every day.

By integrating patient perspectives early in protocol development, you reduce barriers to enrollment, improve retention, and design studies that reflect the real-world needs of the celiac community.

Why Patient Advisory Panels Matter

Too often, clinical trial protocols are developed without input from the very people who will participate. This can lead to unnecessary burdens, lower enrollment, and higher dropout rates. Patient Advisory Panels (sometimes known as Boards) solve this problem by providing structured, expert-facilitated feedback from verified celiac patients before and during your study.

What We Provide

  • Protocol Review & Feedback – Patients review proposed study designs, visit schedules, and procedures to highlight potential barriers and suggest improvements.
  • Cultural & Regional Perspectives – Panels can be convened globally, ensuring input from diverse populations and alignment with expectations across the FDA (US), EMA (Europe), TGA (Australia), and national health authorities throughout Latin America.
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) – Guidance on language, usability, and relevance of PRO instruments to ensure meaningful and reliable data collection.
  • Recruitment & Retention Strategies – Insights into what motivates participation, how to improve outreach, and which support tools can keep patients engaged.

How Panels Work

  • Verified Recruitment – Panelists are drawn from the iCureCeliac registry and engaged via iQualifyCeliac to ensure authenticity and eligibility.
  • Sponsor-Aligned Selection – Panelists are chosen based on your study’s inclusion/exclusion criteria, Celiac Symptoms Index (CSI) scores, and other protocol-specific factors.
  • Expert Facilitation & Training – Panelists are trained by our team to engage constructively and provide meaningful feedback, ensuring sessions deliver actionable insights.
  • Flexible Formats – Panels can be convened virtually or in person, depending on study needs and patient accessibility.
  • Sponsor Participation – Sponsors may attend sessions live on camera/microphone or observe anonymously, with full feedback and recommendations provided.
  • Ongoing Availability – Panelists can be re-engaged for follow-up studies, additional questions, or long-term advisory input, ensuring continuity and depth of insights.
  • Actionable Reporting – Sponsors receive structured reports summarizing patient feedback, key insights, and practical recommendations.

 

The iRecruitCeliac Advantage

Unlike generic patient focus groups, our panels are built exclusively for celiac disease studies and backed by decades of advocacy, scientific expertise, and trusted patient relationships worldwide. By combining lived experience with research insight, we help you design studies that panelists want to join and stay in.

Build Patient-Centered Trials That Succeed

Panelist voices are essential to successful celiac disease drug development. With Patient Advisory Panels, you gain real-world insights that make your study more inclusive, feasible, and efficient—while strengthening trust with the celiac community.
