15-03-2012 16:33 This panel will consider the context for evidence, rather than the level of evidence, needed to move innovative technology into a clinical setting and how we will generate the needed evidence. Which evidence questions must be answered pre- market and which, if any, can be answered post-market? It will consider the often mismatched evidence requirements of patients, clinicians, test developers, regulators and payers. Collectively, we should define a burden of evidence that's appropriate for the balances of risk and speed that is appropriate in this space. This will require community-wide cooperation to collect and analyze data residing in many different places -- inside pharmaceutical companies, inside diagnostics companies and payers -- to measure outcomes and define the best use of diagnostics, and innovative methodologies to generate evidence (both in process and results).
