CIOMS was established by WHO and UNESCO in 1949 and brings together national academies of sciences, regulators, industry, patient organizations, and academics to develop guidelines on a wide range of pharmacovigilance, bioethics, and drug development. These guidelines are quietly influential- people may not realize that the original form for reporting adverse drug reactions to regulatory authorities was developed by CIOMS. The most recently published guideline is on “Patient involvement in the development, regulation, and safe use of medicines” and makes recommendations on how to involve patients as partners throughout the lifecycle of a medicine.

In this session, we will provide an overview of the work of CIOMS, discuss briefly the latest guideline followed by a moderated panel discussion including polling, questions, and answers from the audience.

Learning Objectives

Describe what CIOMS is and does; Discuss how to have patients as partners in the development, regulation, and safe use of medicines; Discuss the opportunities and barriers to implementing this in your own organization.
