By systematically involving 390 myotonia patients across 18 European countries through the project MYOPATH, admedicum® was instrumental in demonstrating EMA the great need for patient access to Namuscla® (mexiletine). The EMA Committee of Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP) explicitly highlighted the quality of the MYOPATH survey methodology that led to the capture of important information regarding a lack of treatment access resulting in patient harm.

The CDKL5 Research & Family conference, which Philipp was instrumental with in shaping the agenda, was an exceptionally great meeting! I had a chance to talk to many of the families and I know they appreciated these days and loved how much opportunity they had to participate and tell their stories and help shape the field and advance it. This was truly the first patient-centric meeting I’ve ever attended, and that was very much thanks to Philipp‘s vision.
Undisclosed pharma participant on the same conference: „You and Carol-Anne organized the best disease-focused family meeting I ever attended. The interaction and co-collaboration amongst all constituents was extremely beneficial to everyone in attendance. I especially appreciated hearing directly from the caregivers their needs and wants for clinical trials and new medications.“

Rachel interacts with patients and their families with both tact and ease, ensuring that we end up with networks of people engaged and wanting to be involved. She has an ability that I think is rare to find: naturally picking up on peoples non-verbal as well as verbal meanings very quickly.

The healthcare system of the future sees the patient at the center of events. It talks to patients and not about patients, involving them in a meaningful way when developing new treatments. Communication is open and transparent, and there is joint decision-making with all stakeholders. In tomorrow’s healthcare system, trust and mutual respect are key elements, while any conflicting interests that may arise are honestly declared.
admedicum recently attended the HTAi 2019 meeting in Cologne, Germany entitled, “HTA beyond 2020: Ready for the New Decade?” At admedicum, we believe patient involvement in HTA is crucial for making the right decisions because health technology is FOR THE PATIENTS. We took the opportunity of other stakeholders being in Cologne to co-host a PEGASUS NetworkingEvent to discuss the same topic as this blog with a group of diverse stakeholders including patient-representatives from several different disease-areas.
