Patient Support Programmes

What about Patient Support Programmes?
A Patient Support Programme (PSP) is an organised system, where a Marketing Authorization Holder receives and collects information relating to the use of its medicinal products / medical devices.

Examples are:
✔ post-authorisation programs;
✔ disease management programs;
✔ surveys of patients and healthcare providers;
✔ information gathering on patient compliance;
✔ compensation/ reimbursement schemes.

Here are four key goals of PSPs:
✔ to support patients and help them take their medications as prescribed (compliance / adherence);
✔ to help patients understand their condition and provide advice on managing disease;
✔ to provide a service or financial assistance, or reimbursement support for patients also known as Patient Assistance Programs;
✔ to assess safety / adverse events.

Why PSPs in Russia?
There are 143.5 million people in Russia (according to the Federal State Statistics Service as of August 1, 2013).

Key opportunities for establishing of PSPs in Russia are the following:
✔ A large proportion of patients are "naive", i.e., do not take any drugs or receive any other treatment before they were recruited in a PSP. It means, patient recruitment is much easier and FASTER due to a small number of rejections at the screening stage.
✔ For patients with severe diseases, participation in a PSP can often be a wonderful opportunity to receive comprehensive medical care.
The population is highly educated, which is beneficial for participants' compliance with a PSP Protocol (patient compliance) and reduces the likelihood of loss to follow-up.
A genetic profile of the population and environmental conditions are similar to those in the countries of Europe and North America.
✔ Investigators and clinical research teams are highly qualified. Many research centers / hospitals / clinics succtssfully passed through inspections and Sponsors' audits.
The costs of PSPs in Russia are significantly lower than in the EU, the US, Japan, Australia etc.

Are these obvious advantages compatible with high quality of PSPs?
Yes, see the details below.
