Webinar
ATMPs & Patient Awareness
Learn about patient’s awareness for ATMPs and challenges in evidence generation. Our experts discuss the most recent evidence on patient’s and public perspectives, barriers to engagement and evaluation of patients’ experience.
ATMPs offer new therapeutic opportunities. Nevertheless, patients’ understanding and acceptance of gene and cell treatments vary primarily among patients with clinical and demographic characteristics, personal beliefs and cultural factors contributing to patients’ and public perceived risks and benefits. Thus, there are complex research and social issues to consider when conducting research and enhancing patient engagement.
