Abstract:

To explore how to incorporate patient's input in regulatory decision making, FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health sponsored the Agency's first patient risk tolerance survey. The purpose of this survey is to elicit the maximum risk tolerance of obese population in exchange for specific level of weight reduction for devices with combinations of attributes such as the safety profiles and diet restrictions. After describing the motivation behind this survey, I will explain the statistical methodology behind the study and discuss the potential role of the result in CDRH's regulatory process.
