Seeking with Severe Asthma for a US Patient Advisory Board
Posted 3/16/23
The Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation (CISCRP), an independent non-profit organization, together with a pharmaceutical company, is planning a virtual patient advisory board among individuals (18-70 years old) diagnosed with severe asthma. This virtual patient advisory board will provide an opportunity for those with severe asthma to share their experiences living with this condition, their views on what they would like an ideal treatment to address, what outcomes would be most meaningful, as well as share thoughts on a proposed clinical trial for this condition. The goal of the advisory board is not to recruit for a clinical trial, but rather to learn from patients how to best create a clinical trial that addresses the unique needs of individuals with this condition.
This virtual patient advisory board would take place in May 2023 (exact date/time TBD). The meeting will be conducted virtually using an online platform (Zoom) as 2, 2-hour meetings. As a thank you for your time, CISCRP will provide an honorarium to those who are eligible and participate.
If you are interested in participating in this opportunity or have any additional questions, please contact Kaitlin Gossart at kgossart@ciscrp.org.

Adults with FPIES
Note: While this page intended to display opportunities for those with eosinophil-associated disease, we occasionally post opportunities from research collaborators where there may be overlaps with patient populations.
Researchers from the Division of Allergy at the University of Rochester, Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone, Texas Children Hospital, Boston Children’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, in collaboration with International FPIES Association (I-FPIES, fpies.org), invite you to complete an online questionnaire to better characterize the experience of adults with FPIES. Your answers will help the medical community to better understand your experience with adult FPIES and other adults affected by this disease. If you are interested in participating in this study, please answer the interactive questionnaire. There is an information letter that describes the study in more detail once you start the survey.

EGPA Patients
Posted 1/17/23
Through living with conditions and/or engaging with health and social services patients, patients become experts by experience. By involving patients in decisions about their health and care, clinicians can improve health and wellbeing, improve the quality of care, and ensure people make informed use of available healthcare resources. Therefore the patient journey is an integral part of EGPA management.
Iridium Continuing Education is looking for an EGPA patient to share their perspective on the diagnosis and management from their first symptom through the continuum of care. This patient will share their experience in a patient journey video, aiming to bring awareness of the patient journey to clinicians. This educational activity is supported by an educational grant from GSK. An honorarium will be provided to the patient selected. Please contact arossi@iridiumce.com if you are interested in sharing your story.
