How can we advance fair and ethical reimbursement for patients?

The Parexel Podcast

In this podcast, Parexel Vice President of Patient Engagement Rosamund Round leads a discussion on practical challenges and regulatory considerations for patient reimbursement programs in clinical trials. Elizabeth Barksdale, Director of Regulatory Affairs and Scientific Policy for LUNGevity Foundation, a non-profit lung cancer advocacy group, and Luke Gelinas, Senior IRB Chair Director for the global clinical research compliance organization Advarra, advocate for a new framework that fully reimburses patients for travel and compensates them for an additional tier of “soft” costs that will positively impact many patients’ ability to join or remain in a clinical trial, and improve health equity.
