Regulators increasingly want to see the patient voice included to inform drug development, and in-trial patient interviews are one of the most direct ways to capture it. Done well, they transform patient experience into evidence that can support a regulatory submission. This webinar explains how to conduct patient interviews compliantly within a live clinical trial while meeting evidentiary and operational requirements. With the increasing regulatory focus, the question is less often whether to include interviews and more often how to execute them compliantly within a live trial, where evidentiary standards and operational demands must be met simultaneously. An earlier session addressed compliance and provider requirements. This session focuses on operational execution, covering the steps involved in defining interview objectives, project planning, preparation and execution, with a primary focus on operational considerations. Analysis and reporting will also be introduced, with a more detailed discussion reserved for a future session. Across clinical operations, safety, trial management, COA development and strategic trial design, teams are increasingly being asked to incorporate the patient voice. For teams already incorporating interviews into clinical trials or evaluating their use, this session provides a clear operational view of what is required to conduct them compliantly without adding unnecessary trial complexity. The speakers will discuss the importance of embedding interviews directly in the main trial protocol, how to balance and align the timing of the interviews with both objectives and operational realities, how to build an interview guide that is fit for purpose, how to ensure no interviews are
