Case studies of successful PAO engagements and best practices for these partnerships will be discussed.

Learning Objectives

Identify patient advocacy organizations (PAOs) with high-quality resources and expertise to contribute to the success of your therapeutic development program; Compare the process of working with PAOs to working with traditional CROs and academic partners; Create efficiencies in your pipeline by building positive relationships with PAOs early and throughout the development of your programs.
