Exit interviews
Exit interviews are in-depth qualitative interviews with individuals, conducted at the end, or soon after the end, of a clinical trial to obtain direct feedback on their experiences over the course of the clinical trial

Exit interviews can provide a rich source of information about the individual’s experience and can be highly informative in understanding the true value of study medication or treatment.
- Offer comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of study medication or treatment on
the individual – symptoms, feelings, functioning - Explore the impact of any side-effects and overall balance with treatment benefits
- Understand the true value and impact of any changes in health status experienced, for example What has changed? How has it changed? What does this mean to the patient?
Why is this useful?
Such information captures the patient voice and it supports value messages for key stakeholders:
- Regulatory
- Clinical
- Payer
- Patients
The patient voice - the knowledge gained from this -is increasingly being required by regulators to support a comprehensive evaluation of meaningful change thresholds.
