PSI HTA SIG Webinar: Estimands, PICOs and Co. - Are we losing or gaining in translation?

Over the past years, areas of clinical development and patient access / health technology assessment (HTA) have moved closer together. However, both areas differ in how they approach their respective research or policy questions. While the estimand framework is being the focus in clinical development, HTA is being viewed through the lens of the PICO framework. This webinar brings together Antonio Remiro-Azocar, Robert Hemmings and Nicholas Latimer, who are renowned experts in the respective fields. They will provide an introduction to these three concepts, illustrated with examples.
