Summary
Patient-Focused Impact Assessment Act of 2015 This bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require the package of information published by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) upon approval of a new drug to include documentation of efforts to assess patient engagement. This documentation must include identification of patient-focused drug development tools and an explanation of whether certain information was reviewed or examined, including patient preferences and patient-reported or caregiver-reported outcomes. The FDA must annually summarize the data collected in this documentation. The FDA must publish guidance on collaboration between patients, advocacy organizations, and industry for the purposes of developing patient-focused drug development tools and obtaining patient perspectives on medical products under development.
