II. Public Meeting Information A. Purpose and Scope of the Meeting As part of Patient-Focused Drug Development, FDA will obtain patient and patient stakeholder input on symptoms of pulmonary arterial hypertension that matter most to patients and on current approaches to treating pulmonary arterial hypertension. Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a rare, progressive condition that affects the heart and lungs. It is characterized by abnormally high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery and may be accompanied by shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, dizziness, fainting, lightheadedness, and swollen ankles and legs. There are several treatment options for pulmonary arterial hypertension, including medications, surgery, and lifestyle changes. The questions that will be asked of patients and patient stakeholders at the meeting are listed in this section, organized by topic. For each topic, a brief patient panel discussion will begin the dialogue, followed by a facilitated discussion inviting comments from other patient and patient stakeholder participants. In addition to input generated through this public meeting, FDA is interested in receiving patient input addressing these questions through written comments that can be submitted to the public docket (see ADDRESSES). mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Topic 1: Disease Symptoms and Daily Impacts That Matter Most to Patients 1. Of all the symptoms that you experience because of your condition, which one to three symptoms have the most significant impact on your life? (Examples may include symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, difficulty concentrating, and others.) 2. Are there specific activities that are important to you but that you cannot do at all or as fully as you would like because of your condition? (Examples may include activities such as household chores, walking up the stairs.) • How do your symptoms and their negative impacts affect your daily life on the best days? On the worst days? 3. How have your condition and its symptoms changed over time? VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:17 Feb 06, 2014 Jkt 232001 Topic 2: Patients’ Perspectives on Current Approaches to Treating Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension 1. What are you currently doing to help treat your condition or its symptoms? (Examples may include prescription medicines, over-thecounter products, other therapies including non-drug therapies such as diet modification.) • How has your treatment regimen changed over time, and why? • How well does your current treatment regimen treat the most significant symptoms of your disease? • Have the medications for pulmonary arterial hypertension made a difference to you? If so, in what ways? 2. What are the most significant downsides to your current treatments, and how do they affect your daily life? (Examples may include downsides such as bothersome side effects, going to the hospital for treatment, and others.) 3. Assuming there is no complete cure for your condition, what specific things would you look for in an ideal treatment for your condition? Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Dated: January 30, 2014.
