FDA Patient Engagement Advisory Committee Meeting on Patient-Centered Informed Consent

The FDA welcomes participation during the October 30, 2024 Patient Engagement Advisory Committee (PEAC) meeting on patient-centered informed consent in clinical study of FDA-regulated medical products.

Members of the Breast Implant Safety Alliance (BISA) team are planning to attend this meeting. Patient-centered informed consent is an important topic for our advocates. Earlier this summer, members of BISA made a public comment at a related meeting and met with the Federation of American Scientists to help improve FDA Advisory Committees.

According to the FDA, the committee will discuss and make recommendations on patient-centered informed consent in clinical study of FDA-regulated medical products.

The topics for discussion include: 

  • The informed consent process, and

  • Factors to consider when communicating informed consent to clinical study participants to increase the likelihood of participants understanding the key elements of research. 

In addition to attending the meeting, the FDA encourages interested individuals to register to participate in the virtual breakout discussion.


Meeting Date: Wednesday, October 30, 2024, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET 

  • Location: Virtual
