Abstract: The purpose of this pilot study is to summarize patient preferences and willingness to accept tradeoffs among attributes of medical interventions. The pilot study will help FDA evaluate the feasibility and validity of this approach for providing evidence about patients' preferences and risk tolerance. Specifically, the weight-reduction device case study will elicit trade-off preferences of subjects with self-reported BMI of 30 kg/m2 or above for the most salient features or attributes of weight reduction medical devices. The pilot study information will be used by the FDA to evaluate stated-preference methods as a possible source of evidence about patients' benefit-risk trade-off preferences for devices. FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is evaluating processes to incorporate patient preferences on treatment benefits and risks in its device review process. To obtain such preferences in a systematic and scientifically valid way, CDRH has commissioned this survey to be administered to members of a web panel that is representative of the U.S. population.
