What is a Community Advisory Board (CAB)?

Patient Community Advisory Boards (CABs) are groups established and operated by patient advocates. They facilitate discussions on the latest developments and challenges related to medical research and procedures in your disease area with the company or body conducting the research.A CAB is a group of patients who offer their expertise to sponsors of clinical research.

Does there need to be a CAB in my disease area?

For most of history, medical science has evolved with little to no input from the people being studied. CABs change that, and help to design, carry out and communicate on studies that are more rational and inclusive from a patient’s point of view. By doing so, a bond of trust between the patient and scientific community is formed. THE ADDED VALUE

Who are CAB members?

CAB members are people living with the specific condition, a close family member or carer, and/or a member of a patient organisation that works with the disease.
