Clinical Executive Summary
A clinical executive summary (CES) is a concise document that provides a high-level summary of information regarding a specific product. It presents the most recent, relevant, scientifically accurate and balanced information regarding efficacy, safety, and health economic and outcomes research data. It includes key clinical differentiating factors such as pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data that help with formulary decision-making. It may also provide additional information to supplement the Prescribing Information, such as patient satisfaction and compliance data, post-marketing safety updates, relevant advisory meeting decisions, and healthcare utilization. A standard CES typically includes on-label and published information, unless otherwise requested by the stakeholder. Key sections of the CES include:
- Overview of the product
- Indications and dosing
- Distinguishing characteristics
- Clinical data
- Health economic and outcomes research data
- Safety
