Abstract

PPI is a rapidly growing and important global movement. PPI specifically in antimicrobial medicines development research, however, is new and unfamiliar. There is currently a lack of literature and clear practical guidance focusing on PPI in this area (Evans et al., 2017). Given the short-term nature of many microbial infections, there are few established patient support groups or voluntary organisations in the field of infection sciences. In view of the increasing costs of medicines development and the financial consequences of market failure, early incorporation of PPI in research may reduce waste of resources (Geissler et al., 2017).

COMBACTE-MAGNET is a consortium funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative (www.imi.europa.eu) Joint Undertaking and EFPIA (European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Association) companies seeking new ways of treating multi-resistant bacterial infections. As part of its clinical coordinating work package, WP6i, we have developed this toolkit to provide systematic and evidence-based guidance on how and when to involve the public in medicines development research, in particular antimicrobials.
