[Patient Empowerment Alliance (updated March 2023):]

The Patient Empowerment Alliance (P.E.A.) elevates the patient voice to empower patients as core members of their care team. Through the GSK Supported Studies program, the P.E.A. supports evidence-based research that has a measurable impact on patient care outcomes, enabling approaches that target the patient experience in oncology.

Patient Experience and Engagement
•Leverage novel techniques, tools and clinical approaches to empower patients as core members of their care team via patient engagement, provider engagement and shared decision making at key inflection points of the patient journey (i.e., prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care, end of life care and survivorship). Proposals with a focus on at-risk and underserved populations will be given priority.

Care Coordination
•Leverage novel, patient-centered techniques, tools, support, education (i.e., measuring quality of patient interactions with their care team, impact of information shared) and clinical approaches. The goal is to support patients and caregivers, helping them navigate the complexity of care coordination at disease diagnosis and treatment. Proposals with a focus on at-risk and underserved populations will be given priority.


Patient Literacy
•Develop content, tools, channels and interventions to expand patient literacy and disease understanding, providing trusted and validated information (i.e., interpreting disease and treatment information received, community-based engagement), from disease prevention to diagnosis, through to survivorship or end-of-life care, supporting patients to empower them in making good treatment and care decisions. Proposals with a focus on at-risk and underserved populations will be given priority.

Disease areas of focus for GSK’s Patient Empowerment Alliance are:
•Multiple myeloma
•1L+ ovarian cancer
•Lung cancer (added for 2022)
•Endometrial cancer (added for 2022)
•Myelofibrosis
