Bray Patrick-Lake, M.F.S., supports efforts to actively engage participant partners in Duke University’s research programs, as well as patient advocacy organizations and other stakeholders in Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative (CTTI) efforts to improve clinical trials. She implements strategies to enhance awareness of Duke’s Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) and CTTI’s work, particularly with patient advocates, and extend its impact by working in partnership with the patient advocacy community on research design and conduct and improvement of the clinical trial enterprise.
In 2010, Ms. Patrick-Lake founded the Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Research Foundation in response to the lack of definitive scientific information regarding the condition of PFO after being a patient in an aborted clinical trial. Ms. Patrick-Lake has served as a patient representative at the FDA on a variety of advisory committees and panels, in workgroups for EMA and NIH, as a guest lecturer and an external reviewer for IOM, and as a patient stakeholder or co-investigator for Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute grants.
She is a member of the PCORnet Coordinating Center's Executive Leadership Committee where she develops patient engagement strategies, MDEpiNet’s National Medical Device Registry Task Force, the Medical Device Innovation Consortium’s Patient-centered Benefit-Risk Steering Committee, American College of Cardiology (ACC) Foundation's Patient-centered Care Shared Decision Making Workgroup, Develop, Innovate, Advance's Patient Fellowship Selection Committee, ACC Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry Stakeholder Advisory Committee, and is a board member for the Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy.
