Rebecca Miksad, MD, Senior Medical Director, Flatiron Health
Overview
In response to patient needs, technological advances, regulatory mandates and drug-development pressures, the role of Real-World Evidence (RWE) is rapidly evolving in the United States and around the globe. Real World Data (RWD) about patient outcomes may be particularly important when randomized controlled trials are infeasible, impractical or unethical for specific populations. Multiple stakeholders (regulators, life-science companies, payers, patient advocates, academics, data vendors, health care systems, etc.) are investing to curate rich RWD sources and develop robust RWE methods.
In this webinar, Dr. Rebecca Miksad, Senior Medical Director, Flatiron Health, discussed a recent oncology use case of Electronic Health record (EHR)-derived RWE in the regulatory context. She also recommended key considerations for the effective application of RWE approaches. In addition, Dr. Miksad explored the future landscape of RWE in late clinical drug development. Through examples and discussion, this webinar can help life science business leaders and regulators assess the value (and challenges) of RWE to drive better decisions and better patient care.
