Pragmatic trials want to use the progression dates recorded in ordinary clinic notes instead of expensive protocol scans. Checking how well those routine records match formal trial measurements would show when that shortcut is safe.
Paired studies in which patients enrolled in conventional trials also have their routine clinical progression (rwPFS from clinician notes and imaging reports, abstracted or NLP-derived) captured, quantifying agreement in progression dates and hazard ratios by tumour type. Regulators publish acceptable-use conditions for rwPFS and time-to-next-treatment as endpoints in pragmatic and registry-based trials.
