Data from routine care rather than clinical trials, used to check whether results hold outside the trial population.
Real-world evidence is data drawn from routine care rather than from clinical trials, used to check whether trial results hold in the broader population. Sources include the Flatiron and Foundation Medicine clinico-genomic database, Tempus, registries and claims. It is used to build external control arms, support label expansions and detect under-performance in patients who are older or sicker than those trials enrolled. The term is linked to OMOP common data model and OHDSI, to Digital twins and virtual control arms and Systematic drug repurposing, to the AACR Project GENIE collection and to Karolinska University Hospital and UNICANCER, and it features in the bottlenecks on trial design and cost, data silos and weak real-world evidence and registries.
