Jeff Allen: How Can Real-World Data Be Used To Measure Treatment Response Rates?

Jeff Allen, President and CEO of Friends of Cancer Research, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“NEW PUBLICATION – Results from our latest Real-World Evidence Pilot demonstrate how treatment response rate can be measured using real-world data.

Data obtained from clinical practice, or real-world data (RWD), can provide valuable insights about treatment outcomes – particularly for patient populations not fully represented in prior clinical studies or for exploring potential other uses for new medicines. However, use of RWD as a research tool can require different methods and study considerations.

In our new study published in JCO CCI, we show that different sources of data can be used to implement a common approach and consistently evaluate response rates. This aligned method and reproducibility in results show that rwResponse can be a valuable metric to assess treatment effectiveness outside of traditional clinical trials.
