Real-world data (RWD) is increasingly being used to facilitate and enhance clinical research in oncology. Opportunities for using RWD in oncology trials include assessing protocol feasibility by overlaying trial eligibility criteria onto a RWD source, identifying patients from RWD sources for inclusion in external control arms, and using RWD to augment data collection in long-term follow-up studies following gene therapy trials. However, it is easy to underestimate the challenges that arise in implementation.
This session will discuss the opportunities and challenges for RWD in oncology trials. Attendees will:
The session will end with a live open question and answer discussion.
