(e.g. manage the lack or regulations on
RWD)
Real World Data
ƒ Definition
– data used for decision making that are not
collected in conventional randomized controlled
trials (RCTs).
ƒ RWD could be characterized by:
– type of outcome (clinical, economic and
patient-reported);
– hierarchies of evidence (which rank evidence
according to the strength of research design);
– type of data source

Outcomes Research
ƒ Research addressed to evaluate “what comes
out”
ƒ after an health care intervention
ƒ using measures useful for Patients and/or
for Decision Makers
“Outcome Research - the study of the end results of health services that takes
patients’ experiences, preferences, and values into account - is intended to
provide scientific evidence relating to decisions made by all who participate in
health care”

Real World Data = Real
World Evidence ?
– “Data” conjures the idea of simple factual information,
whereas “evidence” connotes the organization of the
information to inform a conclusion or judgment.
– “Evidence” is generated according to a research plan
and interpreted accordingly, whereas “data” is but one
component of the research plan.
– “Evidence” is shaped, while “data” simply are raw
materials and alone are non informative.
ƒ In general, “real world evidence” is what happens
to “real world data”

ƒ Real-World Data can also be categorized by

Observational
Methods
1. Databases: These include cross-sectional and longitudinal
databases which essentially provide retrospective data.
2. Patient chart reviews: Used to reflect particular insights in
patient management.
3. Patient and population surveys: Primarily for
epidemiological information.
4. Registries: patients treated at a particular centre for a
particular condition on a continuous basis.
5. Cohort studies: What most people would understand by real
life studies.
6. Pragmatic clinical trials: Whether these are strictly “real-life”
studies is open to debate

Registries
Registries are observational
studies of patients who have a
particular disease and/or are
receiving a particular treatment
or intervention.
They can be used for
understanding natural history,
assessing or monitoring realworld safety and
effectiveness, assessing
quality of care and provider
performance, and determining
value or reimbursement levels

non è necessario qualora:
1. non sia possibile informare l’interessato per motivi

organizzativa;
2. il programma di ricerca sia stato oggetto di parere
favorevole del competente Comitato di Etica;
3. il trattamento sia autorizzato dal Garante

Conclusions
Benefits of
Real World Data
ƒ Estimate long-term clinical benefits and harms
ƒ Compare multiple interventions to inform optimal therapy
choices
ƒ Insight in dosing of drugs, duration and compliance
ƒ Examine outcomes in diverse populations
ƒ Demonstrate full value of a product, broader range of
outcomes (incl. compliance, safety, QoL)
ƒ Data on resource use for economic analyses
ƒ Provide evidence to public payers that product is being used
in the intended target population
ƒ Data if no RCT possible

Real World Evidence
For the life-science industry, the current regulatory and payer
developments in Europe will have an important impact on the current
form of drug development
We are likely to see a continuous generation of RWE throughout the
entire life cycle of new health technologies
Patrik Sobocki (2013) ISPOR CONNECTIONS - V .19 N. 5 (pp 10-11)
Real World Evidence
ƒ Building the Evidence requires the
systematic unbiased collection of data
ƒ The validity of the Evidence is
dependent on
– the accuracy of the data
– and the appropriate organization to allow
interpretation, analysis and conclusions
ƒ Î Transparency
Quoted by: A.M. Pleil, Senior Director Worldwide Medical and Outcomes Research - Pfizer
in «Using Real World Data in Pharmacoeconomic Evaluations: Challenges, Opportunities
and Approaches”
Pending Issues
ƒ Huge heterogeneity in terms and definitions
ƒ Different approaches and methodological
standards
ƒ Lack of Regulations
– Guidance is more dispersed, with many professional
bodies producing guidance on aspects relevant to
their respective disciplines (eg. EMA vs ISPOR vs
ENCePP)
