Real World Evidence

Generate impactful Real World Evidence to meet regulators, payers, providers and patients’ needs

Real world evidence (RWE) has become increasingly important in healthcare decision-making in the Asia Pacific region. It is being used more frequently in published scientific evidence, regulatory approvals, as well as pricing and reimbursement decisions.

Answer crucial clinical, regulatory and commercial questions with Real World Evidence approaches

Real world data (RWD) and RWE refer to any relevant patient-level data not collected through a typical, most often randomized, clinical trial (RCT). Clinical trials are usually designed to prove whether a medicine or treatment works under specific conditions and as such have a large number of inclusion and exclusion criteria. This limits the number of patients eligible for the clinical trial and the generalizability of the trial’s results to the other patients with the disease of interest.

RWE adds perspective to RCT results by offering a granular view of the patient journey and treatment experience in the real world. These observations can be gathered from a variety of non-interventional sources, including data from routine hospital or doctor visits, patient registries, claims reports, connected devices, prescription data, observational studies, and other primary and secondary patient-level data.
