Impact of Real-World Data on Market Authorization, Reimbursement Decision & Price Negotiation

Alfredo Aram Pulini et al.

Summary: Real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) are viewed as complementary to traditional randomized controlled trials (RCT), with potential value in market authorization discussions and price negotiations, but they have methodological limitations. The misuse of terms is common, and the value of these data can vary greatly depending on the characteristics of each product, making them more of a useful rather than indispensable tool.

Emulating Randomized Clinical Trials With Nonrandomized Real-World Evidence Studies First Results From the RCT DUPLICATE Initiative

Jessica M. Franklin et al.

Summary: The study found differences between RCT and corresponding RWE study populations, but showed that selecting active comparator therapies with similar indications and use patterns can enhance the validity of RWE. Despite efforts to closely emulate RCT design, agreement between RCT and RWE findings varied depending on the agreement metric used, indicating the need for further research to understand the frequency and contexts in which RWE findings match RCTs.

Methodological frontiers in vaccine safety: qualifying available evidence for rare events, use of distributed data networks to monitor vaccine safety issues, and monitoring the safety of pregnancy interventions

Caitlin Dodd et al.

Summary: Vaccines undergo rigorous testing in clinical trials, but may not detect rare adverse events or include certain populations like pregnant women. Postmarketing safety assessments are needed using observational data sources, large databases, and distributed networks. Developing common protocols, definitions, and tools for assessing real-world vaccine safety evidence is necessary for future surveillance.

Smart Safety Surveillance (3S): Multi-Country Experience of Implementing the 3S Concepts and Principles

Noha Iessa et al.

Summary: The 3S concept has shown success in enhancing pharmacovigilance activities in Armenia, Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Peru, and Thailand. The implementation of 3S principles resulted in increased ADR reporting, improved report quality, and enhanced capacity for signal detection in the evaluated countries. It is important to monitor the sustainability of the project impact in the future.

Real-world evidence: perspectives on challenges, value, and alignment of regulatory and national health technology assessment data collection requirements

Hannah Sievers et al.

Summary: Experts agree on the potential value of real-world evidence (RWE) in closing evidence gaps by demonstrating the actual value of medicines in patients under real-world conditions. Challenges include differences in perspectives and outcome measures for RWE generation, as well as lack of practical experience with RWD collected through mandatory registries in the German benefit assessment. Harmonizing requirements through common postlicensing evidence generation (PLEG) plans and joint scientific advice can help address conflicting demands for RWD collection and optimize drug development.
