Advanced cancers pose a dilemma between evidentiary requirements and speedy access to innovative agents. We present the results of a survey with regulators and discuss factors that influence acceptability of real-world data and possible optimal submission strategies.
Learning Objective : Describe the challenges of drug development with evidence using external controls; Discuss regulators’ attitudes about real-world evidence and opportunities for addressing the challenges; Identify strategies using real-world evidence to maximize impact on the regulatory decision.
