The growing role of Real-World Evidence (RWE) in the regulatory landscape is reshaping how drug safety and efficacy are assessed. This session will explore the strategic integration of RWE in regulatory submissions and post-marketing commitments, focusing on case studies and success stories that demonstrate successful utilization of RWE across various stages of the drug development lifecycle. Speakers will discuss the practical implications of the FDA's guidance, “Real-World Data: Assessing Electronic Health Records and Medical Claims Data to Support Regulatory Decision-Making for Drug and Biological Products.” Emphasis will be on best practices for utilizing EHRs and claims data. The session also addresses RWE’s role in pharmacovigilance, enhancing drug safety monitoring and proactive risk management.
Learning Objective : - Understand key considerations for using RWE in regulatory submissions, including best practices for data quality, integrity, and alignment with regulatory standards
- Apply insights from FDA’s latest guidance on EHRs and medical claims data to boost compliance and RWE’s value in regulatory decision-making
