Real world evidence (RWE) is an essential tool for developing effective rare disease treatments. Regulators encourage its use. But a new survey from Syneos Health shows payers need persuading. |
|
Many are unfamiliar with the terminology of RWE and worry about a lack of standards and transparency in single-arm studies and observational trials using RWE. |
|
What should the industry do? In a whitepaper, Syneos Health recommends:
|
|
• |
Collaborative education efforts to boost literacy around RWE uses |
• |
Transparent explanation of study protocols encouraging scientific feedback |
• |
Broad use of expanded access programs to engage rare disease communities and generate longitudinal data |
