Real-world evidence (RWE) has become increasingly important in proving the value of drugs and differentiating them from their competition. As healthcare payments shift from volume-based to value-based, payers and providers are focused on outcomes, and RWE is the measure of those outcomes.
RWE is not a new concept, but the number and nature of sources of real-world data (RWD) are proliferating. This has expanded the applications of RWE, and made mastering it far more critical to business success. RWE is no longer just a market access tool; it is also key to identifying unmet needs and, in an age of increasingly personalized medicine, in determining which patients will respond to which products. It can help make R&D cheaper, faster, and more accurate.
This evolution is exacerbating existing challenges around RWE, and creating new ones. RWD comes in multiple forms, and from multiple sources, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Turning these multiplying data sources into evidence that can reliably and convincingly inform clinical practice is tricky; however, there has been progress. Regulators are starting to consider where RWE may be used to accelerate access to new drugs, and expand the use of existing ones. RWE’s impact on product sales is growing as these kinds of data are more widely available and understood, and as competition increases in many therapy areas.
RWD generation is now being built into pharma’s offerings as companies start to promote integrated solutions that provide not just a pill or an injection, but an entire adherence and disease-management support system. These data, coming from many individuals more or less continuously, will support optimal treatment usage and inform future therapy development.
