What is Transportability in RWE?Transportability in Real-World Evidence (RWE) research refers to the ability to extend findings from one study population to a different, but related, population. This concept is critical when evaluating whether treatment effects observed in one geographical region, healthcare system, or patient cohort could be generalized to another population with different demographic,… Continue reading Transportability in Real-World Evidence (RWE) Research: Regulatory Considerations

Challenges in Assessing Drug Exposure in Drug Utilization Studies
Drug utilization studies (DUS) using real-world data (RWD) are essential for understanding how medications are prescribed, dispensed, and used in everyday clinical practice. Unlike clinical trials, which are conducted under controlled conditions, RWD is derived from routine healthcare settings, including electronic health records (EHRs), insurance claims, patient registries, and pharmacy data. These studies provide… Continue reading Challenges in Assessing Drug Exposure in Drug Utilization Studies
