Today’s traditional research model relies on incremental innovation that builds upon the shoulders of other researchers’ work, making small but steady strides. Occasionally, leaps are made by researchers who develop new classes of therapy such as stem cell transplant or CAR-T immunotherapy. But cancer patients may not have the luxury to wait 20 years for the traditional scientific process to evolve for their cancer. They can’t wait for a cure.
Flatiron Health and FDA’s Oncology Center of Excellence renewed their collaboration to jointly develop and implement specific research projects to advance the use of real-world data and explore the potential strengths and limitations of using real-world evidence for regulatory purposes. The partnership will specifically evaluate RWD study designs and analytic methods through the collaborative development of priority, clinically meaningful research questions regarding care, treatment, and outcomes of patients with cancer.
