Background and Objectives Workshop Topics and Flow Workshop One (September 19-20, 2017) focused on Randomized, controlled clinical trials (RCTs) have how to align incentives to support collection and use traditionally served as the gold standard for evidence of real-world evidence in health product review, generation in support of medical product development and payment, and delivery. Incentives need to address approval. However, it is increasingly recognized that barriers impeding the uptake of real-world evidence, RCTs have inherent limitations, particularly with regard to including barriers to transparency. generalizability, and time and monetary investment. Data Workshop Two (March 6-7, 2018) will be a “town- from sources supplemental to RCTs, such as safety hall” style meeting to illuminate what types of data are surveillance, observational studies, registries, claims, or appropriate for what specific purposes and suggest patient-centered outcomes research, would be valuable to approaches for data collection and evidence use by support biomedical research, including medical product developing and working through example use cases. development and evaluation. Workshop Three (July 17-18, 2018) will examine and suggest approaches for operationalizing the This three-part workshop series will provide a format for collection and use of real-world evidence. examining the practicalities of collection of data from such real-world sources and deriving real-world evidence for the evaluation of medical products, including drugs, Planning Committee biologics, and devices.

Examining the Impact of Real-World Evidence on Medical Product Development: A Three-Part Workshop Series Workshop Two: Practical Approaches March 6–7, 2018 National Academy of Sciences Building, Room 120 2101 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20418 The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (National Academies) is convening a three-part workshop series examining how real-world evidence development and uptake can enhance medical product development and evaluation. The workshops will advance discussions and common knowledge about complex issues relating to the generation and utilization of real-world evidence, including fostering development and implementation of the science and technology of real-world evidence generation and utilization. Workshop One (September 19-20, 2017) focused on how to align incentives to support collection and use of real-world evidence in health product review, payment, and delivery. Incentives need to address barriers impeding the uptake of real-world evidence, including barriers to transparency. Workshop Two (March 6-7, 2018) will illuminate what types of data are appropriate for what specific purposes and suggest practical approaches for data collection and evidence use by developing and working through example use cases. Workshop Three (July 17-18, 2018) will examine and suggest approaches for operationalizing the collection and use of real-world evidence. DAY 1: March 6, 2018 8:30 a.m. Breakfast Available Outside the Room 120 8:40 a.m. Welcome and Opening Remarks GREG SIMON, Workshop Series Co-Chair Investigator Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute SESSION I: WHEN CAN WE RELY ON REAL-WORLD DATA? Session discussion questions: When can we have confidence in EHR data from real-world practice to accurately assess study eligibility, key prognostic factors, and study outcomes? When can we have confidence in data generated outside of clinical settings (e.g., mobile phones, connected glucometers, connected blood pressure monitors)? When does adjudication or other post-processing of real-world data add value? Moderator: Greg Daniel, Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy Session Discussants JESSE BERLIN Vice President and Global Head, Epidemiology Johnson & Johnson ANDY BINDMAN Professor of Medicine University of California San Francisco ADRIAN HERNANDEZ Vice Dean for Clinical Research Duke University School of Medicine 9:00 a.m. Introduction and background to inform the discussion: Novel oral anticoagulants in comparison with warfarin 9:20 a.m. Open discussion with audience What questions can characterize the utility of any real-world data source and signal reliability before a study is performed (examples below)? o When is accuracy good enough to reasonably and consistently identify the right population? o When is accuracy good enough to reasonably and consistently assess the exposure or intervention? o When is accuracy good enough to reasonably and consistently assess the right outcome? o Are there any big safety issues that would be missed? o Are there concerns about data collection or entry, particularly in relation to creating systemic bias? o When is expert adjudication necessary to confirm that the recorded data is reliable and/or reasonably complete? What information is needed to answer such questions? 10:40 a.m. BREAK (Workgroup participants gather to synthesize audience feedback) 11:00 a.m. Workgroup presents synthesis of audience feedback SESSION II: WHEN CAN WE RELY ON REAL-WORLD TREATMENT? Session discussion questions: When conducting research in a real-world setting, are there situations that would require special guidance, knowledge, or experience in order for clinicians to adequately monitor participant safety and respond appropriately to adverse events? When does variation between comparison groups (socioeconomic, demographic, etc.); in treatment fidelity; in provider behavior and preferences; or in adherence yield a valid signal about real-world effectiveness, and when is it just noise?
