Level: Intermediate
CE: ACPE 1.00 Knowledge UAN: 0286-0000-25-512-L04-P; CME 1.00; RN 1.00

Opportunities and challenges for using RWE from the perspective of drug development, regulatory considerations, health technology assessments, clinician and patients will be discussed, including new collaborations between regulators and HTA.

Learning Objectives

Describe how RWE is being used through the medicinal product lifecycle by showing relevant examples; Evaluate the utility of RWE for benchmarking disease progress and/or to use as an external comparator; Explain the extent to which HTA and regulators collaborate on RW requirements.

CE: ACPE 1.00 Knowledge UAN: 0286-0000-25-527-L04-P; CME 1.00; RN 1.00

This forum will present: Health Authority (HA) expectations related to QbD, RBQM, and issue management. Specific examples of how study teams use technology to overcome challenges in achieving QbD and effective RBQM and issue management practices.

Learning Objectives

Discuss Health Authority (HA) expectations when designing and executing clinical studies, specifically for using risk proportionate approaches in Quality by Design (QbD), Risk Based Quality Management (RBQM) and issue management practices; Describe real life examples of technologies that facilitate the achievement of HA expectations for QbD, RBQM, and issue management.

This session will discuss regulatory guidance and frameworks on data quality and feasibility assessments of RWD sources to support RWE study proposals for health authority and HTA engagements. It will include information about how to leverage diverse sources of targeted RWD to support and improve the evolution of new therapies and indications for product safety, outcomes, reduction in label use, and help HC professionals and industry to create a knowledge base for use of RWD.

Learning Objectives

Examine the challenges and value of real-world data (RWD) in regulatory decision-making; Discuss the guidance on data quality and feasibility of RWD for real-world evidence (RWE) studies in health authority interactions; Recognize strategies to integrate RWD into dossier data for regulatory alignment; Identify challenges in standardizing data collection and sharing across industry, regulators, and academia for global acceptance.

Internal solutions for translation between regulatory frameworks to assure right use of control vocabularies to exchange data as structured components of submissions to Health Authorities, CMOs, CROs. Controlled vocabularies, ontologies. Presentation of AstraZeneca core data model to enable translation and mapping for data integration. Define use case for data exchange (with data products TLFs for CMC, iterative submissions by piloting the future representing data). vocabularies and business rules to enable data exchange. How everything connects to each Semantic Model Patient Centric vs. Study Centric for reuse scenarios - Amgen will present PQI Standards to build a regulatory filing. Map different regulatory standards frameworks to enable translation between frameworks (e.g., EMA and FDA) into messaging standards like HL7 FHIR. Reference Global Standard benefits (ICH M4Q, Q12, SPQS, IDMP and GSRS). A call for a solution – Interoperability as a Plan – open sources and sharing the standards – What would Dom do? Exchanging structured data everyone is using the same viewer in the Amgen use case. Regulatory Authorities and Industry must collaborate on solutions for development and application of standards to data. Platforms like Accumulus[2] to present the CMC data and translate from one set of standards to another for access for information. Finally we will discuss Digitial Equity and Transparency - one set of data, exposed in a variable output to HAs, supporting critical operations from source whilst maintaining the Digitial nature of data.

Learning Objectives

Analyze how regulatory digital data from divergent sources must meet varying ICH and Regulatory Authority standards; Identify gaps in applying external regulatory standards to internal industry data; Examine specific examples of gaps, such as enhanced granularity and differing regulatory frameworks (e.g., IDMP, XEVMPD, GSRS); Discuss AI and RWD Dimensions of interoperability.
