RESUMEN
The extraction of data that contribute to regulatory approval from real-world data (RWD) is difficult because of the lack of a standardized data format and extraction methodology. Additionally, when real-world evidence (RWE) is used as an external control group, the similarity between internal and external control data is not evaluated. To investigate the data extraction methodology for the external control data of rare molecular subtypes, we have initiated the "REALISE" study. In this study, we aim to elucidate the "relevance" and "reliability" of RWD/RWE necessary for regulatory approval. As most databases are not designed for regulatory use in the creation phase, we will investigate retrospective methodologies to ensure RWD/RWE reliability. This study will compare the "relevance" and "reliability" of the ARCAD global database, SCRUM-Japan Registry, SCRUM-Japan observational study, and Flatiron Health RWD, and statistically analyze the differences and similarities among the four databases. We will also examine the methodology for extracting sufficiently relevant data from the SCRUM-Japan observational study. Additionally, if the reliability of the RWD/RWE does not reach the required level for regulatory approval, we will examine the methodologies to ensure the "reliability" of the SCRUM-Japan observational study for regulatory approval. The obtained results will be submitted to the "Consultation for Development of Registry" in the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, and we will discuss the standard methodology. The procedures and findings identified in the REALISE study will be organized from the perspectives of "database construction," "data analysis," and "outcome evaluation" and will be issued as "the draft guidelines."
