Abstract

Real-world evidence (RWE) is revolutionizing drug safety assessment by drawing insights from diverse data sources that represent real-world clinical practice, healthcare systems, and patient experiences. This paradigm shift challenges the limitations of traditional clinical trials, which occur in controlled environments and may not capture rare adverse events or real-world complexities. RWE harnesses extensive data from sources like electronic health records, claims data, patient registries, social media, and wearable devices, allowing a more authentic perspective on drug safety. The scale and duration of data collection in RWE facilitate the detection of rare adverse events and trends that might be missed in clinical trials. Furthermore, the integration of RWE into drug safety assessment relies on big data and advanced analytics, including machine learning and artificial intelligence. These technologies process vast datasets, identify associations, predict adverse events, and enable real-time monitoring, enhancing drug safety evaluation. In pharmacovigilance and post-market surveillance, RWE complements data from clinical trials, providing comprehensive insights into long-term drug safety and facilitating more efficient adverse event reporting. In the era of precision medicine, RWE helps identify subpopulations vulnerable to adverse events or benefiting more from specific drugs, tailoring treatments to individual patients. However, the use of RWE raises ethical and regulatory challenges related to data privacy, consent, data quality, and bias, necessitating a balance between innovation and patient safety. As RWE continues to expand, it promises to redefine drug safety assessment, benefiting patients, healthcare providers, researchers, and the pharmaceutical industry. Harnessing the potential of RWE is crucial to ensure the development of safe and effective pharmaceuticals in modern healthcare.
