Beating Cancer with Highly Innovative Technologies – What’s the role of RWE?

Under the EU Health Technology Assessment Regulation (HTAR), oncology products and Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products will be the first to undergo Joint Clinical Assessments, starting in January 2025. As there is often a paucity of clinical evidence available for these highly innovative treatments, the 2023 RWE4Decisions webinar series will consider the potential for use of RWD, given there is no EU-wide guidance on RWE generation or use.

Join us on 18 April for the first webinar on using RWE to demonstrate the value of cancer treatments. A keynote address will outline the EU policy context in terms of the Beating Cancer Plan. A panel including policy, clinical, patient, industry and HTA experts will then discuss the opportunities and challenges of RWE generation for cancer treatments in the EU in light of other policy developments such as the European Health Data Space and the HTAR.
