Panelists discuss how RWE helps guide sequencing choices when head-to-head trial data are lacking in third-line metastatic colorectal cancer.
Panelists explain that in the absence of head-to-head trial data, real-world evidence (RWE) becomes crucial in guiding sequencing decisions between agents such as trifluridine/tipiracil, fruquintinib, and regorafenib.
They highlight how RWE provides insights into treatment outcomes across broader and more diverse patient populations than those typically seen in clinical trials.
This information allows clinicians to refine sequencing strategies, especially when balancing efficacy and tolerability for patients in later-line settings.
Managed Care Reflections: A Q&A With A. Mark Fendrick, MD, and Michael E. Chernew, PhD
December 2nd 2025To mark the 30th anniversary of The American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC), each issue in 2025 includes a special feature: reflections from a thought leader on what has changed—and what has not—over the past 3 decades and what’s next for managed care. The December issue features a conversation with AJMC Co–Editors in Chief A. Mark Fendrick, MD, director of the Center for Value-Based Insurance Design and a professor at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor; and Michael E. Chernew, PhD, the Leonard D. Schaeffer Professor of Health Care Policy and the director of the Healthcare Markets and Regulation Lab at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts.
