Panelists discuss how RWE informs treatment and safety decisions for special populations such as patients with ECOG PS 2 with metastatic colorectal cancer.
Panelists note that patients with ECOG performance status (PS) 2 are underrepresented in clinical trials, making real-world data especially critical in guiding their care.
They highlight how emerging real-world evidence (RWE) provides insight into outcomes and tolerability for these vulnerable populations, supplementing limited trial evidence.
In addition, they discuss how real-world safety signals—sometimes distinct from clinical trials—must be carefully considered when determining treatment sequencing and monitoring approaches.
