REAL-WORLD EVIDENCE

Real-World Evidence &

Observational Research

CEBIS supports observational and real-world evidence programs designed to answer clinical questions using information generated across routine practice and broader patient settings.

Our teams can coordinate study operations, data management, biostatistics, safety and medical writing around the objectives of the research program.

REAL-WORLD RESEARCH

Evidence Beyond the
Controlled Trial Setting

Traditional clinical trials generate evidence within defined protocols and study populations. Observational and real-world research can complement that evidence with information generated through routine clinical practice.

This type of research can support questions related to:

STUDY DESIGN

Research Designed Around
the Evidence Question

Collect information going forward from participants or clinical sites according to a defined observational research plan.

Review existing clinical information to investigate a defined question using previously generated data where appropriate.

Collect information from routine clinical use after a product has reached the market.

Evaluate clinical outcomes and other relevant measures within broader patient populations.

Generate additional information related to product safety and uncommon or longer-term events.

STUDY EXECUTION

A Structured Approach to

Observational Research

Real-world evidence still requires a clear question, defined data collection and consistent study delivery.

Step - 01

Define the Research Question

Clarify what the sponsor needs to understand and which population or clinical setting is relevant.

Step - 02

Develop the Study Approach

Define the study population, data requirements, participating sites and operational plan.

Step - 03

Collect & Manage the Data

Coordinate participating sites and ensure study information is collected, reviewed and managed consistently.

Step - 04

Analyze & Report

Use biostatistics and medical writing to help interpret and communicate the study findings.

DATA & ANALYTICS

From Real-World Information
to Study Results

Observational research can involve information collected across different patients, sites and clinical settings. A clear data-management and analysis plan helps turn that information into usable study results.

CEBIS can coordinate:

LATE-PHASE RESEARCH

Part of a Broader Evidence Strategy

Real-world evidence and observational research can form part of a broader Phase IV and post-marketing development strategy.

CEBIS can coordinate these studies alongside clinical operations, safety, data, statistical and medical-writing support.
