Advances in the digitization of health systems and expedited regulatory approvals of innovative treatments have led to increased potential for the use of real-world data (RWD) to generate real-world evidence (RWE) to complement evidence from clinical trials. However, health technology assessment (HTA) bodies and payers have concerns about the ability to generate RWE of sufficient quality to be pivotal evidence of relative treatment effectiveness. Consequently, there is a growing need for HTA bodies and payers to develop guidance for the industry and other stakeholders about the use of RWD/RWE to support access, reimbursement, and pricing.

Introduction: mutations are rare in patients with NSCLC, and treatment options are limited. Dabrafenib plus trametinib (dab-tram) was approved for -mutated advanced NSCLC (aNSCLC), based on results from a phase 2 study (NCT01336634). This retrospective analysis compared the effectiveness of dab-tram, based on previously reported clinical trial data, versus real-world standard of care in patients with -mutated aNSCLC.

Background: exon 14 skipping mutation (ex14) is observed in ~3% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases and has been shown to be an independent poor prognostic factor associated with shorter overall disease-specific survival. Broad molecular testing can identify this biomarker in patients with advanced NSCLC (aNSCLC) and allow patients to be matched with the appropriate targeted therapy. This study examines biomarker testing patterns and clinical outcomes of chemotherapy and immuno-oncology (IO) monotherapy in aNSCLC patients with ex14.
