The aim of this project is to construct a dataset of real-world oncology data that will be used to fill key evidence gaps regarding treatments and outcomes for patients living with a range of cancers in the UK. The dataset will be used to generate a range of real-world evidence-based insights in the following areas:
- Real-world use and sequencing of anti-cancer treatments;
- Identification of populations in which there is an unmet therapeutic need;
- Comprehensive characterisation of the use of support therapy in the treatment of cancer, and assessment of real-world clinical outcomes;
- Identification of key groups of patients who are under-represented in phase 3 clinical trials.
This oncology dataset is part of the Arcturis Real-World Data Network, a research database for conducting observational research. Research projects which have used or are using data comprising the Arcturis Real-World Data Network are listed on their Public Register of Research.
