Summary
This course provides you with an understanding of how Real World Evidence (RWE) can complement evidence from randomised clinical trials and market research. You learn how to choose study design and data sources depending on the purpose of the study and how you may avoid or limit the impact of the sources of error in observational research.
You also learn about the boundaries between interventional clinical trials, observational clinical studies and market research – and the regulatory requirements for the different categories.
