The European Medicines Agency (EMA) defines real-world data (RWD) as routinely collected data relating to patient health status or the delivery of health care from a variety of sources other than clinical trials, and real-world evidence (RWE) as information derived from the analysis of RWD, this information being valid, reliable and appropriate for regulatory decision-making on medicinal products. RWE-related activities impact across the EMA and the European Medicines Regulatory Network (EMRN). They are led and coordinated in the Real World Evidence workstream of the Data Analytics and Methods Task Force. This workstream provides RWE expertise and services to support regulatory evaluation and decision-making during the entire life-cycle of medicinal products, including vaccines.
