Real-World-Time Data and RCT Synergy: Advancing Personalized Medicine and Sarcoma Care through Digital Innovation

Abstract

This manuscript examines the synergistic potential of prospective real-world/time data/evidence (RWTD/E) and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to enrich healthcare research and operational insights, with a particular focus on its impact within the sarcoma field. Through exploring RWTD/E’s capability to provide real-world/time, granular patient data, it offers an enriched perspective on healthcare outcomes and delivery, notably in the complex arena of sarcoma care. Highlighting the complementarity between RWTD/E’s expansive real-world/time scope and the structured environment of RCTs, this paper showcases their combined strength, which can help to foster advancements in personalized medicine and population health management, exemplified through the lens of sarcoma treatment. The manuscript further outlines methodological innovations such as target trial emulation and their significance in enhancing the precision and applicability of RWTD/E, underscoring the transformative potential of these advancements in sarcoma care and beyond. By advocating for the strategic incorporation of prospective RWTD/E into healthcare frameworks, it aims to create an evidence-driven ecosystem that significantly improves patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency, with sarcoma care serving as a pivotal domain for these developments.
