First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study looked at whether information from routine medical records can produce the same results as a gold-standard clinical trial. Researchers analyzed data from 3,883 women with advanced breast cancer to see if real-world analyses could match the findings of the MONARCH-3 trial, which tested a drug combination. The goal is to learn when real-world data can be trusted for future research.
