Scientists check if Real-World records can mimic Gold-Standard cancer trial
NCT ID NCT07274709
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether information from routine medical records (real-world data) can produce the same results as a carefully controlled clinical trial called MONALEESA-2 for advanced breast cancer. Researchers analyzed data from over 2,400 patients to see if they could reliably measure survival times. The goal is to learn when real-world data can be trusted for future research, not to test a new treatment.
