Description

Oncology has become one of the top therapeutic areas for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and global spending is expected to approach $200 billion within the next 3 years. The industry must contend with a variety of elements that are increasingly complex including rapid changes in treatment standards and pathways driven in part by assimilation of new technologies and biomarkers. Forecasting design and development considerations for oncology were discussed in a prior webinar.

In this follow-up webinar, we will discuss data sources to support epidemiology-based oncology forecasting approaches. Data will be reviewed in terms of publicly available sources to address unique elements of oncology forecasts including epidemiology data, staging and treatment data. Additionally, securing and integrating data related to patient subsets and survival proxies will be discussed and examples of how to review, vet and integrate data will be reviewed. Live examples using SEER data will be demonstrated and challenges for alignment between data sources will be discussed. Examples of a health system epi-based model constructed using data inputs for staging, treatment, patient-subset and regimen-based progression curves will be demonstrated.
