Рандомизированные клинические исследования (РКИ) сегодня остаются «золотым стандартом» доказательной медицины. С другой стороны, не менее очевидно, что реальная практика предъявляет много новых и важных вопросов, на которые в рамках РКИ ответить сложно: насколько портрет реального пациента соответствует критериям включения в исследование; каковы эффективность и безопасность препарата у коморбидных и пожилых пациентов; как отклонения от режима приема влияют на безопасность и др. Внедрение инновационных подходов в онкологии происходит несоизмеримо более быстрыми темпами по сравнению с другими дисциплинами. Именно поэтому здесь важен взвешенный анализ эффектов инноваций в реальной практике. Регуляторные органы, понимая это, демонстрируют готовность рассматривать и активно поддерживать исследования реальной клинической практики (real-world evidence, real world data) в рамках заявок на регистрацию препаратов, что является мощным стимулом к развитию данного направления. Целью статьи является анализ регуляторных подходов США и Европы к исследованиям реальной клинической практики при рассмотрении регистрационных заявок лекарственных препаратов, а также обсуждение опыта организации наблюдательного исследования эффективности отдельных лекарственных препаратов для лечения онкологических заболеваний в Москве как уникального для России примера взаимодействия регуляторных органов и экспертного сообщества онкологов.

________________________________________________
Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are the “gold standard” of evidence-based medicine. However, it is no less evident that real practice presents many new and important questions that are difficult to answer in the RCT. To what extent does the real patient meet the criteria for inclusion in the study? What are the efficacy and safety of the drug in comorbid and elderly patients? How deviations from the treatment regimen affect safety, etc. The introduction of innovative oncology approaches is disproportionately faster than in other fields. That is why a balanced analysis of the effects of innovation in real-world practice is relevant. Regulatory authorities are aware of this and demonstrate a willingness to consider and actively support real-world evidence research as part of drug applications, which is a powerful incentive for developing this area. The purpose of the article is to analyze the regulatory approaches in the United States and Europe to real-world studies when considering drug applications and to discuss the experience of organizing an observational study of the effectiveness of individual drugs for the treatment of oncological diseases in Moscow as a unique example of interaction between regulatory authorities and the expert community of oncologists.
