추상적인

표적 시험 에뮬레이션(TTE)은 관찰 데이터로부터 인과 추론의 신뢰성을 향상시키는 능력 덕분에 인기를 얻었습니다. 하지만 암 분야에서 표적 시험의 현재 사용 현황, 잠재적 도전과제 및 통찰력에 관한 지식은 부족합니다. PubMed와 Embase에서 체계적인 검토를 통해 암 분야의 총 90개의 TTE 연구가 확인되었습니다. 암 치료 분야의 54개 적용 중 등록 데이터베이스(44.4%)와 전체 생존율(OS, 63.0%)이 각각 주요 데이터 소스 및 주요 종결점으로 주로 활용되었습니다. 포함된 TTE 사례 중 약 30건(55.6%)은 불멸 시간 편향과 관련이 있었고, 21건(38.9%)은 기존 사용자 편향과 관련이 있었습니다. 기존 무작위 대조 시험(RCT) 결과를 보정하려는 13개 연구의 21개 시험 중 42.9%만이 통계적 일치와 추정치 일치를 모두 충족했습니다. 목적에 맞는 데이터 소스의 가용성과 결과 일치에 대한 불확실성이 암 분야 TTE의 양과 질을 제한하는 주요 장애물이었습니다. 특별 프로젝트 시작을 통한 규제 승인 촉진이 TTE를 이용한 실제 데이터(RWD)의 확대 적용에 중요한 역할을 할 수 있습니다. 지역 또는 국가 수준의 전자 의료 기록 통합, 보험 청구 데이터베이스 연계, 적격성 기준 현대화, OS를 주요 종결점으로 사용, 기타 모범 사례와 같은 잠재적 해결책이 암 분야 TTE의 실행 가능성과 품질 향상을 위해 권장되었습니다.
