Congratulations to Miguel-Angel Mayer for his appointment as a member of the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences Expert Working Group

Miguel-Angel Mayer, member of IBI group of the GRIB, has been invited to join the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) XIII Expert Working Group. CIOMS is an international, non-governmental, non-profit organization established jointly by the World Health Organisation and UNESCO in 1949. CIOMS mission is to advance public health through guidance on health research including ethics, medical product development and safety. There is increasing interest in the use of Real-World data (RWD) to support regulatory decision making across products life cycle. Electronic health records, claims data, prescription data, and patient registries are some of the most important resources of RWD. Real-world evidence (RWE) is the clinical evidence about the usage and potential benefits or risks of a medical product derived from an analysis of RWD. CIOMS has proposed the development of a consensus report and recommendations for the use of RWD and RWE in regulatory decision-making related to biopharmaceutical products. Miguel-Angel Mayer said: "I am honoured to join CIOMS and work on this RWD/RWE consensus report and the opportunity to collaborate with the most important world experts in this field".
