Principal - Oncology Real World Evidence

The team

IQVIA’s Real World Solutions (RWS) team is fast-growing and highly successful, delivering tangible business results to international pharmaceutical and healthcare industry clients. The team provides its expanding client base with robust and credible Real World Solutions that are fit for scientific publication and submission to various regulatory and payer authorities.
With direct access to some of the world’s most robust anonymised patient-level data sets, and working alongside our EMEA Delivery Hub, a team of 80 (mostly London based) Health Economists, Epidemiologists and Statisticians, we deliver deep insights into product efficacy, safety, cost and value. We are one of only a few organizations that integrate Real World Evidence, health economics, outcomes research, market access and other areas of management consulting at both a national and international level.
Our RWS team is integral to the development and application of several unique and robust oncology data offerings, including IQVIA’s Oncology Insights Simulator, a data collaboration which optimises synthetic data in order to perform  Real World Evidence studies using Public Health England’s Cancer Analysis System (CAS). As a rapidly growing part of our RWS business, IQVIA’s Oncology Insights Simulator supports retrospective database studies, external comparator studies for regulatory submission, economic models for Health Technology Assessments, national and subnational treatment pathway assessments, and evaluations of molecular testing.

As part of our future RWS growth plans, we are seeking to expand our Oncology Insights Simulator offering with key UK clients as well as establish new data offerings and solutions that help fill vital evidence gaps in oncology.
