A regulatory requirement for

RWE Design in the Age of Data

CODef Chevron black

FDA Guidance for Real World Data in September 2021 and December 2023 directed researchers regarding factors affecting their assessment of the reliability and relevance of real-world data, and outlined their expectation on how these should be addressed in study protocols.

The guidance specifically recommends the need for Conceptual Definitions and Operational Definitions (CODef) to be outlined for study design elements (e.g. inclusion/exclusion criteria for study population, exposure, outcomes, covariates).
