210Background: With the accumulation of RWD in healthcare, CER continues to expand. RWD are becoming increasingly relevant in oncology, particularly since the onset of care pathways and CMS’ Oncology Care Model pilot program; yet, CER in oncology presents several challenges as disease biology differs by cancer type and many RWD sources do not capture clinical response, progression or survival. This review examined common endpoints reported in RWD studies on CER and TxP in MBC, focusing on HER2-negative and Triple Negative (TN) MBC. Methods: PubMed (2006-January 2016) and 4 conferences (2011-January 2016)—ASCO and SABC meetings/symposiums—were searched using MeSH/keywords, e.g., metastatic breast cancer, treatment, and comparative effectiveness. RWD CER and TxP studies in U.S. patients with HER2-negative or TNMBC were included; clinical trials were excluded. Results: Of1,782 total records, 17 articles and 9 conference abstracts were included. Studies using RWD increased over time with 2 studies published i...
