Multiple myeloma patients in the real world have 44% worse PFS and 75% worse OS compared to RCTs, according to this abstract at ASH.  RCTs always have strict enrollment criteria, but that isn't the only reason why RCTs have healthier patients.  Community cancer centers don't have access to all the clinical trials academic centers have, so just by nature, clinical trials already have a bias towards patients who are able to travel, can take time off (if the trials have multiple visits per week), and have higher healthcare literacy.  It's unfortunate that the difference between the real world and the RCT world is this stark, and subsequent analyses into the drivers for these differences should be interesting. #multiplemyeloma https://lnkd.in/d67Vam4U
