American Marconi Wireless News - Onco-Innovations' Inka Health Publishes Framework on Transportability of Real-World Evidence and Use in Health Technology Assessment

The primer outlines the three foundational principles required for reliable cross-border evidence sharing, which are consistency, positivity, and conditional exchangeability. By applying these golden rules, global regulators, health technology assessment bodies, and industry stakeholders gain a practical framework to evaluate the relevance of non-local RWE. The article also details proven statistical techniques including matching, weighting, standardization, and bias analysis that will be integrated into Inka Health's SynoGraph platform to address differences in patient populations. This ensures that real-world oncology data from various regions can be more confidently used to inform healthcare decisions worldwide.

These approaches are especially important for rare disease drug approvals where patient populations are small and local evidence is often lacking. By enabling non-local data to be used effectively, the primer offers a potential solution to this bottleneck, ultimately helping to speed up approval of access to life-saving treatments.By incorporating these transportability methods into SynoGraph, Inka Health is advancing the use of artificial intelligence to overcome global data challenges in oncology, supporting more precise, timely, and evidence-based treatment decisions worldwide.

"This primer marks a pivotal step toward making global health data more accessible and actionable. By harnessing advanced statistical methods alongside AI-powered tools like SynoGraph, we can break down geographic barriers in oncology research. This publication is instrumental in exploring applications for transportability in real-world oncology settings and finding ways to help accelerate the delivery of innovative treatments to patients who need them most, particularly in rare disease communities where data scarcity has long been a challenge," stated Paul Arora, Co-Founder of Inka Health.

AstraZeneca Canada became a client of Inka Health on September 23, 2024, prior to Inka Health becoming part of Onco-Innovations on February 3, 2025. AstraZeneca is not an investor in Onco-Innovations. Any references to AstraZeneca Canada are only to the real-world evidence and analytic methods publications being developed under the services agreement with Inka Health.
