Real-world-data & real-world-evidence platforms

Collecting health data in routine care to produce evidence that complements traditional trials — in China at pilot stage since the 2019 Boao Lecheng programme, where 15 medical product units had registered using real-world data by June 2024.

1 · What it gives

Real-world research collects data on patient health in real-world settings to generate evidence about the use and effects of medical products. Real-world evidence complements the limits of traditional clinical trials. In China it is at pilot stage: the Boao Lecheng pilot started in 2019 and, as of June 2024, 15 medical product units there had passed registration and listing using real-world data.

2 · What it replaces 6

D1	Household and institutional cleaning without triclosan, excess quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) and routine chlorine — plain soap, enzyme-based detergents and probiotic (Bacillus) cleaners Replaces: Triclosan and triclocarban "antibacterial" soaps and products, routine use of QAC disinfectant sprays/wipes and chlorine bleach for everyday …	CHEM
D1	On-farm and regional biofactories (multiplication units, media, quality control) for microbial bio-inputs — Bacillus, Trichoderma, Beauveria, Bt, beneficial insects — instead of importing finished chemical pesticides and fertilizers Replaces: Imported finished synthetic pesticides and part of mineral fertilizer programmes; also imported finished biologicals with long cold chains	EAC
D1	Bio-based plasticizers — epoxidized soybean/linseed oil (ESBO), citrate esters (ATBC), isosorbide diesters, castor-oil derivatives — instead of ortho-phthalates (DEHP, DBP, BBP, DIBP) in PVC Replaces: Low-molecular-weight ortho-phthalate plasticizers in flexible PVC (flooring, cables, films, toys, medical tubing, food-contact gaskets)	CHEM
D2	Disease-resistant crop varieties (marker-assisted breeding, stacked resistance genes, cisgenesis) instead of routine fungicide spray programmes Replaces: Season-long protective fungicide programmes on susceptible varieties — e.g. 10–20 sprays of mancozeb/chlorothalonil/metalaxyl against potato …	SEED
D0	Edible wax and essential-oil coatings on fresh produce instead of synthetic postharvest fungicides in wax Replaces: Synthetic wax coatings and fungicide-wax treatments on fresh produce - imazalil, thiabendazole, fludioxonil in packhouse wax/water (and …	FOOD
D1	Soil-biodegradable mulch films (certified to EN 17033: starch/PLA/PBAT/PHA blends) and paper/organic mulches — instead of conventional polyethylene (PE) mulch films that fragment into soil microplastics Replaces: Non-degradable low-density polyethylene mulch films (and so-called "oxo-degradable" films, banned in the EU since 2021)	PACK
