Non-interventional studies (also known as observational studies) are research investigations where researchers observe, track, and analyze health outcomes in a real-world setting without assigning specific treatments or interventions. Patients receive care per routine practice, not a research protocol, making these studies ideal for studying safety, patterns, or effectiveness. 

Key Aspects of Non-Interventional Studies (NIS):

• No Protocol Treatment Assignment: The decision to treat a patient is separate from the decision to include them in the study.
• Routine Care Observation: Doctors treat patients according to standard practice (e.g., in clinical settings).
• Purpose: These studies, such as prospective cohorts or retrospective studies, are primarily used to gain insights into how medicinal products are used, their long-term effectiveness, and safety.
• Real-World Evidence (RWE): They are essential for gathering real-world data (RWD), reflecting diverse populations, and identifying rare outcomes or long-term effects.
• Not Clinical Trials: Because they do not interfere with patient treatment, they are generally not considered clinical trials, which often eliminates the need for the same rigorous, pre-approval processes.
• Data Collection Methods: These can include reviewing medical records, conducting surveys, or monitoring patients, often using epidemiological methods for analysis.
