The Importance of Accounting for Time-Related Bias in Single-Arm Trials with Historical Controls (Part 2)
A Q&A with Samy Suissa, PhD In our previous blog post, we sat down with Dr. Samy Suissa, the co-founder and principal investigator of the Canadian Network for Observational Drug Effect Studies, to discuss the main themes from his recent journal article in Epidemiology. Namely, he argues that while single-arm trials with historical controls are[…]
The Importance of Accounting for Time-Related Bias in Single-Arm Trials with Historical Controls (Part 1)
A Q&A with Samy Suissa, PhD Randomized control trials (RCTs) are typically heralded as the gold standard in clinical trial design. However, regulatory agencies are increasingly recognizing the role of single-arm trials that leverage historical controls, especially within the rare disease space. Yet while these single-arm trials could have[…]
The Use of RWE in ICER Evaluations: What It Means for Life Sciences Companies
Real-world evidence (RWE) has been gaining acceptance at a rapid rate in many areas of the life sciences industry including R&D, epidemiology, outcomes research, and commercial groups. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting research to find treatments and vaccines has accelerated the growth and adoption of RWE as well. The Institute for Clinical and[…]
