Session Chair(s)

Vice President, Center for Design and Analysis
Amgen Inc., United States
While randomized controlled trials (RCT) continue to have an established place in the realm of evidence generation, real-world evidence (RWE) has drawn increasing attention in the development of medical products. This session will review and discuss supplementing or integrating evidence from RCT with RWE in the regulatory assessment of risk and benefit of drugs. Additionally, it will delve into the design and analysis of pragmatic clinical trials (PCT), as well as the strengths, limitations, and key issues relative to PCT. Speakers and panelists will discuss opportunities and challenges with access to RWE, design of PCT, and the future of clinical trials.
Learning Objective :
At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Describe benefits and methods for integrating RWE and clinical trials such as using drug use information to improve clinical trial design, design and analysis of pragmatic trials, or re-assessing benefit-risk in user population postmarketing
- Discuss challenges and limitations in access and use of RWE
