Regulatory pathways in oncology are evolving rapidly, but for emerging pharma and biotech, generating credible comparative evidence is only getting harder. External control arms (ECAs) built on real-world data sourced directly from EHR systems offer a path forward–providing the clinical depth, timeliness, and rigor needed to hold up under regulatory scrutiny where historical benchmarks and traditional data sources may fall short.

In this webinar you’ll learn: 

  • Regulatory considerations when evaluating external control arms today, and what it takes to count as credible evidence in a submission
  • How ECAs can inform go/no-go decisions, refine trial design and strengthen single-arm results before you file 
  • How RWD has been used in ECAs that contributed to a regulatory approval, and what sets them apart
