Abstract:
|
We develop a Bayesian nonparametric approach for creating synthetic controls from real world data (RWD) to supplement treatment-only single arm trials. We introduce a Bayesian common atoms regression model that clusters covariates with similar values across different treatment arms. Exploiting the common atoms structure, we propose a density free importance sampling scheme to sample a subpopulation of the RWD such that the covariates in the subpopulation have the same distribution as the actual patients, allowing for a valid treatment comparison. Inference under the proposed common atoms mixture model can be characterized as a stochastic stratification by propensity score (for selection into control or treatment arm). The proposed design is implemented for glioblastoma trials.
