Abstract:

For gene therapy trials, we consider the setting where clinical development program consists of a prospective observation study real-world evidence (RWE) of patients receiving a standard of care (SOC), and a phase 3 randomized and blinded study to establish effectiveness and safety of a new drug compared with an integrated RWE of SOC. We propose an efficient inter-group (EIG) analysis approach where RWE from both the perspective observational study and the concurrent control of the parallel group design are combined via a Bayesian approach. The resulting design is 50%-65% more efficient than a traditional parallel group design. The analysis procedure controls the type 1 error rates and maintains high statistical power. This makes it feasible to conduct trials where it is difficult to enroll patients.
