New roadmap integrates RCTs, RWD, and AI/ML for evidence synthesis

A new perspective paper proposes a six-step statistical roadmap for integrating randomized controlled trials (RCTs), real-world data (RWD), and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) to improve evidence synthesis. The paper argues that the future of evidence generation lies in the principled combination of these methodologies, rather than their exclusive use. It addresses key questions regarding the causal use of RWD, the contributions of AI/ML, the indispensable role of statistics, and the evolution of statistical training for pharmaceutical and regulatory settings. AI

IMPACT Proposes a framework to enhance the reliability and efficiency of evidence generation in fields like drug development by integrating AI/ML with traditional statistical methods.

    Integrating RCTs, RWD, AI/ML and Statistics: Next-Generation Evidence Synthesis

    arXiv:2511.19735v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)have been the cornerstone of clinical evidence; however, their cost, duration, and restrictive eligibility criteria limit power and external validity. Studies using real-world data (RWD),…
