Deploying Digital Twins and Synthetic Data in Evidence Generation

Webinar

March 19, 2026 @ 1:00 pm 2:00 pm

This webinar will examine the use of digital twins and synthetic data in evidence generation, focusing on (1) their emerging applications across the clinical trial lifecycle, including study design, control arm reduction, and single-arm trials, and (2) regulatory expectations and experience. Panelists will discuss how evidence quality, validation approaches, performance benchmarks, and model interpretability shape decision-making, and reflect on how practical and regulatory considerations influence the adoption of these approaches in clinical research. The discussion will draw on use cases, including synthetic controls and power enhancement strategies, and will include a moderated discussion and time for audience Q&A.
