This U.S. Food and Drug Administration public workshop, convened through a grant with the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy, will review findings from the RCT-DUPLICATE Demonstration Project. The discussion will build on a previous public workshop convened by Duke-Margolis on February 16, 2021, which shared preliminary results from trial replication efforts with the goal of better understanding the strengths and limitations of observational studies. The current workshop will report on additional results and further elaborate on lessons learned from RCT-DUPLICATE; potential implications for regulatory decision-making will also be explored.
