The public meeting, “Application of External Control Arms in Oncology Drug Development,” hosted by Friends of Cancer Research, is scheduled for Tuesday, April 7, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM ET, at The Ritz-Carlton in Washington, DC, with a virtual streaming option available.

The purpose of the meeting is to explore opportunities for advancing the use of External Control Arms (ECAs), which are constructed from existing data sources like prior clinical trials or real-world data, to enhance oncology drug development, particularly when traditional randomized trials are impractical.
