Researchers have introduced a novel approach using digital twins to create synthetic control arms for single-arm clinical trials. This method leverages advanced machine learning models to generate personalized predictions of disease progression, offering a more robust alternative to traditional comparators. The paper details doubly robust estimators, sample size calculations, and practical considerations for integrating these digital twins into drug development, aligning with recent FDA guidance on AI in this field. The proposed methods are demonstrated through reanalyses of trials in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Huntington's disease. AI
