Many approaches for designing and analyzing clinical trials using historical (or other external study) data have been proposed in the recent past. For example, proposals have been made for bridging studies, the combination of randomized and non-randomized evidence, and also for more general problems such as across-phases probability of success calculations. In addition, the ever-increasing number of patient registries and databases for routinely collected data, and recent data sharing initiatives (e.g., TransCelerate), further underline the importance of these approaches. However, there are still many open questions concerning the role which clinical trials that use such data can have in drug development. In our opinion, the three most important questions are:
