Subgroup analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) constitute an important component of the drug development process in precision medicine. In particular, subgroup analyses of early-stage trials often influence the design and eligibility criteria of subsequent confirmatory trials and ultimately influence which subpopulations will receive the treatment after regulatory approval. However, subgroup analyses are often complicated by small sample sizes, which leads to substantial uncertainty about subgroup-specific treatment effects. We explore the use of external control (EC) data to augment RCT subgroup analyses. We define and discuss harmonized estimators of subpopulation-specific treatment effects that leverage EC data. Our approach can be used to modify any subgroup-specific treatment effect estimates that are obtained by combining RCT and EC data, such as linear regression. We alter these subgroup-specific estimates to make them coherent with a robust estimate of the average effect in the randomized population based only on RCT data. The weighted average of the resulting subgroup-specific harmonized estimates matches the RCT-only estimate of the overall effect in the randomized population. We discuss the proposed harmonized estimators through analytic results and simulations, and investigate standard performance metrics. The method is illustrated with a case study in oncology.
