Using AI to Streamline Clinical Trials

Industry

Biotechnology

Deliver Better Drugs, Faster

AI streamlines clinical trials by optimizing pre-trial design, improving patient recruitment, and automating data analysis. This accelerates development, cuts costs, and boosts trial success, benefiting both your team and the patients you serve.

The Problem

Clinical trials are often costly, slow, and inefficient, adding significantly to the $2.3 billion price tag of bringing a new drug to market. Despite these expenses, only 10-14% of drug candidates successfully make it through trials. In addition to high development costs and candidate dropout rates, trial organizers face recruitment inefficiencies and complex data management.

The AI Opportunity

AI streamlines clinical trials by optimizing pre-trial design, improving patient recruitment, and automating data analysis. This accelerates development, cuts costs, and boosts trial success, benefiting both your team and the patients you serve.

Why It Matters

AI-driven clinical trials help deliver life-saving treatments to patients sooner. Speeding up this stage of drug development can make healthcare more affordable and accessible, improve patient outcomes, and accelerate medical research—paving the way for faster discoveries and more effective future treatments.

Benefits & Impact

Cost Reduction

AI-optimized patient recruitment and trial design help reduce inefficiencies, unnecessary resource utilization, and unqualified participant enrollment, resulting in substantial cost savings.

Accelerated Trial Timelines

Predictive analytics and real-time monitoring streamline processes, identifying potential bottlenecks and enhancing patient retention, which speeds up trial completion and market entry.

Improved Success Rates

AI-driven insights enhance trial design and execution accuracy, increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes and reducing trial failures.

Enhanced Patient Experience

Personalized patient matching and monitoring improve trial participation experiences, leading to better retention and higher-quality data.

Data-Driven Decision Making

Real-time analytics and actionable AI insights empower teams to make proactive, informed decisions, improving adaptability and trial outcomes.

AI Methods & Models

  • Purpose: Match eligible participants to trials using demographic, genetic, and health data.

  • Outcome: Faster recruitment and higher retention.

  • Tools/Models: Logistic regression, clustering algorithms (e.g., k-means), decision trees.
