AI-Powered Patient Matching with TrialGPT
TrialGPT leverages large language models (LLMs) to analyze patient medical records against complex trial eligibility criteria, dramatically speeding up pre-screening. It provides detailed explanations for suitability, effectively ranking trials and significantly reducing manual review burden. This improves both efficiency and diversity in recruitment, capable of pre-screening hundreds of candidates in minutes. TrialGPT has shown strong performance, with its explanations aligning closely with human experts.

Predictive Remission Modeling in UC with AI (Etrolizumab Trials)
The Harun et al. study utilized XGBoost ML models and the SHAP framework to identify patient factors influencing remission in UC patients from etrolizumab randomized controlled trials. This advanced approach revealed complex, nonlinear relationships in large datasets, achieving an AUROC of 0.74±0.03 for induction and 0.75±0.06 for maintenance remission. This offers deeper insights for patient stratification and optimizing treatment strategies.
| Aspect | Human Expert Assessment | AI Algorithm Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Objectivity & Variability | Imperfect inter-rater reliability, scoring inconsistencies | Increased objectivity, minimized variability, consistent application |
| Efficiency & Throughput | Time-consuming, requires extensive expertise | Fast, automates evaluation of large datasets (videos, WSIs) |
| Novel Feature Discovery | Limited by established scoring indices | Identifies novel histological/endoscopic features beyond indices |
| Disease Grading | Can provide precise grading of activity | Often provides binary outcomes (remission vs. no remission) |
| Integration with Multimodal Data | Challenging to integrate manually | Seamlessly processes clinical, imaging, genomic, biomarker data |

AUROC for 5-Year IBD Outcome Prediction (ML Model)
AI Predicting Mesalamine Non-Response in Pediatric UC
An ML-based algorithm successfully identified 18 histomic features from inception cohort data (292 patients) that could predict which pediatric UC patients would not respond to mesalamine. This model showed almost identical high performance (AUROC 0.89 in development vs. 0.88 in validation) in an external cohort, demonstrating AI's potential for early, targeted therapy decisions and improved patient outcomes by guiding appropriate agent choice.
AI models can continuously learn and adapt based on new data, enabling real-time personalization of treatment strategies that are particularly beneficial in managing IBD's fluctuating disease activity. This proactive approach supports earlier interventions and reduces treatment-related side effects.

Cumulative Disease Score (CDS) Optimizes Sample Size in Ustekinumab Trial
The AI-based Cumulative Disease Score (CDS) system, tested on the ustekinumab trial dataset, demonstrated superior ability to discriminate between treatment and placebo arms. A simulated sample size calculation indicated that 50% fewer patients would be needed to demonstrate a difference with CDS compared to the Mayo Endoscopic Score (MES), highlighting the potential for more efficient and streamlined early drug development programs.
