- Abstract: A clinical trial is an essential step in drug development, which is often
costly and time-consuming. In silico trials are clinical trials conducted
digitally through simulation and modeling as an alternative to traditional
clinical trials. AI-enabled in silico trials can increase the case group size
by creating virtual cohorts as controls. In addition, it also enables
automation and optimization of trial design and predicts the trial success
rate. This article systematically reviews papers under three main topics:
clinical simulation, individualized predictive modeling, and computer-aided
trial design. We focus on how machine learning (ML) may be applied in these
applications. In particular, we present the machine learning problem
formulation and available data sources for each task. We end with discussing
the challenges and opportunities of AI for in silico trials in real-world
applications.

- Establishing Rigorous and Cost-effective Clinical Trials for Artificial Intelligence Models [18.240773244542474]
A profound gap persists between artificial intelligence (AI) and clinical practice in medicine.
State-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice AI model evaluations are limited to laboratory studies on medical datasets or direct clinical trials with no or solely patient-centered controls.
For the first time, we emphasize the critical necessity for rigorous and cost-effective evaluation methodologies for AI models in clinical practice.

This paper presents meticulously curated AIready datasets covering multi-modal data (e.g., drug molecule, disease code, text, categorical/numerical features) and 8 crucial prediction challenges in clinical trial design.
We provide basic validation methods for each task to ensure the datasets' usability and reliability.
We anticipate that the availability of such open-access datasets will catalyze the development of advanced AI approaches for clinical trial design.

Applications [49.69824178329405]
PyTrial provides benchmarks and open-source implementations of a series of machine learning algorithms for clinical trial design and operations.
We thoroughly investigate 34 ML algorithms for clinical trials across 6 different tasks, including patient outcome prediction, trial site selection, trial outcome prediction, patient-trial matching, trial similarity search, and synthetic data generation.
PyTrial defines each task through a simple four-step process: data loading, model specification, model training, and model evaluation, all achievable with just a few lines of code.

Clinical trials are essential to drug development but time-consuming, costly, and prone to failure.
We propose Sequential Predictive mOdeling of clinical Trial outcome (SPOT) that first identifies trial topics to cluster the multi-sourced trial data into relevant trial topics.
With the consideration of each trial sequence as a task, it uses a meta-learning strategy to achieve a point where the model can rapidly adapt to new tasks with minimal updates.
