The key advantage of adaptive clinical trial design is the convenience and flexibility of prospective planning opportunities to modify the study design, test hypotheses based on interim results and control or eliminate bias, which is not possible in conventional clinical trial design. For example, based on interim data, a model-based approach could be employed to modify or optimize Phase 2 clinical trial doses based on patient’s dose-response. This approach could eliminate suboptimal dose risk and improve the drug efficacy rate without any safety signals.
Guest post by Safeer Khan, Lecturer at Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Government College University, Lahore, Pakistan Clinical trials are fundamental for generating the data needed to develop new treatments, ultimately improving patient care and advancing healthcare systems worldwide (you can read more in our recent post about the Importance of Clinical Trials). However, despite their essential role, these trials are often financially burdensome, which can hinder research efforts and limit patient access to innovative therapies.
Guest post by Safeer Khan, Lecturer at Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Government College University, Lahore, Pakistan Clinical trials are the backbone of clinical drug development. They are essential for advancing medicine, testing new therapies, and ensuring patient safety before drugs reach the market. Yet, despite enormous investment, approximately 90% of all clinical trials fail to achieve regulatory approval, according to recent industry studies.[1] Failed trials result in significant financial losses — the average cost of a failed Phase III trial alone can exceed $100 million.

In today’s ever-evolving healthcare landscape, technology is crucial to improving patient care, streamlining processes, and enhancing outcomes. Natural Language Processing (NLP) is one such technology that is revolutionising the way healthcare organisations operate. For instance, NLP has been used to analyse patient feedback and identify trends in satisfaction levels, leading to targeted improvements in service quality. In this article, we will explore the role of NLP in healthcare, its benefits, and potential applications.

Clinical trials are vital for advancing medical innovation, yet they often face significant hurdles, including ensuring patient safety, adhering to regulatory requirements, controlling costs, and maintaining efficiency. Traditional risk assessment methods frequently need to be revised to address these complexities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming clinical trial management, offering data-driven solutions to predict and mitigate risks. AI-powered tools like the Clinical Trial Risk Tool have revolutionised trial planning and execution.
This post originally appeared on Fast Data Science’s blog on LinkedIn. Clinical trial protocols are often long, detailed documents—sometimes 200 pages—filled with vital information about sample size, treatment methods, and statistical plans. These protocols ensure the effective conduct of trials, but their complexity increases the time needed for manual reviews and the risk of human error. This is where Natural Language Processing (NLP) steps in. NLP enables machines to “read” unstructured data, such as clinical trial protocols, and extract key insights.
