Abstract
Clinical trials are pivotal in drug development yet fraught with uncertainties and resource-intensive demands. The application of AI models to forecast trial outcomes could mitigate failures and expedite the drug discovery process. This review discusses AI methodologies that impact clinical trial outcomes, focusing on clinical text embedding, trial multimodal learning, and prediction techniques, while addressing practical challenges and opportunities.
期刊介绍:
Drug Discovery Today delivers informed and highly current reviews for the discovery community.
