50% of clinical trials fail due to inadequate designs or implementation errors, learn how AI solves these challenges.
Clinical trials are the cornerstone of medical research, but their design and execution are often riddled with methodological errors that can compromise the validity of results.
Common issues include errors in randomization, inadequate sample size selection, and flaws in statistical analyses [1].
These errors not only increase the cost and duration of trials but also lead to incorrect conclusions that impact the safety and efficacy of treatments.
An AI assistant specifically designed for formulating clinical trial protocols can:
- Automate and optimize the randomization process.
- Calculate optimal sample sizes based on specific study criteria.
- Identify and correct methodological inconsistencies.
- Provide simulations and predictive analyses to evaluate potential scenarios before trial implementation [4].
The TrialMaster prompt was built using insights from papers on clinical trial design, including work from the Institute of Medicine (USA) and contributions from M. Shi et al. [7], who explore the role of AI in refining clinical trial protocols.

A trial that fails due to methodological errors can result in a loss of $500 million in direct and indirect costs.
A one-year delay in drug approval could lead to an estimated $1 billion loss in revenue, considering lost market time and increased competition [5].
Resources wasted on failed trials could have been redirected to over 10 early-stage research projects or potential innovations [6].
