Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing clinical trials, offering greater efficiency and precision. At the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) 2024, Unlearn AI, in collaboration with Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine and AbbVie, demonstrated how AI-generated digital twins are transforming randomized clinical trials (RCTs). This technology reduces control arm sizes and increases statistical power, ultimately making drug development faster and more cost-effective.
1. AI-Powered Digital Twins: A Paradigm Shift in Clinical Trials
Traditional clinical trials require large control groups, limiting patient access to new treatments. However, Unlearn’s Digital Twin Generators create AI-powered forecasts of patient outcomes, reducing control arm sizes and significantly boosting trial efficiency.
2. Collaboration with Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine
In a groundbreaking collaboration, Unlearn AI applied its Digital Twin Generator to three Phase III Alzheimer’s Disease trials. Key outcomes include:
- 33% reduction in control arm size when assessing ADAS-Cog11 at 18 months.
- 19% reduction in control arm size for CDR-SB at 12 months.
- 10% power gain (from 80% to 90%) with ADAS-Cog11.
This innovative approach accelerates trials, reduces costs, and improves patient access to new treatments.
3. Collaboration with AbbVie
In a Phase II Alzheimer’s Disease study, Unlearn’s AI technology resulted in:
- 10-15% reduction in total sample size.
- 7% increase in trial power (from 80% to 87%) with CDR-SB.
These advancements reduce patient requirements while maintaining statistical reliability, streamlining the drug approval process.
4. The Future of AI in Clinical Development
AI-powered digital twins have the potential to revolutionize clinical trials by addressing key challenges:
- Faster drug development timelines.
- Lower trial costs and improved efficiency.
- Increased patient access to experimental treatments.
- Higher statistical confidence in trial outcomes.
