AI Powers Lightning-Fast Virtual Drug Trial, Doubling Cure Rate Prediction
- Praedicare, a North Texas biotech firm, completed the first ever virtual clinical trial using AI to test a drug for treating lung infections
- The AI trial analyzed the drug's effectiveness and safety in just 3 months, much faster than traditional decade+ long trials
- Praedicare compared a new 1-drug, 6-month antibiotic regimen to the current 3-drug, 1.5 year treatment
- The AI predicted the new drug would have an 80% cure rate, almost double the standard 43% rate
- Using AI modeling before clinical trials could revolutionize drug development by weeding out ineffective drugs earlier
