Predicting the placebo response in OA to improve the precision of the treatment effect estimation

The current abstract is the result of a collaboration between Unity biotechnology and Tools4 patient As you know, the placebo response is one of the major sources of variability in randomized clinical trials As a result, many trials fail due to a high placebo response. Unfortunately, this is also true in OA studies. However, within Tools4Patient, we have developed a Machine-Learning model named Placebell©™ that can overcome this placebo challenge. This machine -learning

Video Presentation – Can Daily Self-Assessment Induce a Learning Effect Mitigating Pain Evaluation Error in Randomized Clinical Trials?

LEARNING EFFECT & EVALUATION ERROR At Tools4Patient, we are working on the prediction of placebo response and especially the placebo response with endpoints assessing the patients’ pain. As you know, these endpoints represent most of the efficacy endpoints in Osteoarthritis Randomized Clinical Trials. Nevertheless, the assessment of pain is, by nature, subjective and the risk is high

Covariate Adjustment in Randomized Clinical Trials Based on Latest FDA Guidance: Application to Composite Covariates

In May 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released its final guidance titled “Adjusting for Covariates in Randomized Clinical Trials (RCT) for Drugs and Biological Products”. It is difficult to overstate the importance of this guidance as baseline covariate adjustment is an integral part of any statistical analysis of RCTs. Covariate adjustment has become a standard statistical tool because of its

Predict placebo response using patient psychology to increase trial power

Advanced methods like AI and machine learning are uniquely poised to help scientists uncover the full spectrum of patient placebo responsiveness in a clinical trial. Learn more about this approach by attending our webinar, which explains how a solution like Placebell©™ leverages a time-tested predictive algorithm to improve clinical trial assay sensitivity and de-risk drug development.
