SPOT: Sequential Predictive Modeling of Clinical Trial Outcome with Meta-Learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Clinical trials are essential to drug development but time-consuming, costly, and prone to failure. Accurate trial outcome prediction based on historical trial data promises better trial investment decisions and more trial success. Existing trial outcome prediction models were not designed to model the relations among similar trials, capture the ...
