STAT+: HHS announces new efforts to speed up, expand clinical trials with AI
Federal health officials want to speed up clinical research to compete with countries like China.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has unveiled a series of new initiatives designed to accelerate clinical trials through the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computational models. The overarching program, known as SURPASS – "Simulation-augmented, Real-time Platform Adaptive Seamless Trials," is set to commence later this fall.
The program will function through a five-year commitment, accepting innovative concepts from interdisciplinary teams specializing in statistics, AI, and clinical trial design, operations, and regulation. HHS is spearheading the initiative via the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health. The initial disclosure did not disclose the allocated funding or provide specifics on potential enhancements for participants, such as increased flexibility or resources. Further details can be found in the complete report on STAT+.
