— New offering uses NetraMark's NetraAI to analyze customer's clinical data and identify key variables that drive efficacy, toxicity and placebo responses in only four weeks —
— Recommendations based on NetraAI generated insights can enhance drug effect size and statistical significance, providing a validated approach to overcoming the industry's 88% clinical trial failure rate —
"Our mission at NetraMark is to have a meaningful impact on the clinical trial process. Our singular focus has been on building advanced AI solutions that leverage clinical study data and affect the quality, accuracy, speed and safety of late stage trials. Our proven NetraAI has been leveraged to "see insights" that de-risk clinical trials by providing advanced personas that are important for various stages of clinical trial planning and execution with the goal to accelerate drug development, and bring safer and more effective treatments to market" said NetraMark CEO,
"We are pleased to unveil our

In contrast with other AI-based clinical trial solutions, NetraAI is uniquely engineered to include focus mechanisms that separate small datasets into explainable and unexplainable subsets. Unexplainable subsets are collections of patients that can lead to suboptimal overfit models and inaccurate insights due to poor correlations with the variables involved. The NetraAI uses the explainable subsets to derive insights and hypotheses (including factors that influence treatment and placebo responses, as well as adverse events) that can increase the chances of a clinical trial success. Typical AI methods lack these focus mechanisms and assign every patient to a class, even when this leads to "overfitting" which drowns out critical information that could be used to improve a trial's chance of success.
Additionally, the "black box" approach of other AI solutions makes it difficult to understand the recommendations provided. In contrast, NetraAI is a "glass house" in which every variable identified is associated with a biologic rationale and testable hypothesis that customers' subject matter experts can evaluate and assess.
The power of NetraAI has been validated in a recent publication in Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, which described its use in discovering novel amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) drug targets and unique ALS patient subpopulations that may substantially improve clinical trial success rates.
"There is a growing understanding about the benefits of personalized therapies tailored to each patient's specific biology and health factors. Other AI-based clinical trial solutions provide homogenized recommendations based on hundreds of thousands of patients," said Dr.

NetraMark is a company focused on being a leader in the development of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI)/Machine Learning (ML) solutions targeted at the Pharmaceutical industry. Its product offering uses a novel topology-based algorithm that has the ability to parse patient data sets into subsets of people that are strongly related according to several variables simultaneously. This allows NetraMark to use a variety of ML methods, depending on the character and size of the data, to transform the data into powerfully intelligent data that activates traditional AI/ML methods. The result is that NetraMark can work with much smaller datasets and accurately segment diseases into different types, as well as accurately classify patients for sensitivity to drugs and/or efficacy of treatment.
