Unlearn invented their TwinRCT solution to enable biopharma partners to run faster, more successful clinical trials. A TwinRCT is a randomized trial that uses machine learning to achieve a higher probability of success with a smaller number of patients. As in a traditional RCT, patients are randomized to a treatment group and a control group, but, unlike a traditional trial, a prognostic digital twin is created for every patient using a machine learning model trained on historical data. The treatment effects for the primary and secondary outcomes can all be estimated from the trial with greater precision after correcting for a prognostic score derived for each patient's digital twin. TwinRCTs provide a scientifically-sound method for using deep learning and historical patient data to improve clinical trials.
