SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF CLINICAL TRIAL EVALUATION
Systems and methods are configured to match a patient to a clinical trial. A method includes receiving text-based criteria for the clinical trial, including a molecular marker. Additionally, the method includes associating at least a portion of the text-based criteria to one or more pre-defined data fields containing molecular marker information. The method further includes comparing a molecular marker of the patient to the one or more pre-defined data fields, and generating a report for a provider. The report is based on the comparison and includes a match indication of the patient to the clinical trial.
1 . A method of matching a patient to a clinical trial, the method comprising:
receiving text-based criteria for the clinical trial, including a molecular marker;
associating at least a portion of the text-based criteria to one or more pre-defined data fields containing molecular marker information;
comparing a molecular marker of the patient to the one or more pre-defined data fields; and
generating a report for a provider, the report based on the comparison and including a match indication of the patient to the clinical trial.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the molecular marker is an RNA sequence.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the molecular marker is a DNA sequence.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more pre-defined data fields include inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria.
5 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
determining that the patient has not received a treatment related to the molecular marker of the patient; and
determining that the patient is eligible for at least one candidate clinical trial in response to determining that the patient has not received the treatment.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the text based criteria is free-text.
7 . A clinical trial matching system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the system configured to:
receive text-based criteria for a clinical trial, including a molecular marker;
associate at least a portion of the text-based criteria to one or more pre-defined data fields containing molecular marker information;
compare a molecular marker of a patient to the one or more pre-defined data fields; and
generate a report for a provider, the report based on the comparison and including a match indication of the patient to the clinical trial.
8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the molecular marker is an RNA sequence.
9 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the molecular marker is a DNA sequence.
10 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more pre-defined data fields include inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria.
11 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the system is further configured to:
determine that the patient has not received a treatment related to the molecular marker of the patient; and
determine that the patient is eligible for at least one candidate clinical trial in response to determining that the patient has not received the treatment.
12 . The system of claim 7 , wherein at least a portion of the text based criteria is free-text.
13 . A method of matching a patient to a clinical trial, the method comprising:
receiving health information from an electronic medical record corresponding to the patient;
determining data elements within the health information using at least one of an optical character recognition (OCR) method and a natural language processing (NLP) method;
comparing the data elements to pre-determined trial criteria, including trial inclusion criteria and trial exclusion criteria;
determining at least one matching clinical trial, based on the comparing of the data elements to the predetermined trial criteria; and
notifying a practitioner associated with the patient of the at least one matching clinical trial.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the pre-determined trial criteria is generated based on unstructured text.
15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the pre-determined trial criteria is formatted in at least one standardized format in use by a medical institution.
16 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the data elements include at least one of a clinical feature, a molecular feature, an epigenome feature, a microbiome feature, an organoid feature, or an imaging feature.
17 . The method of claim 13 further comprising periodically updating a clinical trial database comprising the at least one matching clinical trial and at least one non-matching trial.
18 . The method of claim 13 , wherein notifying the practitioner associated with the patient of the at least one matching clinical trial comprises causing a report to be displayed to the practitioner, the report comprising the locations of the at least one matching trial.
19 . A clinical trial matching system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the system configured to:
receive health information from an electronic medical record corresponding to the patient;
determine data elements within the health information using at least one of an optical character recognition (OCR) method and a natural language processing (NLP) method;
compare the data elements to pre-determined trial criteria, including trial inclusion criteria and trial exclusion criteria;
determine at least one matching clinical trial, based on the comparing of the data elements to the predetermined trial criteria; and
notify a practitioner associated with the patient of the at least one matching clinical trial.
20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the pre-determined trial criteria is generated based on unstructured text.
21 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the pre-determined trial criteria is formatted in at least one standardized format in use by a medical institution.
22 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the data elements include at least one of a clinical feature, a molecular feature, an epigenome feature, a microbiome feature, an organoid feature, or an imaging feature.
23 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the system is further configured to periodically update a clinical trial database comprising the at least one matching clinical trial and at least one non-matching trial.
24 . The system of claim 19 , wherein notifying the practitioner associated with the patient of the at least one matching clinical trial comprises causing a report to be displayed to the practitioner, the report comprising the locations of the at least one matching trial.
