Minimal Information Standard for an AI Model

Artificial intelligence and machine learning models are used more and more often in the development of pharmaceuticals and as software components in medical devices. However, because there has been a lack of clear reporting standards, many clinically relevant models have been reported with insufficient details to properly assess their risks and benefits. Historically, this has made the science underlying these products irreproducible, deployment and comparison of AI algorithmic solutions hard, and may lead to the users of these products facing unequal or unforeseen harms. Therefore a standard for reporting of biomedically-relevant AI/ML models is necessary. In this panel discussion we will brainstorm options for the transparent reporting of AI algorithms in biology and medicine. Participants include Prof. Atul Butte and Dr. Beau Norgot, authors of the MI-CLAIM checklist recently published in Nature, and Drs. Jen Harrow, Fotis Psomopoulos, and Tom Lenaerts, who are actively working on the standards for AI and ML in Europe.

AI for Drug Repurposing

Chemical-induced gene expression profiles provide a mechanistic signature of phenotypic response, and are thus promising for drug repurposing. However, the use of such data is limited by their sparseness, unreliability, and relatively low throughput.

Our speakers, Drs. Aleksandar Poleksic and Lei Xie, describe two new computational techniques for prediction of the differential gene expression profiles perturbed by de novo chemicals and inference of drug-disease associations.

Imaging Biomarkers

Biomarkers have become an essential part of the drug discovery and development process. A biomarker-driven approach to developing targeted therapies and patient selection strategies has the potential to increase success in the drug development process, decrease costs, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

But what about imaging biomarkers? Usually obtained from PET, MRI, and CT scans, they comprise measurements of structural and metabolic features of the body that over time are used to assess disease progression and response to treatment. Imaging biomarkers are an ideal method to draw evidence from retrospective data and can be used both as inclusion criteria—to select relevant cohorts of patients and output data—to quantify responses to treatments.

Real-World Evidence - Levering AI and Analytics For Real Value and Lasting Impact

Real-world evidence is not new, but with advances in processes, technology, policy, and analytics, is becoming more accessible and usable. RWE is being used to drive real outcomes and lasting impact for pharma, patients/subjects, and other participants in the continuum of care. At the foundation of RWE is data – behaviors, patterns, computational biomarkers, phenotypic/genomic data, imaging, outcomes, and social determinants of health.

The RWE trends that are happening in life sciences and biological sciences are driven by

• Datafication is driven by the availability of diverse data – big, small, and everything in between
• Competitive advantages
• Reducing the time for regulatory approvals
• Cost and outcomes

While data and descriptive analytics have been in vogue for years, advances in processing RWE – in combination with RCTs via data science, machine/deep learning, and advanced analytics – are creating new value for Pharma companies across the board – not just in R&D and pharmacovigilance but also extending into economic value, sales & marketing, affordable therapies, and patient outcomes.

More importantly, with the success of these analytics and AI efforts, we will see an increasing appetite for more types of RWE – beyond EMRs, all-claims, and commercial data sets – into patient-reported experiences, wearables, at-home devices, and implants.

Creating value at scale and achieving lasting impact is important, doable, and repeatable. This presentation will provide practical recommendations on how to put this tsunami of RWE and data variety to work using the IMPACT framework.

We will conclude with a discussion of representative use cases that pharma and biotechnology organizations can use to move the needle from a product focus to customized/personalized therapies, precision medicine, and population health.

• Dr. Guillaume Bataillon, oncologist at Institut Curie, a partner of the HealthChain project 

Federated learning is a new machine-learning paradigm where multiple partners can collaborate on complex research questions without centralising or sharing data outside of their organizations. This ‘collaborative machine learning’ approach enables data science teams to work on larger and more diverse datasets, previously inaccessible, boosting the predictive power of machine learning algorithms and enhancing AI capabilities. By overcoming privacy and confidentiality concerns, companies can build partnerships and consortia and retain their competitive edge. For example, the MELLODDY consortium pioneers federated learning-based drug discovery across 10 pharma companies benefiting from the collective insights of the world’s largest cheminformatics data network where each participant retains full confidentiality and governance over their molecular libraries.
Federated learning in healthcare can also facilitate knowledge transfer between medical researchers and data scientists, bridging the gap between AI and clinical care. The HealthChain project is a successful demonstration that an algorithm can be trained on siloed histology images, distributed across different hospitals, to predict treatment responses in breast cancer. Together with clinical, research and technology partners we demonstrated improved robustness and performance of the technology over locally trained algorithms. With the platform deployed and used reliably in a production environment, the stage is set for further collaborative research projects and eventually clinical applications in cancer, heart failure and other therapeutic areas.

Artificial Intelligence in Drug Discovery – What is Realistic, What are Illusions?

Although artificial intelligence (AI) has had a profound impact on areas such as image recognition, comparable advances in drug discovery are rare. We will discuss the stages of drug discovery in which improvements in the time taken, success rate or affordability will have the most profound overall impact on bringing new drugs to market. Changes in clinical success rates will have the most profound impact on improving success in drug discovery; in other words, the quality of decisions regarding which compound to take forward (and how to conduct clinical trials) are more important than speed or cost. Although current advances in AI focus on how to make a given compound, the question of which compound to make, using clinical efficacy and safety-related end points, has received significantly less attention. As a consequence, current proxy measures and available data cannot fully utilize the potential of AI in drug discovery, in particular when it comes to drug efficacy and safety in vivo. Thus, addressing the questions of which data to generate and which end points to model will be key to improving clinically relevant decision-making in the future.

How Synthetic Data Is Unlocking a Decade's Worth of Clinical Trial Data to Power a New Era of Drug Development

Historic clinical trial data (HCT) is emerging as an important source of evidence across clinical development. Data from past trials is often superior to real-world data from EMR records etc. as it is more structured, complete, 100% traceable and contains the typical endpoints and covariates captured in a clinical trial. Regulators have lately been supportive of the use of HCT data with both the FDA and EMA approving hybrid trials: phase 3 trials where patients from the control arm have been replaced by synthetic patients from past trials. This talk will explore methodologies and use cases for Synthetic Patients - 'digital twins' of real patients that replicate their behavior to a very high degree. Synthetic Patients enable easy sharing of patient-level data without risk of subject-level or sponsor disclosure while allowing data scientists to mine deep insights on patient characteristics and behavior.

AI/ML Webinar: AI Tools for Drug Design - AutoDesigner, a De Novo Design Algorithm

The lead optimization stage of a drug discovery program generally involves the design, synthesis, and assaying of hundreds to thousands of compounds. The design phase is usually carried out via traditional medicinal chemistry approaches and/or structure-based drug design (SBDD) when suitable structural information is available. Two of the major limitations of this approach are (1) difficulty in rapidly designing potent molecules that adhere to myriad project criteria, or the multiparameter optimization (MPO) problem, and (2) the relatively small number of molecules explored compared to the vast size of chemical space. To address these limitations we have developed AutoDesigner, a de novo design algorithm.

Generative Therapeutics Design: Accelerating Drug Discovery with AI and Machine Learning

The application of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) methods in drug discovery are maturing and their utility and impact is likely to permeate many aspects of drug discovery. Numerous methods, however, utilize structure-activity relationship (SAR) data without explicit use of 3D structural information of the ligand protein complex. Gilead is using BIOVIA’s Generative Therapeutics Design (GTD) method to take advantage of 3D structural models, i.e. pharmacophoric representation of ligand protein interaction as well as typical docking/scoring steps. Using Gilead’s SAR data set pertaining to the discovery of spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) inhibitors Entospletinib and Lanraplenib they found that common types of problems in medicinal chemistry can be effectively addressed via GTD.

How Important is Subject Matter Expertise in Life Sciences When Using Technology and Artificial Intelligence?

Sponsored Event

With recent developments in technology, and the accessibility of artificial intelligence models, one must consider the importance of subject matter expertise in ensuring these are used in the most applicable and accurate settings. Further highlighted during a recent well-documented chatbot unveiling, even incredibly well funded efforts can provide factual errors that will only be spotted by such experts. This expert input is even more important in the highly ambiguous, synonymous and complex domain of life sciences. Here, we cover the importance of such expertise in the development, fine-tuning as well as application of, technologies, including artificial intelligence, in the life sciences – also touching on how these can impact end users.

Generative Therapeutics Design: Accelerating Drug Discovery with AI and Machine Learning

The application of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) methods in drug discovery are maturing and their utility and impact is likely to permeate many aspects of drug discovery. Numerous methods, however, utilize structure-activity relationship (SAR) data without explicit use of 3D structural information of the ligand protein complex. Gilead is using BIOVIA’s Generative Therapeutics Design (GTD) method to take advantage of 3D structural models, i.e. pharmacophoric representation of ligand protein interaction as well as typical docking/scoring steps. Using Gilead’s SAR data set pertaining to the discovery of spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) inhibitors Entospletinib and Lanraplenib they found that common types of problems in medicinal chemistry can be effectively addressed via GTD.

Playing FAIR with AI

Sponsored by SciBite

Technological advancements exhibit varying degrees of longevity. Some are tried and trusted, enduring longer than others, more often when applied strategically to address tangible business challenges. Conversely, certain technologies succumb to fleeting hype without attaining substantive fruition. A constant, in this dynamic landscape is the data.

To harness the full potential of cutting-edge technologies, it is imperative to have your house, or more specifically, your data, in order. Here, we discuss the importance of foundational data management and the role of FAIR in enabling organisations, specifically within the life sciences, are agile enough to adapt to, and make use of, state-of-the-art technologies.

We will specifically discuss how the SciBite FAIR factory can be used to enable the application of large language models (LLMs) to democratise scientific data, and expedite the extraction of insight.

Generating Evidence-Based Hypothesis with AI-Powered Knowledge Graphs

Within the life sciences, the necessity for evidence-based decision making is clear, where
wrong decisions could result in dire consequences. In the rapidly evolving landscape of
artificial intelligence (AI), knowledge graphs have emerged as pivotal resources for artificial
intelligence tools and agents, offering a structured and scalable way to access a wealth of
explicit and implicit knowledge and thus expedite the generation of hypothesis. By
synthesizing information from diverse sources and integrating ontologies, these graphs
facilitate a level of interoperability and scalability that is critical for the development of
intelligent systems, particularly within the domain of life sciences. This presentation will
introduce some of the approaches SciBite is taking to enhance and leverage knowledge
graphs in the context of AI, including:

• Create and enrich semantic networks by applying cutting edge AI-tools on top of our
  industry leading NER tools
• Support use case specific queries and analysis with fine-tuned vocabularies and
  edge embeddings
• Using generative AI to let users talk to the knowledge graphs and get sensible
  human-readable answers

Through this talk, we aim to showcase how cutting-edge techniques not only refine the
structure and utility of knowledge graphs but also open new avenues for their application in
AI-driven research and development.

Copyright Implications for AI Systems: Considerations for Governance and Risk

The rapid growth and adoption of AI technologies have tremendous promise to drive innovation and improve operational efficiency, particularly if the risks can be managed. There are many risks, including those related to the mass consumption of copyrighted works, which is at the heart of AI systems that rely on them. In many of these systems, copyrighted content is copied, stored, and can be reproduced, analyzed, and used to create summaries, classifications, and additional works.

This event will provide insight on how copyrighted materials are retained and reused in AI systems,
including large language models. Our expert speakers will discuss the copyright implications, the legal risks, and the role of licensing as an integral part of a comprehensive AI governance, risk, and
compliance program.
