ClinicalReTrial is a multi‑agent AI system that treats clinical trial protocol optimization as an iterative redesign problem on textual documents. It combines failure diagnosis, safety‑aware modifications, and candidate evaluation within a closed‑loop, reward‑driven framework, using a predictive model as a simulation environment for low‑cost, dense feedback. The system achieves a 56.7% conversion of failed protocols to predicted successes, with a 7.4% average success probability increase at a negligible cost, and its redesign patterns align with real‑world expert changes.

GxP-Agent is a multi‑agent system that transforms clinical trial protocols into CDISC‑compliant datasets by encoding the regulatory workflow as a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Each node in the DAG represents a domain‑specific task executed by a worker agent with specialized skill context, validation gates, and conditional retry logic. On the CDISC‑Bench benchmark, GxP-Agent with Claude Sonnet 4.6 achieved a perfect 100 % structural match for 49 variables across 254 records, outperforming single‑agent and flat multi‑agent baselines and enabling weaker models like GPT‑4.1 to reach 59.2 % under the same DAG.

ClinAgent is a conversational system that uses a ReAct-based LLM agent to retrieve and synthesize clinical trial information from multiple sources such as ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, and a local dataset. The agent iteratively reasons over user queries, selects appropriate tools, and refines its actions to provide grounded, up-to-date responses in natural language across multi-turn interactions. Evaluation across three phases shows that DeepSeek (thinking mode) excels in planning quality while Gemini 3.0 Flash delivers the highest overall performance and expert ratings, demonstrating the promise of agentic AI for improving clinical trial data access.
