VirtualTrialHarness: Coordinating Agentic Operationalization of Virtual Trial Protocols Across Complex Clinical Schemas

Read the original on arXiv AI →

VirtualTrialHarness (VTHarness) is an agent framework designed to streamline the operationalization of virtual trial protocols by selecting reusable procedural skills for each workflow stage and using explicit contracts to ensure consistent study decisions. It introduces VTBenchmark for evaluating source selection and cohort construction, achieving 95.1% workflow success after requirement clarification versus 60.4% with a standard procedural corpus. The framework demonstrated improved source recovery across language models, increased overlap with analyst code in Mayo Clinic cases, and enabled reference‑matched cohort execution across multiple MIMIC‑IV tasks, supporting investigator review within the Mayo Clinic Virtual Trials Program.

ClinAgent: A ReAct-Based Agent for Conversational Access to Clinical Trial Information

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.
