Improving Realism in Clinical Trial Simulations via Real‐World Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Simulation validity depends on how well sampling distributions used reflect real-patient characteristics, such as drug adherence, disease progression, and pharmacologic handling in the body. We challenge the current use of growth charts from nondisease-specific pediatrics in simulations for drug development. Complementary use of data from clinical trials and the real-world is expected to achieve a more realistic representation of clinical outcomes for decisions in drug development, regulatory approval, and health technology assessment.

Computer vision framework for adding CG Simulations
Rendering synthetic simulations into real world scenes is an important application of both Computer Graphics (CG) and Computer Vision (CV). CV techniques have been used to reconstruct the 3D models of the real world scenes. As part of my course project, I’ve implemented computer vision modules for calibrating camera, computing stereo, computing depth-maps, computing 3D models and a graphics int...

This paper proposes a novel computational framework for improving realism and fidelity of finite element analysis simulations through experimental test data. The proposed scheme utilizes an artificial neural network to learn and compensate for the differences between a finite element analysis model simulation and corresponding experiment. The proposed computational methodology is poised to sign...
متن کاملDosing considerations for rufinamide in patients with Lennox–Gastaut syndrome: Phase III trial results and real-world clinical data
PURPOSE Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), a rare, severe form of childhood-onset epilepsy, is difficult to control. Rufinamide is indicated for adjunctive treatment of seizures associated with LGS in adults and pediatric patients aged ≥1 year. In clinical practice, rufinamide dosing and titration may differ from the trial setting. Here, rufinamide clinical trial data are compared with real-world e...
متن کاملModel-driven Simulations for Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
The use of simulated virtual environments to train deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) is a currently active practice to reduce the (real)data-hungriness of the deep CNN models, especially in application domains in which large scale real data and/or groundtruth acquisition is difficult or laborious. Recent approaches have attempted to harness the capabilities of existing video games, anima...
متن کاملEffect of acceptance and commitment group therapy on benefit finding and adherence to treatment in breast cancer patients and survivors: A randomized clinical trial study
Introduction: The positive experience of life changes and the following treatment play a key role in adapting and improving breast cancer. It seems that acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps this issue via facilitating acceptance and clarification of values. Therefore, the current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ACT on the benefit and adherence to treatment in breast cancer...
