Stanford Researchers Named to Clinical Research Forum Top Ten List
March 2022: Dr. James Zou, Lead of the SAGE Center Methods Core, has received the Clinical Research Forum 2022 Top Ten Clinical Research Achievement Award in recognition of his study, “Evaluating eligibility criteria of oncology trials using real-world data and AI,” the results of which were published in Nature last year.
The study focused on using data science and artificial intelligence (AI) to design clinical trials, with a specific focus on making clinical trials more inclusive. “Trials frequently have pages and pages of eligibility criteria, which filters out a significant number of patients who would otherwise gain access to the latest treatments,” explained Dr. Zou. “These restrictions can also lead to the exclusion of female, minority, and older patients.”
