SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires tooluniverse.

What problem does it solve? Planning an early-phase clinical trial requires manually gathering epidemiology data, biomarker prevalence, precedent trials, safety signals, and regulatory precedents from dozens of disconnected databases, which is slow and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six-path feasibility research: Systematically queries OpenTargets, ClinVar, gnomAD, COSMIC, DrugBank, ClinicalTrials.gov, FDA, FAERS, and PubMed to size patient populations, validate biomarkers, select comparators and endpoints, plan safety monitoring, and map regulatory pathways. - Structured 14-section feasibility report: Produces a complete markdown report with enrollment funnel math, evidence grading (A-D), a weighted 0-100 feasibility scorecard, and a go/no-go recommendation. - Use Case: Ask whether a Phase 1/2 trial for an EGFR L858R+ NSCLC drug is feasible, and receive a report projecting ~2,600 eligible US patients per year, ORR endpoint precedent from prior FDA approvals, a Simon two-stage design, and an 82/100 feasibility score. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to assess the clinical trial feasibility of a drug and indication, for example osimertinib in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, and request the full feasibility report.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I assess clinical trial feasibility for a new drug indication?▼

Provide the indication, drug name, and target phase, and the skill runs six research paths covering patient population sizing, biomarker prevalence, comparator selection, endpoints, safety monitoring, and regulatory pathway. It outputs a 14-section report with a 0-100 feasibility score and go/no-go recommendation.

What data sources does clinical trial feasibility analysis use?▼

The analysis queries OpenTargets for disease data, ClinVar, gnomAD, and COSMIC for biomarker prevalence, DrugBank and FDA Orange Book for comparator drugs, ClinicalTrials.gov for precedent trials, FAERS for adverse events, and PubMed for epidemiology and regulatory literature.

How is the clinical trial feasibility score calculated?▼

The score is a weighted composite of five dimensions: patient availability at 30%, endpoint precedent at 25%, regulatory clarity at 20%, comparator feasibility at 15%, and safety monitoring at 10%. Scores of 75 or above indicate high feasibility, 50-74 moderate, and below 50 low.

Can this design biomarker-selected or rare disease trials?▼

Yes, it handles biomarker-selected oncology trials by cross-checking mutation prevalence across ClinVar, gnomAD, and COSMIC, and rare disease trials by evaluating orphan drug eligibility, natural history comparators, and multi-year enrollment projections.

Why does the feasibility analysis return empty results for some drugs?▼

DrugBank may not include very new or experimental compounds, and ClinicalTrials.gov searches can return limited results. This is a data availability limitation rather than a code issue, and novel compounds may score low simply due to lack of historical data.

What are the limitations of automated trial feasibility assessment?▼

The analysis depends on published and database evidence, so it cannot access proprietary enrollment data or unpublished FDA feedback. Pre-IND meetings and site feasibility surveys are still required to confirm projections before protocol development.
