LLMs translate clinical trial protocols into formal logic for "Symbolic Biomedicine"

Researchers have developed a new workflow called CT-TEL that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to convert unstructured clinical trial protocols into a formal logic representation known as Temporal Ensemble Logic (TEL). This approach aims to overcome the limitations of free-text documentation, which hinders automated reasoning and simulation in clinical trials. The CT-TEL workflow was applied to 23 real-world trials, and a back-translation evaluation indicated that LLMs can effectively map informal protocols to computable logic, supporting the emerging field of "Symbolic Biomedicine."

    Scaling Up Formal Representation of Clinical Trial Protocols in Ensemble Logic Using LLMs: A Preliminary Study

    arXiv:2607.21307v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The reliance on unstructured free text for documenting clinical trial protocols creates a significant barrier to automated reasoning, cohort discovery, and trial simulation. The lack of formal structure obscures critical temporal …
