AI agent ClinAgent improves access to clinical trial data

Researchers have developed ClinAgent, a conversational AI system designed to streamline access to clinical trial information. This ReAct-based agent utilizes retrieval-augmented generation to allow clinicians and researchers to query vast datasets using natural language. The system integrates tools for web searches, PubMed, and data analysis, and was evaluated using Gemini 3.0 Flash and two variants of DeepSeek V3.2. While DeepSeek (thinking mode) showed stronger planning capabilities, Gemini 3.0 Flash achieved superior overall performance and higher expert ratings, demonstrating the potential of AI agents in biomedical research.

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

    arXiv:2609.13860v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Querying clinical trial registries remains a manual and error-prone process, requiring researchers to navigate large volumes of semi-structured data without support for natural language interaction or cross-source synthesis. To addr…
