Case Study: EEG Digital Biomarkers in Neuropsychiatric Clinical Studies

  • Thursday, February 15, 2024

Discover an informative webinar discussing digital biomarkers in neuropsychiatric trials, leveraging an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven platform for enhanced treatment outcomes. Drugs for psychiatric conditions suffer some of the lowest approval rates when compared to other major therapeutic areas. Underlying factors can include complex and poorly understood etiology, which are heterogeneous in presentation, and underlying pathophysiology. Additionally, traditional clinical studies fail to objectively assess cognitive function as part of patient eligibility criteria or stratify patients according to the presence or degree of cognitive impairment. Cognitive function assessments and electroencephalogram (EEG) enable the measurement of pharmacodynamic endpoints in early-stage, translational psychiatric studies, however many studies do not leverage these tools today.

What if teams could capture physiological and behavioral study data from a diverse group of patients on an ongoing basis both in the clinic and at home? Could companies improve their probability of success and escalate the discovery of the next breakthrough psychiatric treatment, all while streamlining study timelines and costs?

Attendees will learn about an AI-based, multi-domain digital biomarker platform to enable better, faster decision-making in neurology and neuropsychiatry clinical trials and patient care. The novel platform enables decentralized trials and is already used in the development of therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease, depression and schizophrenia.

Designed to provide an industry-wide standard for real-world measurements of disease progression, the platform captures large amounts of real-world, clinical data repeated over time. The data is collected across multiple behavioral and physiological domains in the patient’s home using an EEG headset synced to a novel, tablet-based neuro-assessment platform. Together with machine learning (ML) analytics and the world’s largest database of annotated, longitudinal, neurofunctional data, Cumulus simplifies and improves the robustness of neuroscience clinical trials to provide the best and most cost-effective assessment of CNS treatment outcomes.

Join this webinar to learn how to leverage neuroassessment platforms to advance novel therapeutics focused on neuropsychiatric conditions.
