Patients and the public want to know what a study found. A plain language summary tells them simply. PharmAssist works inside Word. Choose the document type and add your source files. It lays out the document's outline, right in Word. Pick a section, and PharmAssist drafts it from your sources. Review the draft, then insert it into your document. You can also ask questions in chat. Answers come from your own files, and show which ones they used. From your sources to a draft in Word, ready for expert review. Book a demo at gentext.ai/pharma.
Can AI write a plain language summary of trial results?
Yes, as a draft for expert and lay review. PharmAssist drafts the summary from your approved study report and outputs in plain words, following the structure your template uses, for example the elements in Annex V of the EU Clinical Trials Regulation. Each statement cites the source, so reviewers can confirm that simple wording has not changed the meaning.
How this document gets written today
The EU Clinical Trials Regulation requires a summary for laypersons, and many sponsors also publish plain language summaries of publications. Writing simply about complex results without overstating them is hard.
Reviewers have to check every plain sentence against the technical source, and that is where the time goes.
