Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for matching patients to clinical trials (CTs) within an information retrieval pipeline. Our objective is to enhance the process of patient-trial matching by leveraging the semantic processing capabilities of LLMs, thereby improving the effectiveness of patient recruitment for clinical trials.
