# AI-Powered Clinical Trials Galmed is Using AI to Conduct PSC Trials for Underserved Communities By Kanesa D | Published 2023-07-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galmed References: [clinicaltrialsarena](https://www.clinicaltrialsarena.com/news/galmed-onkai-ai/) & [galmedpharma](https://galmedpharma.com/)  Galmed Pharmaceuticals has entered a new partnership with OnKai to use [artificial intelligence (AI) models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-research-data-platform) to execute and include underserved communities in [clinical trials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clinical-acceleration). This project will begin with a Phase IIa trial, which will be conducted at Virginia Commonwealth University and will feature a detailed enrolment plan and five participation models. The first of the five models will be TrialBridge, a service that connects clinics with patients seeking specialists. Galmed will also make use of OnKai's [Smart-Grid AI Platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scope-ai), which will continually support the trial at local clinics. About 15 PSC patients will participate in the experiment and receive therapy for 24 weeks. The trial will also assess histological fibrosis, molecular assessment, and biomarkers of disease and fibrosis.
