Over 90% of drugs fail during clinical development, costing billions and leaving patients without life-saving treatments. Why does the pharmaceutical industry face such a high drug development failure rate, and how can artificial intelligence change the story?

In this episode, Vitalay Fomin, CEO and co-founder of Numenos AI, reveals how his team is rethinking clinical trials, biomarker discovery, and drug development with advanced AI technologies designed to predict patient response, reduce late-stage trial failures, and accelerate medicines to market.

Vitalay shares:

• Why traditional clinical trial design contributes to such high failure rates
• How AI can predict drug response across different cancers and diseases
• The importance of moving beyond binary “responder / non-responder” models
• How Numenos AI uses cross-disease data to uncover hidden treatment insights
• The role of AI in drug toxicity prediction and improving patient safety
• Why the pharma industry needs a mindset shift toward embracing novel technologies
• The potential of AI to reduce Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trial failures
• A case study: how Numenos AI predicted the failure of a major immunotherapy target (TIGIT)

This episode is essential listening for:

• Pharma executives and biotech leaders looking to cut R&D costs
• Clinical trial designers and data scientists in life sciences
• Healthcare innovators and AI in medicine researchers
• Investors in biotech, healthtech, and AI-driven drug discovery
• Patients and advocates who want to understand how AI can accelerate safe, effective treatments
