Abstract

Clinical Study Reports (CSRs) constitute the final consolidation of findings from clinical studies and routinely include Pharmacokinetic (PK) results. To assist with PK results authoring, we developed a generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) based method that employs a hierarchical, chained large language model (LLM) framework with in-context learning to draft PK results directly from study Tables, Listings, and Figures (TLFs), with optional human input. Unlike traditional fine-tuning approaches, our method does not require large datasets or extensive compute, while producing outputs closely aligned with established CSR structure, tone, and analytical conventions using fewer than a dozen example reports. To assess performance, AI-generated reports and manually expert-written CSRs were evaluated in two blinded review sessions by clinical pharmacologists and pharmacometricians, focusing on relative bioavailability (rBA) and drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies. The AI-generated reports achieved an average reporting quality score of ~90% relative to the manually written CSRs. Together, these results demonstrate a practical, scalable solution for assisting PK report authoring in clinical studies, potentially reducing authoring time while maintaining high-quality standards.
