    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    AI arrived in drug development carrying a very large promise. Nindhana Paranthaman, Vice President of Early Clinical Development at Bicara Therapeutics, and Paul Agapow, Chief Scientific Officer at Bayezian, work on opposite sides of that promise and agree on more than the marketing would suggest. Paranthaman names the gains that actually arrived, all of them operational, and the one that did not: more drugs advancing into the clinic. Agapow explains why a trial completed inside a year is market

He told it that "I don't know" would have been better than lying, and stopped using it that day. That anecdote opens a conversation that escalates.

Jeremy Levin, who ran Teva Pharmaceutical Industries and sat on the executive committee at Bristol-Myers Squibb, has a specific answer about where the money went instead.
