System for forecasting outcomes of clinical trials

A system for forecasting outcomes of clinical trials, comprising:

• at least one digital computer comprising at least one central processor unit;
• at least one coprocessor unit selected from the group consisting of programmable digital graphical processor unit and programmable analog processor unit and combinations thereof, in data communication with the at least one central processor unit to accelerate solution of statistical model differential equations by solving said equations with at least one signal processor;
• at least one interface software component in data communication with at least one central processor unit and the at least one coprocessor unit;
• at least one modeling software component having a simulation capability, the modeling software component having a first portion of software code executed by the at least one central processor unit and a second portion of software code executed by the at least one coprocessor unit, in data communication with the at least one interface software component;
• at least one integration software component having a first portion of software code executed by the at least one central processor unit and a second portion of software code executed by the said coprocessor unit, the at least one integration software component in data communication with the at least one interface software component;
• at least one partial derivative software component in data communication with the at least one integration software component;
• at least one historical clinical trial data component comprising the time course of at least one historical clinical observation, the historical clinical trial data component in data communication with the at least one modeling software component;
• at least one model data component specifying the time course of at least one clinical observation by at least one differential equation, the model data component in data communication with the at least one modeling software component;
• and
• at least one protocol data component specifying the characteristics of a population of subjects intended to undergo a clinical trial, the protocol data component in data communication with the at least one modeling software component.
