NEW episode! Drug development has never been more expensive, in terms of output per dollar spent. This trend, called Eroom’s law, is surprising, considering the incredible technological advances in drug discovery, from genome sequencing to engineering to microscopy. On a new episode of the Works in Progress podcast, Ben Southwood and I talk to Ruxandra Teslo 🧬 about why this has happened and what can be done about it. We discuss how: • AI isn’t a magic bullet for drug discovery. Predictive models lack the physical human data, like individual variation and rare side effects, that can only be generated by actually running real-world clinical trials. • As scientists invent more effective drugs, it becomes harder to discover new treatments that can surpass past successes. This is known as the "Better than the Beatles" problem. • Biotech companies are increasingly moving their "first-in-human" trials to Australia because its simpler regulations allow researchers to test drug safety faster and cheaper than in the US. • Clinical trials can be made more efficient with various reforms including: embracing platform trials, allowing researchers to select from independent ethics boards, expanding the funding and validation of surrogate endpoints, increasing transparency by releasing regulatory correspondence from failed companies, and much more.

Demis Hassabis, the Nobel Prize winner who runs Google DeepMind just described the most consequential project on earth, and most people have no idea it exists. The project is called Isomorphic Labs and the goal is to end the way drugs have been developed for the last century. Here is the problem it is trying to solve. Developing a single drug today takes an average of 10 years, costs billions of dollars, and fails 90 percent of the time before it ever reaches a patient. Of every 10 drugs that enter clinical trials, only one makes it through. The other nine years of work, the other billions of dollars, the other scientific careers, gone. Hassabis believes AI can collapse that entire process from identifying a disease target to designing a compound that binds to it, predicts how it behaves in the body, and minimizes side effects , end to end, on a computer, before a single experiment is run. The foundation is AlphaFold, the AI system that solved one of biology's hardest problems predicting the 3D structure of every protein in the human body and won him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2024. But knowing a protein's shape is only one part of designing a drug. Isomorphic is building what Hassabis describes as adjacent systems , AlphaFold 3, AlphaFold 4, and now a unified model called IsoDDE , that take the next steps. From designing the actual chemical compound that binds to the protein, predicting its binding strength, identifying new pockets to target that no one has ever found before. IsoDDE more than doubles the accuracy of AlphaFold 3 on the hardest protein-ligand prediction benchmarks that exist. Isomorphic is already running 18 to 19 live drug programs, cardiovascular disease, cancer, immunology in partnership with Eli Lilly, Novartis, and Johnson and Johnson. The first human clinical trial of a fully AI-designed drug is expected by the end of 2026. If that trial succeeds, it will be the first time in history that a drug put into a human body was designed not by a team of chemists working for a decade but by an AI working for months. Hassabis's long-term vision is even more direct, one day you describe a disease, click a button, and a drug blueprint comes out the other side. AI will solve almost all diseases within 10 years.

This year Demis Hassabis predicted AI could cure all disease in a decade. But Claus Wilke & Derek Lowe say biology is far more complex, or progress will be limited by clinical trials & economics. In a new 4hr episode of the Hard Drugs podcast, we answer: Will AI solve medicine and cure all diseases (within a decade)? We talk about drug discovery, virtual cells, the Human Genome Project, manufacturing, nanobots, innovative clinical trial design, and much more. AI is already being used in drug discovery, and there’s been a lot of progress predicting the structure of soluble proteins, tweaking proteins and designing new structures, as we’ve covered in previous episodes. But there’s still a huge gap in understanding protein dynamics and interactions, as there are many areas where measurement tools and data collection are limited, including events that happen in the span of milliseconds or microseconds, which is how fast many things occur in biological systems. And while computing has scaled exponentially with Moore’s Law, drug development has faced the opposite: Eroom’s Law, where innovation has gotten more complex and more expensive over time. Even with promising drug candidates, we talk about why human testing – not in animals or virtual cells – will continue to be vital, to test which ones are effective and safe, even though models will help earlier in the pipeline. Beyond that, large samples and long follow ups are needed to detect rare side effects, understand whether drugs cause long-term complications, and find ways to manage them. It’s hard to see AI getting around the desire for rigorous safety data in real humans. Another big challenge is the capital and expertise needed to produce and scale personalized medicines and complex biological products, surgeries, transplants, antibodies, and gene-editing tools, which have entirely different cost structures from small molecule drugs. Their manufacturing and delivery often require highly skilled staff and expensive, intensive, individualized procedures. Cost challenges are also severe for tropical and rare diseases, where the financial return to diagnose, do research, develop drugs, manufacture and deliver them at scale, is limited. Without philanthropic funding and economic growth, a lot of diseases are going to remain uncurable, and a lot of people are going to go untreated – whether that’s because of a lack of trust, poor economic and financial incentives, limited public health ambition, and policy. In one sense, we’re skeptical that AI can solve medicine on its own. But in another, there are many areas where we think AI can help. So the episode also functions as a roadmap to speed up medical progress and scale up the delivery of lifesaving medicines – with AI and other approaches to reform the pipeline. What are the economic incentives, innovative trial designs, and data collection efforts that can help drive further medical progress? And how does AI fit in? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Joe Rogan Is Shocked To Learn How Drug Trials Really Work... Before the actual trial starts, the participants are put on the drug for 6 weeks & then EXCLUDED from the trial if they have side effects from the drug! It Is Legal To Remove People Who Are Harmed & Not Report It. Pre-Randomization Run In Period: Before the actual trial starts, the participants are put on the drug for 6 weeks & then EXCLUDED from the trial if they have side effects from the drug! Clinical trials are structured to minimise the harms of the drug & show ONLY the results they want, in order to get FDA approval. This skews the entire end result of the trial data to only include participants who experienced no negative side effects from the drug. The act of excluding a large group of people from clinical trials after they have taken the drug for several weeks is not only legal, but it is an accepted practice. This results in study data that grossly underestimates the actual rate of side effects associated with statins. This explains why the rate of side effects in statin trials is wildly different from the rate of side effects seen in real-world experiences by patients. In The Heart Protection Study, 36,000 participants were removed during the "pre-randomization run in period," before the actual clinical trial began. Participants took 40mg Simvastatin daily for 6 weeks & then were removed from participating in the actual clinical trial. Unacceptable side effects were experienced by these 36,000 individuals. It is legal to label this in the trial data as "participant non compliance." In a clinical trial, a participant is labeled "non-compliant" when they experience adverse drug side effects that they deem too harmful to their health. Since they cannot continue taking the trial drug, they are kicked out of the actual trial, for not continuing the drug dose protocol rules. 👇Statin Wars: Real Evidence Of Harm👇 👇Adverse Events Reported As Non Compliance👇 Speakers: Dr Aseem Malhotra Cardiologist Joe Rogan Joe Rogan Experience
