Preclinical Safety Assessment: Clinical Trial Pre-screening with Multi-turn Conversations and Prompts

Data Characteristics in This Domain

Preclinical safety assessment data primarily originates from various experimental sources, including toxicology reports, pharmacokinetic reports, pathological analyses, and genotoxicity tests. This data typically consists of unstructured text reports, supplemented by structured tabular data such as dose-response curves and biomarker levels. Data update frequency is relatively low, usually updating upon completion of experimental batches or research phases. Document structures vary, encompassing study protocols, raw data records, statistical analysis reports, and expert interpretations. Fields and units are highly specialized, for example, dose units like mg/kg, time points like h or day, specific pathological descriptors, and various biological indicator abbreviations. The data often contains numerous technical terms, abbreviations, and cross-document references.

Constraints on Multi-turn Conversations and Prompts Imposed by These Characteristics

The unstructured nature and high density of specialized terminology in preclinical safety assessment data demand robust semantic understanding from multi-turn dialogue systems to extract key information from complex texts. The low update frequency means knowledge base construction must prioritize long-term data validity and accuracy, reducing maintenance costs from frequent updates. Diverse document structures challenge knowledge base document parsing and chunking strategies, requiring flexible adaptation to different report formats. The specialized nature of fields and units necessitates precise prompt design to guide the model in identifying and processing this information, preventing erroneous judgments due to unit confusion or misinterpretation of terminology. During conversations, users may need to provide multiple experimental reports or data points for comprehensive analysis. This requires multi-turn conversations to effectively manage context and support users in navigating and querying across different documents.

Configuration Settings

Three Common Pitfalls

• The dialogue displays "Unable to find relevant toxicology data." This occurs due to an improper knowledge base chunking strategy, leading to key information being fragmented or incorrectly indexed.
• The model confuses different dose units or experimental time points in its responses. This happens when prompts do not explicitly emphasize unit identification and conversion, or when relevant fields in the knowledge base lack standardized processing.
• When a user requests a detailed interpretation of an experimental result, the model fails to provide in-depth analysis and instead simply repeats the original text. This is because maxContext is set too low, causing loss of multi-turn conversation history and preventing the model from forming coherent reasoning.

How to Verify Configuration

• Select three documents covering different toxicology report types (e.g., acute toxicity, subchronic toxicity, reproductive toxicity). Conduct multi-turn dialogue tests to verify the model's ability to accurately answer key metrics and conclusions.
• For fields in reports containing various units like mg/kg, μg/L, h, ask questions and verify the accuracy of units in the model's responses, ensuring no confusion or omissions.
• Simulate a user repeatedly changing focus or asking follow-up questions during a query. Check if the model maintains contextual coherence and accurately retrieves information from the knowledge base at different stages. Verify if the recall count meets expectations.
