Unlearn.AI is a San Francisco biotech-AI company that builds disease-specific machine learning models to generate digital twins of clinical trial participants - longitudinal predictions of how each patient would have fared on placebo. Folded into a statistical method called PROCOVA and a trial design called TwinRCT, the approach lets sponsors shrink control arms by up to a third, so more patients receive the experimental drug while trials reach answers faster. Founded in 2017 by physicists Charles Fisher, Aaron Smith and Jon Walsh, the company has raised about $130M and earned a first-of-its-kind EMA qualification for an AI-based method to reduce sample size in pivotal trials.
