# TrialGPT Matching
Run the locally checked-out TrialGPT pipeline to retrieve, rank, and explain candidate trials for a patient before deeper eligibility review.
## Inputs
- Patient summary (structured JSON or free text) with condition keywords.
- Optional filters: geography, phase, intervention, biomarker.
- Up-to-date ClinicalTrials.gov dump or API access.
## Outputs
- Ranked trial table with NCT ID, title, score, and short justification.
- Parsed inclusion/exclusion text ready for downstream eligibility agents.
- Missing data checklist (e.g., "ECOG not provided").
## Workflow
1. **Setup:** `cd repo && pip install -r requirements.txt` (or reuse env).
2. **Trial retrieval:** Run TrialGPT retriever to pull candidate trials for the indication.
3. **Criteria parsing:** Convert eligibility blocks to structured criteria JSON.
4. **Patient profiling:** Summarize patient facts (labs, prior therapies, biomarkers).
5. **Ranking:** Execute TrialGPT ranking script to score each trial and emit explanations.
6. **Handoff:** Export ranked list + structured criteria for `trial-eligibility-agent`.
## Guardrails
- Refresh ClinicalTrials.gov metadata regularly to avoid stale trials.
- Label scores as AI-generated suggestions pending clinician validation.
- Retain prompt/config metadata for audit trails.
## References
- Detailed usage instructions and repo layout live in `README.md`.
- Coordinate with `Skills/Clinical/Trial_Eligibility_Agent` for criterion-level review.
