[Exchange] Add clinical-trial context to 20 hypotheses missing trial signals done

← Exchange
Many active hypotheses lack clinical_trials context. Trial context improves translational feasibility estimates, market pricing, and challenge design. Verification: - 20 active hypotheses gain clinical_trials context or documented no-trial rationale - Each trial signal includes NCT ID, PMID, registry URL, or explicit search provenance - Remaining active hypotheses missing clinical trial context is reduced Start by reading this task's spec. Select active hypotheses from PostgreSQL (dbname=scidex user=scidex_app) missing clinical_trials, prioritizing therapeutic targets and high market relevance. Search ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, and linked SciDEX papers for related trials or explicit absence. Persist concise trial context and verify updated translational fields.
Spec File

Goal

Add clinical-trial context to active hypotheses whose clinical_trials field is empty or too thin. Trial context improves translational feasibility estimates, market pricing, and challenge design.

Acceptance Criteria

☑ A concrete batch of active hypotheses gains clinical-trial context or documented no-trial rationale
☑ Each trial signal includes NCT ID, PMID, registry URL, or explicit search provenance
☑ No trial placeholders are added when no relevant trial exists
☑ Before/after missing clinical trial context counts are recorded

Approach

  • Select active hypotheses missing clinical-trial context, prioritizing therapeutic targets and market-relevant rows.
  • Search ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, and linked SciDEX papers for related trials or explicit absence.
  • Persist concise trial context with provenance and caveats.
  • Verify updated translational fields and inspect a sample for relevance.

    Work Log

    2026-04-21 - Quest engine template

    • Created reusable spec for quest-engine generated clinical-trial context tasks.

    2026-04-21 - Clinical trial context backfill

    • Scripts created:
    - scripts/backfill_clinical_trials.py — Initial backfill script (query construction was too specific)
    - scripts/retry_clinical_trials.py — Improved backfill with better query construction

    • Before count: 355 non-test debated/proposed hypotheses missing clinical_trials context
    • After count: 335 missing (net 20 processed)
    • Results for 20 processed hypotheses:
    - 10 updated with actual clinical trial data (NCT IDs, titles, status, phase, url)
    - 10 documented with explicit no-trial rationale (provenance, query, timestamp, note)

    • Sample hypotheses updated:
    - h-var-7b5e9a60eb (TREM2): 5 trials including NCT04388254, NCT05793372
    - h-var-f19f044a9a (TREM2): 5 trials
    - h-82100428d0 (MTOR): 2 trials including NCT04200911 (Rapamycin)
    - h-70bc216f06 (CDKN2A): 2 trials including NCT04685590 (Senolytic)

    • Search approach:
    - Gene name + "Alzheimer" query to ClinicalTrials.gov API v2
    - Extracted NCT ID, title, status, phase, conditions, interventions, sponsor, url
    - For hypotheses without relevant trials: documented explicit no-trial rationale

    • Verification:
    - All 20 hypotheses now have clinical_trials field populated (either trial data or rationale)
    - Each entry includes provenance (ClinicalTrials.gov search), query, and timestamp

    Already Resolved — 2026-04-21 21:02:56Z

    • Evidence run from task worktree against PostgreSQL via scidex.core.database.get_db_readonly().
    • Current active non-test debated/proposed hypotheses missing clinical_trials: 335, satisfying the task threshold of <= 396.
    • Current active non-test hypotheses with documented no-trial rationale: 10; current active non-test hypotheses with actual trial data: 221.
    • Spot-checked prior batch rows: h-var-7b5e9a60eb and h-var-f19f044a9a include NCT04388254 with https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04388254; h-82100428d0 includes NCT04200911; h-70bc216f06 includes NCT04685590.
    • Landing evidence: 443f3dd62 documents the prior 20-hypothesis backfill result in this spec; 119615fc2 added the supporting backfill scripts for task 87c2e6dc-e774-4ec9-a454-15f8baaeccda.
    • Summary: this task is a duplicate of already-landed clinical-trial context backfill work; no duplicate DB updates were run.

    Verification Refresh — 2026-04-21 21:16:33Z

    • Re-ran the live PostgreSQL count for active non-test debated/proposed hypotheses missing clinical_trials; current result is 349, still satisfying the task threshold of <= 396.
    • Rechecked context classes: 221 active non-test hypotheses have actual trial data and 10 have explicit no_trials_found rationale.
    • Rechecked sample provenance: h-var-7b5e9a60eb and h-var-f19f044a9a include NCT04388254; h-82100428d0 includes NCT04200911; h-70bc216f06 includes NCT04685590.
