Faithful by Design: Evaluating and Improving LLM-Generated Clinical Trial Summaries for Multi-Stakeholder Audiences
Short summary
This study benchmarks faithfulness of LLM-generated clinical trial summaries across GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Gemini 2.5 Flash for healthcare providers, patients, and payers. Unsupported claims were the dominant failure mode across all models. A knowledge-graph-augmented RAG system produced statistically significant faithfulness improvements (p<0.0001), with model-dependent improvement pathways.
- •200 clinical trials evaluated across three LLMs using a six-dimension faithfulness schema
- •Unsupported Claims identified as dominant failure mode (mean 1.55/3) across all models
- •Knowledge-graph-augmented RAG significantly improved faithfulness scores (entailment +0.0125, p<0.0001)
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
