Mount Sinai Launches AI-Powered Clinical Trial-Matching Platform to Expand Access to Cancer Research

The Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center (TCC) has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) platform to help connect more cancer patients across the Mount Sinai Health System to life-saving clinical trials. The platform, which was created by the AI company Triomics, is called PRISM, and is powered by Triomics' OncoLLM, a ​large ​language model​-based pipeline​ built especially for cancer care. As an early adopter of this new technology, Mount Sinai becomes the first National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in New York City to deploy this oncology-specific AI tool for systemwide clinical trial matching.

The deployment marks a major step forward in expanding access to innovative cancer research, accelerating clinical trial enrollment, and ensuring patients across the Health System are considered for cutting-edge treatment options earlier in their care.

"Clinical trials are essential to advancing cancer care, but too often patients and their treating physicians are not aware of studies that may be appropriate for them," said Karyn Goodman, MD, MS, Professor and Vice Chair of Clinical Research in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Associate Director of Clinical Research at TCC. "By deploying an AI platform trained specifically for oncology, we can identify trial opportunities earlier, more consistently, and more equitably, allowing clinicians to focus on meaningful conversations with patients rather than manual chart review."

Clinical trial matching is the process of determining which research studies a patient may be eligible for based on their electronic health records, diagnosis, medical history, and specific clinical characteristics. Traditionally, this work has relied on manual review of lengthy trial protocols and fragmented medical records, a time-intensive process that can sometimes delay or limit patient access to promising new therapies.

Historically, trial participation has been concentrated at flagship academic sites. With systemwide deployment, patients seen at Mount Sinai Queens, Mount Sinai Brooklyn, Mount Sinai South Nassau, Mount Sinai Morningside, Mount Sinai West, and other sites have the same accessibility to available trials as those treated at The Mount Sinai Hospital.

This initiative directly advances Mount Sinai's mission as an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, strengthening systemwide access to clinical trials, accelerating research integration across care settings, and supporting improved outcomes for the diverse communities it serves. By expanding the pool of patients who can be considered for research at the right moment in their care, Mount Sinai is positioned to meet, and potentially exceed, national benchmarks for trial participation.

The successful deployment reflects close collaboration among Triomics, TCC, and Mount Sinai Research IT, combining technical innovation, clinical leadership, and robust governance to bring clinical trials closer to the bedside. Mount Sinai plans to evaluate outcomes from this deployment and share findings through future peer-reviewed publications and national scientific meetings.
