Towards understanding the disease landscape of clinical trials in Germany: Ontology and embedding-based pipelines versus Large Language Models for ICD-10 Harmonization

2026-08-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Clinical trials conducted in Germany are registered across multiple registries, including the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS), ClinicalTrials.gov , the EU Clinical Trials Register (EUCTR), and, since 2023, the Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS). These registries record health conditions using different classification systems and terminologies, including ICD-10-GM, MeSH, MedDRA,...
