Readability Optimization of Layperson Summaries in Urological Oncology Clinical Trials: Outcomes from the BRIDGE-AI 8 Study.

ABSTRACT: Accessible health information is essential to promote patient engagement and informed participation in clinical research. Brief summaries on ClinicalTrials.gov are indented for lay people; however they are often written at a reading level that is too advanced for the public. This study evaluated the performance of a Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI)-powered tool-Pub2Post-in producing readable and complete layperson brief summaries for urologic oncology clinical trials. Twenty actively recruiting clinical trials on prostate, bladder, kidney, and testis cancers were retrieved from ClinicalTrials.gov. For each, a GAI-generated summary was produced and compared with its publicly available counterpart. Readability indices, grade-level indicators, and text metrics were analyzed alongside
