● Now in private beta with 4 design-partner pharma teams

Medical writing,
sourced by construction.

AI-assisted authoring for pharmaceutical medical affairs — where every claim is pinned to its evidence, every reporting standard is enforced, and every export is MLR-ready. From the first draft to journal submission, on one auditable platform.

The problem

Generic AI doesn't ship in pharma.

The bottleneck in medical communications isn't drafting — it's verifying every claim, conforming to a dense set of regulated standards, and shepherding the document through five-to-fifteen rounds of MLR review. Generic writing tools make the first step faster and the rest worse.

Today, a typical Phase 3 manuscript
~80 deliverables across the publication plan, 5–15 MLR rounds per asset, 8 systems in the writer's daily workflow.
01

High evidentiary burden

Every factual claim — every p-value, every response rate, every safety statement — must be supportable from a citable source. Writers spend more time hunting references and re-checking numbers than drafting.

02

Regulated by construction

Reporting standards (CONSORT, PRISMA, STROBE, ARRIVE) prescribe exactly what must be reported and in what order. Journal styles, promotional codes (ABPI, EFPIA, PhRMA), and ICMJE / GPP 2022 author rules layer on top.

03

MLR review is the bottleneck

A single manuscript may pass through 5–15 internal Medical/Legal/Regulatory review rounds before submission. Most of those rounds re-litigate the same handful of source-attribution and fair-balance questions.

04

Asymmetric compliance risk

A single off-label or unsupported claim slipping through can trigger an FDA warning letter, an ABPI complaint, or worse. Reasonable people respond with conservatism — and conservatism scales as slowness.

What's different

Three load-bearing differences from a generic writing assistant.

01 / Grounding

Source-grounded by construction.

Every sentence generated by the platform is anchored to a span in your source set — a CSR page, a SmPC paragraph, an indexed publication. Unanchored assertions are flagged as "needs source" and physically cannot be exported.

"Median PFS was 14.2 months (95% CI 12.1–16.7) with zelidravir vs 6.8 months1."

02 / Compliance

Standards enforced as you write.

Off-label phrasing flagged against your label library. CONSORT, PRISMA and STROBE checklists generated automatically. ICMJE authorship, GPP 2022 disclosures and journal-style references handled as first-class data — never as a last-minute scramble.

03 / Audit

Built for the MLR cycle.

Reviewers see, per claim, exactly which source spans were retrieved. Every AI invocation, every author decision and every reviewer signature is captured to an immutable, 21 CFR Part 11-grade audit trail — without anyone having to remember to log it.

Product tour

One platform from first draft to journal submission.

No more juggling Word, EndNote, PubMed, SharePoint, Veeva and three statistical-output PDFs in tabs. Every step happens against the same evidence set.

The drafting surface, redesigned around the citation.

Compose long-form medical content with a serif-typeset editor that treats claims as first-class objects. Each claim carries category (efficacy, safety, statistical, mechanism), status, and the source spans that ground it. Highlight any sentence to invoke a retrieval-augmented rewrite — drawing only from the sources you've selected.

  • Source-only generation. The AI cannot draft from its own training data; only from your CSRs, labels, indexed publications and data on file.
  • Cite-as-you-go. Inline footnotes pop a source preview with the exact paragraph quoted.
  • Multi-author co-editing. Real-time presence with named comments and tracked changes per author.
  • Section templates. CONSORT-aligned manuscript skeleton, ICMJE structured abstract, congress-specific outlines.

Efficacy and safety of zelidravir plus dexamethasone in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma

MS-OM-0142 · Primary manuscript · NEJM · CONSORT 2010

Abstract — Results

At a median follow-up of 17.2 months, median PFS was 14.2 months with zelidravir + dex vs 6.8 months with dex alone (HR 0.41; P<0.0001)17. The overall response rate was 71.4% vs 49.8%1.

Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 62.1% of zelidravir-treated patients vs 41.0%1; the most common were neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and infections.

Introduction ¶3

Investigators also observed early evidence of activity in patients who had previously received BCMA-directed therapy ⚠ needs source.

The first MLR round on our zelidravir manuscript came back with fewer comments than the second round usually does. Half of the comments my reviewers used to leave are now resolved before the document leaves the writer's hands — because the writer can see the same flags I would have raised.
Compliance & security

Built to pass your security review, not to delay it.

Every assumption we made about authentication, audit trails, validation evidence and data residency comes from sitting with pharma IT, compliance and legal teams during scoping. We can hand over the documentation pack on day one.

FAQ

Things pharma teams always ask first.

No. Our agreement with every LLM provider includes a contractual no-training clause for customer content. Your source materials, prompts, generated outputs and retrieved spans are never used to train any model — frontier or otherwise. We can produce the relevant provider agreements as part of your security review.
Three layers. (1) Retrieval-augmented generation is the only way to produce text — the model is constrained to your selected source set and asked to refuse rather than freelance. (2) Every generated sentence is re-anchored to a source span by a separate verification pass; anchors that fail are surfaced as needs-source. (3) Numeric claims are independently checked against the cited source value before they ever appear in front of you. Unresolved claims block export.
No — and we don't intend to. PromoMats remains your system of record for MLR workflow and document management. medcomms-writer is the authoring and review surface that feeds it. Veeva integration is a P0 in our roadmap.
We develop under a validated SDLC and provide validation artefacts to enterprise customers under NDA — validation plan, traceability matrix, IQ/OQ/PQ summaries, change-control evidence and pinned-model regression suites. SOC 2 Type II audit is in flight; ISO/IEC 27001 follows within 24 months of GA.
EU, US and UK at launch. Single-tenant and on-prem deployments are available for enterprise customers with stricter residency requirements. All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Customer-managed keys available in the Enterprise tier.
Yes. External authors receive a secure guest link with scoped permissions. They can read, comment, approve and e-sign without a provisioned seat. ORCID is supported for identity attribution. We strongly recommend MFA for guests; SSO-federated guest identity is on the roadmap.
Primary manuscripts, review articles, congress abstracts, posters, oral slide decks, plain-language summaries, standard response documents, advisory-board briefings, MSL scientific decks, peer-review responses and letters to the editor. EU CTR Annex V lay summaries are supported via the PLS content type.
A reasonable monthly volume of AI generation, retrieval and translation is included in each seat tier. Volume beyond that is metered transparently per generation, per token of translation, and per similarity check. Most teams stay within the included monthly volume. Customer-supplied LLM (Azure OpenAI, Bedrock, on-prem) is available on the Enterprise tier — you pay your own model bill.
