AI systems claim to find new uses for old drugs, but their predictions are rarely tested fairly. Publish their cancer predictions in advance and score them against trial results.
Knowledge-graph and language-model approaches to repurposing (Every Cure, funded by ARPA-H; academic systems such as those built on Hetionet and Open Targets) generate ranked lists of drug-disease pairs, but their forward-looking accuracy in oncology is unknown because predictions are published selectively after the fact. The proposal is a public benchmark: each participating system deposits time-stamped ranked predictions for defined cancer indications; a neutral body scores them annually against subsequent randomised trial results and target trial emulations, and the repurposing fund preferentially trials candidates on which independent systems agree.
