Abstract

The Public Repurposing Index (PRI) 2.0 Strategic Enhancement and Operational Roadmap for Regulatory-Grade AI Drug Discovery AuthorBrewtanius Ink LLC · The CollectiveOS- Immortal Tek Abstract The Public Repurposing Index (PRI) 2.0 transforms a general data aggregator into a regulatory-grade hypothesis engine for rare-disease drug repurposing. Grounded in the BioLink Model for semantic interoperability, PRI consolidates curated evidence into a transparent knowledge graph compatible with federal research ecosystems. A geometric, rewired heterogeneous GNN—augmented by zero-shot ranking—prioritizes repurposing candidates and returns explainable rationales via Captum/GNNExplainer. PRI’s Context of Use (COU) is scoped to support preclinical prioritization and non-binding patient stratification proposals; outputs are accompanied by a credibility plan aligned to the FDA’s model-credibility framework, a digital thread from source data to receipt, calibration and uncertainty reporting, and continuous monitoring. A pilot on GSD1b (ORPHA:365) uses empagliflozin as a retrospective positive control and preregisters prospective hypotheses for expert adjudication. Emphasizing openness, metabolic specialization, and a public-utility funding posture, PRI 2.0 delivers auditable AI: not only ranked candidates, but a defensible evidence trail regulators and clinicians can evaluate. Executive Summary Problem. More than 30 million Americans live with one of 7,000+ rare diseases; roughly 95% lack an…

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
