Simulation-augmented, Real-time Platform Adaptive Seamless Trials (SURPASS)
Solicitation # ARPA-H-SOL-26-164
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is soliciting proposals for the Simulation-augmented, Real-time Platform Adaptive Seamless Trials (SURPASS) program under solicitation ARPA-H-SOL-26-164. This five-year initiative aims to create a reusable blueprint for future adaptive seamless platform trials through the integration of three technical areas: a Phaseless Design Engine, Continuous Inference, and Agentic Operations. The program is divided into two stages, with Stage I focusing on capability buildout, FDA engagement, and the onboarding of at least three intervention arms over 24 months, followed by a 36-month Stage II dedicated to validation and deployment. A critical go/no-go milestone is obtaining FDA authorization for the platform Master Protocol IND and at least one investigational arm by the end of Stage I. The government intends to make multiple awards via Other Transaction Agreements to proposers offering the most advantageous solutions based on innovation, feasibility, and technical merit at reasonable prices. Eligible entities must possess a Unique Entity Identifier and active SAM registration. Proposals are submitted in a phased approach, beginning with a Solution Summary and potentially progressing to a Solution Pitch package. Performance will be measured by the successful integration of the three technical areas and the achievement of specific program metrics. All work must adhere to ICH E6(R3) Good Clinical Practice and strict regulatory standards to ensure inspection readiness and participant safety.
