Systems and methods for multivariate analysis of adverse event data

Abstract

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for multivarlate analysis of adverse event data. According to a first aspect, patient-specific genomic Information is used to optimize or de-risk therapy for the patient. According to other aspects of the invention, unknown drug targets are identified via adverse event data. According to still other espects, a medication is identified to exclude from use for an indication or from a clinical trial of another medication. According to another aspect, a predicted side effect profile is generated for a medication targeting a novel target. According to still another aspect, combination therapies are identified via adverse event data. According to another aspect, molecular interactions between a plurality of molecular entities are displayed in an intuitive format. According to still another aspect, molecular entities responsible for adverse event differences between similar indications are identified. According to still another aspect, genetic variants associated with adverse events in a clinical trial are identified.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a system that can analyze biomolecules and determine their interactions with each other. This information can be used to create personalized medicine that targets specific proteins or pathways in the body. The system can also identify which biomolecules are causing adverse reactions and suggest alternative treatments to reduce these reactions. Overall, this technology can help create safer and more effective drugs for patients.

Problems solved by technology

However, analysis of such data is typically limited to simple univariate analysis, such as rates of adverse events associated with a medication.

Such analysis may fail to examine other factors and associations between medications or relationships between molecular entities associated with the medications, such as target (and off-target) proteins, enzymes, transporters, pathways, drug classes, or other information.
