Study of serious adverse drug reactions using FDA-approved drug labeling and MedDRA
Background Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) are of great public health concern. FDA-approved drug labeling summarizes ADRs of a drug product mainly in three sections, i.e., Boxed Warning (BW), Warnings and Precautions (WP), and Adverse Reactions (AR), where

Predicting potential adverse events using safety data from marketed drugs
Background While clinical trials are considered the gold standard for detecting adverse events, often these trials are not sufficiently powered to detect difficult to observe adverse events.

When deep learning meets causal inference: a computational framework for drug repurposing from real-world data [PDF]
Drug repurposing is an effective strategy to identify new uses for existing drugs, providing the quickest possible transition from bench to bedside. Existing methods for drug repurposing that mainly focus on pre-clinical information may exist translational issues when applied to human beings. Real world data (RWD), such as electronic health records and

DROID: Dose-ranging Approach to Optimizing Dose in Oncology Drug Development [PDF]
In the era of targeted therapy, there has been increasing concern about the development of oncology drugs based on the "more is better" paradigm, developed decades ago for chemotherapy. Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initiated Project Optimus to reform the dose optimization and dose selection paradigm in oncology drug development ...

Graph Regularized Probabilistic Matrix Factorization for Drug-Drug Interactions Prediction [PDF]
Co-administration of two or more drugs simultaneously can result in adverse drug reactions. Identifying drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is necessary, especially for drug development and for repurposing old drugs. DDI prediction can be viewed as a matrix completion task, for which matrix factorization (MF) appears as a suitable solution.
