  • Publication number: 20200051670
    Abstract: Predicting beneficial drug combinations mitigating adverse drug reactions identifies drug combinations and associated target adverse drug reaction from a spontaneous reporting system containing case reports of drugs and associated adverse drug reactions. Each drug combination comprises a first drug and a second drug, and a propensity score is computed for each drug in each group. This propensity score expresses a probability of being exposed to a given drug based on other co-prescribed drugs and reported indications, which reflect patient characteristics. Associations are computed for each drug as well as drug interaction. Among the associations, the sum of the associations of the second drug and the interaction effect represents the predicted beneficial score expressing whether the second drug alters the chance of developing the target adverse drug reaction for patients on the first drug.

  • Publication number: 20190050538
    Abstract: A method for predicting adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Structures represented in three-dimensions were prepared for small drug molecules and unique human proteins and binding scores between them were generated using molecular docking. Machine learning models were developed using the molecular docking features to predict ADRs. Using the machine learning models, it can successfully predict a drug-induced ADR based on drug-target interaction features and known drug-ADR relationships. By further analyzing the binding proteins that are top ranked or closely associated with the ADRs, there may be found possible interpretation of the ADR mechanisms. The machine learning ADR models based on molecular docking features not only assist with ADR prediction for new or existing known drug molecules, but also have the advantage of providing possible explanation or hypothesis for the underlying mechanisms of ADRs.

  • Patent number: 10181012
    Abstract: Systems and methods for data analysis include constructing patient traces as a set of medical events for each patient of a patient population, the patient population being segmented based on patient outcomes. Medical events in one or more of the patient traces are reduced to provide processed patient traces. The processed patient traces are clustered to identify a cluster of patient traces. A process model is mined, using a processor, representing an aggregation of treatment pathways in the patient traces from the cluster. Patterns from patient traces are identified that are discriminative of patient outcomes. At least one of the patterns is represented with respect to the process model to identify treatment pathways correlated with the patient outcomes.
