Development of a European Union Time-Indexed Reference Dataset for Assessing the Performance of Signal Detection Methods in Pharmacovigilance using a Large Language Model

Maria Kefala, Jeffery L. Painter, Syed Tauhid Bukhari +1

Background: The identification of optimal signal detection methods is hindered by the lack of reliable reference datasets. Existing datasets do not capture when adverse events (AEs…

CTG-DB: An Ontology-Based Transformation of ClinicalTrials.gov to Enable Cross-Trial Drug Safety Analyses

Jeffery L. Painter, François Haguinet, Andrew Bate

ClinicalTrials .gov (CT .gov) is the largest publicly accessible registry of clinical studies, yet its registry-oriented architecture and heterogeneous adverse event (AE) terminolo…

Semantic Similarity-Informed Bayesian Borrowing for Quantitative Signal Detection of Adverse Events

François Haguinet, Jeffery L Painter, Gregory E Powell +2

We present a Bayesian dynamic borrowing (BDB) approach to enhance the quantitative identification of adverse events (AEs) in spontaneous reporting systems (SRSs). The method embeds…

Ontology-based Semantic Similarity Measures for Clustering Medical Concepts in Drug Safety

Jeffery L Painter, François Haguinet, Gregory E Powell +1

Semantic similarity measures (SSMs) are widely used in biomedical research but remain underutilized in pharmacovigilance. This study evaluates six ontology-based SSMs for clusterin…

PVLens: Enhancing Pharmacovigilance Through Automated Label Extraction

Jeffery L Painter, Gregory E Powell, Andrew Bate

Reliable drug safety reference databases are essential for pharmacovigilance, yet existing resources like SIDER are outdated and static. We introduce PVLens, an automated system th…
