APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING DRUG EFFICACY USING HOLISTIC ANALYSIS AND VISUALIZATION OF PHARMACOLOGICAL DATA

摘要

Certain examples provide systems and methods for holistic viewing to provide comparative analysis and decision support in a drug development process. An example method includes a computer-implemented method for assessing drug efficacy, comprising: accessing a first data set related to the performance of a target drug for a given indication; accessing a second data set related to a control for the indication; comparing the data for the target drug and the data for the control on at least one of a plurality of different metrics using a holistic analysis, wherein the at least one metric corresponds to an outcome associated with the indication and generating a corresponding report. An example apparatus/system includes a holistic analysis and viewing system to support the assessment of drug efficacy, said system comprising: a standardizer to at least one of standardize and normalize data related to drug development; a deviation analyzer to analyze said data based on at least one of a plurality of different efficacy metrics, wherein a quantified variation between a first data set of results corresponding to an identified target drug and a second data set of results corresponding to a control, wherein said first data set of results is provided for comparison with the second data set of results and the deviation therebetween is compared to the at least one efficacy metric.
