Public Source Meta-databases for Modeling
The development of a new drug is a high risk and costly activity that involves multiple decisions and tradeoffs. Model-based approaches for combining proprietary data on a specific compound with literature data of its likely competitors offer powerful tools for managing risks concerning dose selection, efficient and effective trial design, and "go/no-go" decisions.
The FDA has a growing base of experience with literature modeling and model-based drug development, as part of its Critical Path Initiative.
Pharsight compiles therapeutic data and information from public-source scientific literature to provide a ready context for model based meta-analysis that can accelerate quantitative assessment of your compound's performance relative to competing treatments. Meta-databases provide a publicly available start point for modeling efforts to address specific drug development program questions.
Pharsight currently offers public-source meta-databases in the following areas:
