Advera Health Analytics Launches Clinical Meta-Analysis in Evidex Platform
Powered by Advera's proprietary 14,000+ clinical trial safety results database, new cloud-based analytic replicates costly meta-analysis studies.
SANTA ROSA, Calif., July 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Advera Health Analytics, Inc., a global leader in pharmacovigilance software, analytics, and data at the leading edge of drug safety science, today announced the launch of Clinical Meta-Analysis in Evidex®. This new analytical tool allows drug safety, epidemiology, and medical affairs departments of all sizes to perform on demand meta-analyses of safety issues using a cloud-based software-as-a-service platform.
The proprietary Advera Clinical Evidence database powers the new analytic tool and is backed by the results of 14,000+ randomized clinical trials. This allows users to quickly and seamlessly determine the pooled adverse event rates, odds ratios and p values for safety issues of interest.
These rates can be determined for specific drugs, drug combinations, or for a list of drugs within a class, indication or mechanisms of action. Adverse events rates can be aggregated at MedDRA defined system organ class (SOC), standardized medical query (SMQ), or preferred term (PT) levels. These customized results help to characterize and determine expectedness of adverse events, better understand the safety market landscape, and quickly hypothesize potential safety differentiators.
The Advera Clinical Evidence database is a first-of-its-kind safety focused clinical trial outcomes database, only available in Evidex. It contains the safety outcomes and adverse events from over 14,000 clinical trials, sourced from ClinicalTrials.gov and supplemented with results from published studies and poster presentations at medical conferences. The data are collected via a combination of natural language processing (NLP) and AI-enabled human curators.
"We're very excited to launch the Clinical Meta-Analysis tool," said Robert Kyle, Chief Product Officer of Advera Health Analytics. "Traditionally, safety related meta-analyses have been costly, taken significant time to produce and can often miss relevant studies. With today's launch of Clinical Meta-Analysis in Evidex, users can now run complex searches of safety issues using intuitive Boolean connectors with a few clicks of the mouse. This will save our clients significant time and cost before choosing to conduct a full-fledged study."
In addition to replicating meta-analysis studies, with the launch of the Clinical Meta-Analysis capability, Evidex users can combine the results with data from spontaneous reporting databases like the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), the Uppsala Monitoring Centre's VigiBase, or a client's internal global safety database in a single platform. It creates efficient signal detection, validation, and assessment procedures further freeing up time and resources.
