Developing an Artificial Intelligence-Guided Signal Detection in the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS): A Proof-of-Concept Study Using Galcanezumab and Simulated Data.

Introduction: Time- and resource-demanding activities related to processing individual case safety reports (ICSRs) include manual procedures to evaluate individual causality with the final goal of dismissing false-positive safety signals. Eminent experts and a representative from pharmaceutical industries and regulatory agencies have highlighted the need to automatize time- and resource-demanding procedures in signal detection and validation. However, to date there is a sparse availability of automatized tools for such purposes.

A machine-learning guided method for predicting add-on and switch in secondary data sources: A case study on anti-seizure medications in Danish registries.

There is a lack of available evidence regarding the treatment pattern of switches and add-ons for individuals aged 65 years or older with epilepsy during the first years from the time they received their first anti-seizure medication because of the lack of valid methods. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an algorithm for identifying switches and add-ons using secondary data sources for anti-seizure medication users. Danish nationwide databases were used as data sources.
