PharmaPendium

Look ahead to determine the best drug development strategy

Challenges are inevitable on the path to regulatory approval of drug candidates. Successful drug development involves anticipating those challenges as early as possible.

Regulatory knowledge at your fingertips

Access to comprehensive drug safety information, drug metabolism, clinical efficacy data and drug approval documents helps researchers answer critical preclinical questions and increases confidence in drug development decisions. PharmaPendium provides comparative regulatory-based evidence in a single database, informing critical pre- and post-market drug safety activities. Users gain access to searchable FDA and EMA regulatory documents, including reports from the FDA Advisory Committee and FAERS (PDF, 549.0 KB), and to extracted pharmacokinetic (PDF, 0.464 MB), efficacy (PDF, 2.3 MB), safety and metabolizing enzyme and transporter (PDF, 0.661 MB) data. This empowers workflows that require users to:

• Find and export post-market safety data to augment PV reporting requirements
• Identify safety signals and drug-drug interaction concerns that become evident post-market
• Predict drug–drug interactions to ensure more effective risk management strategies
• Anticipate potential safety risks in both clinical studies and post-market

Access PharmaPendium through your own system with the Application Programming Interface

PharmaPendium supports the retrieval of drug safety, pharmacokinetic, metabolising enzyme and transporter, efficacy, chemistry and activity data through an application programming interface (API), enabling greater flexibility and access to information for high-throughput data retrieval and large scale analytics. The PharmaPendium API supports workflows that allow integration of PharmaPendium data into existing processes and with other data sources, generating additional insights to inform drug development decisions.

Example use cases include:

• Determining the likelihood of a preclinical toxicology event translating to the clinic: retrieve and analyse drug safety data across preclinical, clinical and post-market studies and reports
• Comparing internally generated exposure data with marketed drugs: compare with pharmacokinetic data on drugs sharing similarity in drug class, chemical structure, targets, etc.
• Better anticipating drug-drug interactions: retrieve metabolising enzyme & transporter data on DDI studies that have been tested, including positive and negative interaction results
• Identify drug repurposing opportunities: search efficacy data on drugs similar to the drug candidate for information on all endpoints tested for an indication

Comprehensive assessment of DDI risk

Drug–drug interactions (DDIs) can lead to severe side effects and have resulted in refusal of approval, prescribing restrictions, withdrawal from the market and, in extreme cases, deaths. Identifying and assessing the risk of DDIs is a priority during drug development to ensure patient safety as well as a comprehensive risk management strategy.

Quickly assess DDI risk

Translational and clinical research

Phase II efficacy-related clinical trial failure rates can be as high as 57%, driving pharmaceutical companies on a quest to improve outcomes. As clinical trials become more complex and costly, optimized study designs that take drug candidate efficacy and efficacy precedents into account are an essential part of risk mitigation.

Gain translational insights

Interoperability with Embase

PharmaPendium and Embase work together to provide streamlined and comprehensive information that better informs your risk management strategy. Searching for a drug in PharmaPendium triggers a matched search in Embase and linked access to relevant information from the biomedical literature.

Discover the Embase connection

Easy searching of FAERS

The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) is a valuable source of real-world evidence about post-market drug safety. The PharmaPendium FAERS Data functionality enables specific searching of FAERS to not only find reports, but also compare and visualize adverse events reported for a drug or group of drugs, helping users more easily identify co-morbidities or potential DDIs not evident during clinical trials.

What our customers say

The key to avoiding DDIs

Today, drug-drug interactions (DDIs) account for 3-5% of all reported adverse drug reactions. Find out how to best identify potential DDIs and assess their risk.
