Session 13: Innovations in Safety Signal Detection and Causality Assessment: From Knowledge Graphs to Best Practices

Session Chair(s)

President, Covilance LLC, United States

This session will cover several topics pertaining to the identification and evaluation of safety signals. One presentation will discuss a multimodal data product approach using a knowledge graph (KG) to enhance signal detection. FDA has previously released their FDA Medical Queries (FMQ) concept. Now PhUSE has published a best practices document for the use of adverse event term groupings that will be reviewed. Having then identified a safety signal, an evaluation is conducted to seek evidence supporting a causal relationship. The final presentation will review various methodologies for conducting a causality assessment.

Learning Objective :
  • Describe how a Knowledge Graph integrates diverse structured and unstructured data sources for signal detection and its role in developing machine learning algorithms
  • Recognize the PhUSE recommendations for the use of AE term groupings in signal detection
  • Discuss the various approaches to considering evidence in support of a causal relationship between the drug and an adverse event
