The Record... (cont'd)
Ric,
I see there are many ways to obtain specific licensing information, depending on the status and country you are interested in. This will prove very helpful.
Now I have a more scientific question.
I need therapeutic results as they relate to the mechanism of action. Any possibility of getting this?
Thanks,
Sharon
Keywords and corresponding codes are assigned to each Pharmaprojects record to indicate the therapeutic activity of the product described. This database also has a "linking" field to link the relevant pharmacological activity code and development status for each therapeutic category code assigned to a product profile.
For example, if I want to find out what symptomatic antidiabetic (A10C) products are in phase I clinical trials specifically for diabetic neuropathies, I can use the linking field.
Linking will ensure that the search does not include products in phase I for another therapeutic activity but which are in a lower stage of development for diabetic neuropathies. You also avoid missing data on products in phase I for diabetic neuropathies but launched for another indication.
We'll look first at the coding in this database and then answer Sharon's question.
Pharmaprojects contains therapeutic class codes and pharmacological coding. I'll make sure to send this to Sharon too.
- Therapeutic Class Codes: Pharmaprojects bases its indexing on the use of the European Pharmaceutical Market Research Association (EPhMRA) anatomic/therapeutic classification scheme but with variations. Because Pharmaprojects has introduced a separate classification scheme for pharmacological action, it does not use EPhMRA codes that incorporate mechanism of action.
Tip 3-10 - Pharmacological Action: This field contains pharmacological classification, hierarchical for each drug with both primary and secondary activities being coded. The code is designed to locate mechanisms of action of pharmaceutical compounds. Tip 3-11
- Indications: This field contains the disease or specific condition for which a drug is being developed. Indication can also be used as a linked field to link a particular indication with a particular status. For example you could use this to find all drugs that are in Phase II trials for breast cancer, regardless of the status they have reached for other indications.
