Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Clinical Trials: Overview

5.5K
Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

Clinical Trials

11.2K
Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
There are four phases in a clinical trial. A phase one...

Area of Science:

  • Natural Language Processing
  • Clinical Informatics
  • Data Privacy

Background:

  • Accessing unstructured clinical data from electronic health records (EHRs) is crucial for research.
  • Automated de-identification is essential for protecting patient privacy while enabling data access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate methods for identifying 25 types of Protected Health Information (PHI) in clinical narratives.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of automated de-identification for large-scale EHR data analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Combined knowledge-driven (dictionaries, rules) and data-driven (machine learning) approaches.
  • Utilized a large feature set for named entity recognition.
  • Implemented a two-pass recognition strategy with a patient-specific run-time dictionary.

Main Results:

  • Achieved micro F1-scores of 91% (strict) and 95% (token-level) on a test dataset of 514 narratives.
  • Successfully identified most PHI entities, with challenges in recognizing 'Organizations' and 'Professions'.

Conclusions:

  • Automated text mining methods can reliably identify personal information in clinical notes.
  • The proposed approach is a crucial step towards large-scale de-identification of unstructured EHR data for research.
  • Further refinement is needed for challenging entity types like organizations and professions.
