Simulated targeted therapy clinical trial adverse event dataset featuring characteristic targeted therapy toxicities, early onset patterns, and class-specific effects. Designed to test targeted therapy safety analysis, mechanism-based toxicity profiling, and kinase inhibitor safety monitoring typical in precision oncology.

Usage

Details

This dataset simulates targeted therapy safety data with characteristic class effects, early onset patterns, and mechanism-based toxicity profiles. It reflects real-world targeted therapy safety experience including kinase inhibitor effects, EGFR inhibitor toxicities, and angiogenesis inhibitor-related events.

Clinical Context:

  • Targeted therapy trial comparing monotherapy vs combination

  • 200 patients with targeted therapy-specific toxicity focus

  • 24 mechanism-based adverse events

  • Early onset patterns typical of targeted agents

  • Class-specific toxicity distributions

Targeted Therapy-Specific Adverse Events:

  • Gastrointestinal: Diarrhea, Mucositis, Nausea, Vomiting

  • Dermatologic: Rash, Acneiform rash, Paronychia, Dry skin, Hand-foot syndrome

  • Constitutional: Fatigue, Decreased appetite

  • Cardiovascular: Hypertension, QT prolongation

  • Vascular: Bleeding, Thrombosis, Proteinuria

  • Hepatic: Elevated transaminases, Hyperbilirubinemia

  • Pulmonary: Pneumonitis, Interstitial lung disease

  • Other: Peripheral edema, Pleural effusion, Muscle spasms, Arthralgia

Key Features:

  • Early onset patterns characteristic of targeted agents

  • Higher frequency of dermatologic and GI toxicities

  • Cardiovascular effects typical of angiogenesis inhibitors

  • Appropriate grade distributions for each toxicity class

  • Realistic incidence rates based on clinical experience

Recommended Analysis Scenarios:

  • Targeted therapy toxicity profiling

  • Class effect identification and analysis

  • Early vs late onset toxicity patterns

  • Dermatologic toxicity monitoring

  • Cardiovascular safety assessment

  • Dose modification analysis
