AI-Driven Discovery of Dangerous Drug-Drug Interaction – View Presentation
Nicholas Tatonetti, PhD, FACMI, Cedars Sinai Medical Center
Dr. Tatonetti will discuss the application of AI and data mining algorithms to identify unexpected drug-drug interactions (DDIs), a significant yet understudied public health concern. By mining clinical data and utilizing machine learning methods, we discovered and validated two novel DDIs: paroxetine and pravastatin causing hyperglycemia, and ceftriaxone and lansoprazole associated with prolonged QT syndrome. These discoveries were corroborated using electronic health records and validated through laboratory experiments. The integration of informatics methods enables high-throughput and automated discovery processes, highlighting the potential of AI in biomedical research.

Networking Event
Activity Overview
The GOG Foundation, Inc. and GOG Partners welcomes gynecologic oncologists, oncologists, advanced practitioners (NP/PA/PharmD), and other clinicians who treat patients with gynecologic malignancies to join us for the Advanced Strategies in Ovarian Cancers: Exploring emerging therapies and sequencing strategies in accordance with NCCN Guidelines, an Industry Supported Symposium during the 2024 WAGO Annual Meeting.
This symposium is developed in collaboration between The GOG Foundation, Inc. and ImmunoGen.
Target Audience
The target audience for this activity is community and academic gynecologic oncologists, oncologists, advanced practitioners (NP/PA/PharmD), and other providers who treat patients with gynecologic malignancies.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the activities in this series, learners will demonstrate:
- Analyze and apply the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines to make informed decisions regarding therapies in the competitive ovarian cancer landscape, tailored to individual patient profiles and disease characteristics.
- Evaluate and construct optimal treatment sequences incorporating MIRV, HER2-targeted therapies, and other modalities, leveraging their synergistic potential to maximize treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.
- Assess the role of PARP inhibitors (PARPi) in the management of oncological diseases, including considerations for disease progression and implications for subsequent treatment strategies, enabling participants to develop evidence-based approaches for PARPi progression.
- Demonstrate an understanding of toxicity management, particularly ocular toxicities, and essential testing protocols associated with advanced oncology treatments, equipping participants with the skills necessary to monitor treatment efficacy and mitigate adverse effects effectively.
