Comprehensive Drug Analysis (๐ฅ The Magic!)
// Cross-database analysis combining trials + literature + FDA data
const analysis = await comprehensiveAnalysis({
drugName: "pembrolizumab",
condition: "lung cancer",
analysisDepth: "comprehensive"
});
// Returns:
// - Risk assessment scoring
// - Market opportunity analysis
// - Competitive landscape
// - Strategic recommendationsClinical Trials Search
const trials = await searchTrials({
condition: "diabetes",
intervention: "metformin",
pageSize: 20
});
// Returns real-time data from 400k+ studiesFDA Drug Safety Analysis
const safety = await drugSafetyProfile({
drugName: "metformin",
includeTrials: true,
includeFDA: true
});
// Returns comprehensive safety analysis๐ Available Tools
