System and method for managing clinical trials data

A method of managing clinical trials data, wherein the method includes using a computer system, wherein the method comprises:

• identifying a set of clinical trials, wherein the set of clinical trials comprises clinical trials having a relation therebetween;
• extracting clinical trials data from existing data sources, wherein clinical trials data comprises clinical trial entries of each of the clinical trials in the set of clinical trials;
• classifying the clinical trial entries into one or more predefined classes;
• comparing the clinical trial entries in each of the one or more predefined classes, to identify similarity or dissimilarity between the clinical trial entries in a predefined class,
• wherein upon identification of similarity between clinical trial entries in the predefined class, one of the similar clinical trial entries is stored in a first aggregated clinical trial entry corresponding to the predefined class;
• and
• wherein upon identification of dissimilarity between clinical trial entries in the predefined class, the dissimilar clinical trial entries are stored in a second aggregated clinical trial entry corresponding to the predefined class;
• compiling the first and second aggregated clinical trial entries to obtain class-specific clinical trial entries corresponding to each of the one or more predefined classes;
• and
• collating class-specific clinical trial entries corresponding to each of the one or more predefined classes to obtain an aggregated clinical trial.

A computer readable medium, containing program instructions for execution on a computer system, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform method steps for managing clinical trials data, the method comprising the steps of:

• identifying a set of clinical trials, wherein the set of clinical trials comprises clinical trials having a relation therebetween;
• extracting clinical trials data from existing data sources, wherein clinical trials data comprises clinical trial entries of each of the clinical trials in the set of clinical trials;
• classifying the clinical trial entries into one or more predefined classes;
• comparing the clinical trial entries in each of the one or more predefined classes, to identify similarity or dissimilarity between the clinical trial entries in a predefined class,
• wherein upon identification of similarity between clinical trial entries in the predefined class, one of the similar clinical trial entries is stored in a first aggregated clinical trial entry corresponding to the predefined class;
• and
• wherein upon identification of dissimilarity between clinical trial entries in the predefined class, the dissimilar clinical trial entries are stored in a second aggregated clinical trial entry corresponding to the predefined class;
• compiling the first and second aggregated clinical trial entries to obtain class-specific clinical trial entries corresponding to each of the one or more predefined classes;
• and
• collating class-specific clinical trial entries corresponding to each of the one or more predefined classes to obtain an aggregated clinical trial.
