Explore PersADE

A comprehensive resource for adverse drug event research, encompassing over 6,200,000 drug–ADE associations, more than 190,000 drug–ADE–protein associations, and over 11,500,000 patient reports.

About PersADE

PersADE is a newly developed, comprehensive online database platform specifically designed to integrate multidimensional information on adverse drug events (ADEs). Leveraging advanced data mining techniques, the database systematically collects, processes, and analyzes drug safety data from authoritative global sources, aiming to provide a robust and reliable foundation for pharmacovigilance and safety assessment.

The platform consolidates a vast array of drug safety data, including 4,061,772 personalized and 2,201,568 general drug–ADE associations, covering 10,235 compounds, 19,991 ADEs, and clinical data from 11,500,749 patients. A distinctive feature of PersADE lies in its integration of 200,457 drug–ADE–target associations, along with 31,756 ADE–protein associations and 6,980 human proteins, offering mechanistic insights into the molecular basis of ADEs. Moreover, the database includes detailed patient-specific medication data, covering 1,649,311 drug–ADE–route associations, 1,135,452 drug–ADE–formulation records, and key clinical parameters including dosage, age, sex, and body weight—enabling full-spectrum data integration from molecular mechanisms to clinical manifestations.

This innovative platform equips researchers, clinicians, and regulatory professionals with powerful tools for data retrieval, statistical analysis, and visualization. Users can not only explore drug–ADE relationships but also investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying adverse effects and perform individualized risk assessments based on patient-specific characteristics such as age, sex, dosage, formulation, and route of administration.

Research Applications

Clinical Safety Assessment

Healthcare professionals can utilize the database to assess the frequency, severity, and demographic distribution of drug-associated ADEs, supporting evidence-based treatment decisions and personalized risk-benefit evaluation.

Mechanism of Action Studies

Researchers can explore drug–ADE–target associations and ADE–protein linkages to uncover potential molecular mechanisms underlying adverse reactions, facilitating the development of mechanistic hypotheses and experimental validation.

Precision Pharmacovigilance

Clinicians and regulatory authorities can stratify ADE risks based on patient-specific factors such as age, sex, dosage, formulation, and administration route, enabling more precise post-market surveillance and safety optimization.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the data in PersADE curated and validated?

PersADE performs signal detection by calculating statistical measures such as ROR, PRR, and p-values, and cross-validates the identified drug–ADE associations with literature evidence and clinical expert review to ensure their reliability and clinical relevance.

Can I use PersADE data for commercial purposes?

PersADE is strictly for academic use only. Any commercial application requires explicit permission from our team. Please contact us at ytang234@ecust.edu.cn to discuss commercial licensing options.

How frequently is the database updated?

PersADE is updated on a quarterly basis to incorporate the latest data from our source databases. Major version updates, which include new features and expanded data sources, are typically released every 1-2 years.

How can I contribute data to PersADE?

We welcome contributions from researchers and institutions. If you have a dataset of drug-ADE associations that you would like to contribute, please contact our team with details about your data, including collection methodology, validation procedures, and any relevant publications. All contributed data undergoes rigorous review before integration.
