Abstract

Biomarkers have become cornerstones of modern drug development, improving assessment of both efficacy and safety of new molecules. Use of graphical data exploration can help to maximize information output from biomarker data and improve efficiency of the data analysis process. The chapter describes a systematic workflow for interactive graphical data exploration focusing on liver safety biomarkers as an example. Using interactive software, the workflow allows research and development teams to jointly explore their data, generate and test hypotheses, and identify the most suitable graphs for study reports or regulatory reporting.
