AbstractMotivationExploring an exponentially increasing yet more promising space, high-throughput combinatorial drug screening has advantages in identifying cancer treatment options with higher efficacy without degradation in terms of safety. A key challenge is that accumulated number of observations in in-vitro drug responses varies greatly among different cancer types, where some tissues (such as bone and prostate) are understudied than the others. Thus, we aim to develop a drug synergy prediction model for understudied data-poor tissues as overcoming data scarcity problem.ResultsWe collected a comprehensive set of genetic, molecular, phenotypic features for cancer cell lines from six different databases. We developed a drug synergy prediction model based on deep neural networks to integrate multi-modal input and utilize transfer learning from data-rich tissues to data-poor tissues. We showed improved accuracy in predicting drug synergy in understudied tissues without enough drug combination screening data nor after-treatment transcriptome. Our synergy prediction model can be used to rank synergistic drug combinations in understudied tissues and thus help prioritizing future in-vitro experiments.Availability and ImplementationOur algorithm will be publicly available via https://github.com/yejinjkim/drug-synergy-prediction

Abstract Objective Drug combination screening has advantages in identifying cancer treatment options with higher efficacy without degradation in terms of safety. A key challenge is that the accumulated number of observations in in-vitro drug responses varies greatly among different cancer types, where some tissues are more understudied than the others. Thus, we aim to develop a drug synergy prediction model for understudied tissues as a way of overcoming data scarcity problems. Materials and Methods We collected a comprehensive set of genetic, molecular, phenotypic features for cancer cell lines. We developed a drug synergy prediction model based on multitask deep neural networks to integrate multimodal input and multiple output. We also utilized transfer learning from data-rich tissues to data-poor tissues. Results We showed improved accuracy in predicting synergy in both data-rich tissues and understudied tissues. In data-rich tissue, the prediction model accuracy was 0.9577 AUROC for binarized classification task and 174.3 mean squared error for regression task. We observed that an adequate transfer learning strategy significantly increases accuracy in the understudied tissues. Conclusions Our synergy prediction model can be used to rank synergistic drug combinations in understudied tissues and thus help to prioritize future in-vitro experiments.

Many machine learning techniques have been used in past few decades for various medical applications. However, these techniques suffer from parameter tuning issue. Therefore, an efficient tuning of these parameters has an ability to improve the performance of existing machine learning techniques. Therefore, in this work, a novel multi-objective differential evolution based random forest technique is proposed. The proposed technique is able to tune the parameters of random forest in an efficient manner. Extensive experiments are carried out by considering the proposed and the existing competitive machine learning techniques on various medical applications. It is observed that the proposed technique outperforms existing techniques in terms of accuracy, f-measure, sensitivity and specificity.
