We’re excited to report that the safetyGraphics R package is now on CRAN! safetyGraphics is designed to make it easy to create interactive graphics related to clinical trial safety. We’re still in beta, but are very excited about the progress so far - here’s a sneak peek:

You can try the shiny app for yourself by pasting the following code in to RStudio:

intsall.packages("safetyGraphics)" 
library("safetyGraphics") 
safetyGraphicsApp()

Rho collaborates on the safetyGraphics package as members of the ASA Biopharm/DIA Safety Working Group’s Interactive Safety Graphics Taskforce, which combines stakeholders from across the pharmaceutical industry, including the FDA. To learn more about this project you can:

• See the package on CRAN.
• View the vignette for detailed guidance on using the Shiny application.
• Explore the github repo for the package. Issues and pull requests strongly encouraged!
• Look at our rstudio::conf(2019) ePoster about this project.
• Check out the underlying javascript library used to create the eDish Chart.
• Try out a hosted version of the shiny app (or run it locally using the code above).
• See Rho’s other interactive graphics for safety monitoring. We also wrote a paper about these. Our plan is to add some of them to the SafetyGraphics package in future releases.
• Take a look at the technical framework being used to create the chart.
