ctrFindActiveSubstanceSynonyms {ctrdata} | R Documentation |
Find synonyms of an active substance
Description
An active substance can be identified by a recommended international nonproprietary name (INN), a trade or product name, or a company code(s). To find likely synonyms, the function retrieves from CTGOV2 the field protocolSection.armsInterventionsModule.interventions.otherNames. Note this does not seem to be based on choices from a dictionary but may be manually filled, thus is not free of error and needs to be checked.

verbose |
Print number of studies found in CTGOV2 for 'activesubstance' |
