Disease

Names and IDs as Open Targets gives them. Its IDs in MeSH, Orphanet, the Disease Ontology and the NCI Thesaurus are those Open Targets states for it.

Name: alcohol drinking; Open Targets
Open Targets ID: EFO_0004329; Open Targets
Other names: alcohol consumption; Open Targets
MeSH: D000428; MeSH
NCI Thesaurus: C16273; NCI Thesaurus
Highest stage of its drugs: Phase 2, for 5 of its 5 drugs, from ClinicalTrials.gov; Open Targets

Drugs5

The drugs Open Targets' clinical reports study for the disease, the highest stage first, then the most trial reports. The stage is Open Targets', the highest any of its sources reports for the pair, and each row names the sources that report it.

Targets15

The targets ChEMBL's mechanism records give for the disease's drugs, through Open Targets, the most drugs first. A mechanism record says what a drug acts on, not that the target causes the disease.

Trials5

Trials an Open Targets clinical report links to the disease, posted results first, then the largest. A trial is shown when the release's checks confirm its link to the disease and Drugs and targets shows its link to one of the disease's drugs.

Comparisons in its trials1

Comparisons Trial comparisons calculated in the trials shown here, most participants first. A comparison in one of these trials does not always compare a treatment for the disease, so read the two groups.
