Artificial intelligence-enabled screening strategy for drug repurposing in monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance.

ABSTRACT: Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a benign hematological condition with the potential to progress to malignant conditions including multiple myeloma and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. Medications that modify progression risk have yet to be identified. To investigate, we leveraged machine-learning and electronic health record (EHR) data to screen for drug repurposing candidates. We extracted clinical and laboratory data from a manually curated MGUS database, containing 16,752 MGUS patients diagnosed from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2021, prospectively maintained at Mayo Clinic. We merged this with comorbidity and medication data from the EHR. Medications were mapped to 21 drug classes of interest. The XGBoost module was then used to train a primary Cox su
