Smart Scoping with In-built Filters

Use Maven Bio's built-in filters to scope precise lists of drugs, trials, companies, indications, mechanisms, targets, and documents for structured analysis.

Whether you are building a competitive landscape of PD-1 inhibitors in NSCLC, identifying mid-cap biotechs with late-stage oncology pipelines, or screening Phase 3 trials by enrollment criteria, Maven Bio's built-in filters let you scope precise entity lists without writing queries. Combine filters across scientific, regulatory, clinical, financial, and company dimensions to build exactly the list your analysis requires.

Filtering strategy

Filters follow AND/OR logic: items must satisfy all applied conditions. A few approaches that work well in practice:

  • Combine multiple filters to narrow progressively. Start broad (therapeutic area), then refine (phase, modality, regulatory designation).

  • Use Suggest Filters to discover filter options you may not have considered.

  • When no exact filter exists for your criteria, narrow the list as far as possible with built-in filters, then use AI Columns to apply custom logic.

  • AI Columns that produce structured data become filterable themselves, creating new dimensions for your analysis.

Drug filters

Scope drug lists by development context, modality, mechanism, clinical characteristics, and sponsoring company. Start with development status (global status, US status, active/inactive) and layer on product type (small molecule, antibody, gene therapy, cell therapy, radiopharmaceutical, vaccine), regulatory designations (Orphan Drug, Fast Track, Breakthrough Therapy, PRIME, RMAT, QIDP), and clinical attributes (patient population, route of administration, adverse events). Mechanistic filters (MOA, targets, drug classes) and indication filters anchor results in scientific space. Company filters, including primary-company market cap, add a business lens for BD or investment analysis.

Trial filters

Scope trial lists by study design, geography, population, interventions, and sponsor. Filter by NCT ID, study type, trial status, start and completion dates, therapeutic area, and trial focus. Refine further with enrollment criteria, gender eligibility, healthy volunteer acceptance, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and outcomes measured. Study design characteristics (allocation, intervention model, masking, objectives) let you isolate specific trial designs.

Company filters

Scope company lists by identity (name, HQ country, stock exchange, ticker, employee count), pipeline depth (total active programs, mechanisms, targets, indications, highest phase reached), and financials (market cap, revenue, net income, EBITDA, free cash flow). These filters support pipeline-based company screening and financial segmentation for BD, strategy, or investment workflows.

Indication, mechanism, and target filters

Each entity type supports filtering by name, associated drugs and companies, linked therapeutic areas, highest development phase, total and active program counts, and active-program percentage. These are useful for target-based competitive analysis and indication-level landscape building.

Document and conference abstract filters

Scope document lists by title, document type (press releases, earnings transcripts, SEC filings, publications, corporate presentations), publication date, source URL, and associated companies or drugs. Conference abstracts add filters for abstract phase, presentation type, conference name and year, primary author, author institution, and key findings.

What you can do next

After scoping your list, save the search so you can reapply it later, or add AI Columns to enrich the filtered results with custom analysis.
