Drug repositioning, the process of discovering, validating, and marketing
previously approved drugs for new indications, is of growing interest to academia
and industry due to reduced time and costs associated with repositioned drugs.
Computational methods for repositioning are appealing because they putatively
nominate the most promising candidate drugs for a given indication. Comparing the
wide array of computational repositioning methods, however, is a challenge due to
inconsistencies in method validation in the field. Furthermore, a common
simplifying assumption, that all novel predictions are false, is intellectually
unsatisfying and hinders reproducibility. We address this assumption by providing
a gold standard database, repoDB, that consists of both true positives (approved
drugs), and true negatives (failed drugs). We have made the full database and all
code used to prepare it publicly available, and have developed a web application
that allows users to browse subsets of the data
(http://apps.chiragjpgroup.org/repoDB/).
