Alternative data

Registry-grade alt-data tied to the parent entity — trials, FDA events, federal-court litigation, and government contracts. Each is a nested sub-graph on Entity, so a single batch request can mix market data, regulatory, and alt-data without extra round trips.

Sub-graph	Default relevance
clinicalTrials	Pharma / biotech sponsors & collaborators
fdaEvents	Drug & device manufacturers
litigation	Any US-party entity
governmentContracts	Any federal-contractor entity

All four sub-graphs return [] (not null) when the entity is outside the relevant sector — no client-side branching needed.

Clinical trials

Entity.clinicalTrials(filter: ClinicalTrialFilterInput) returns registered clinical-trial studies where the entity is a lead sponsor or collaborator.

{
entityByTicker(ticker: "MRNA") {
  clinicalTrials(filter: { phase: "PHASE3", status: "RECRUITING", limit: 5 }) {
    nctId
    title
    phase
    status
    conditions
    interventions
    startDate
    enrollment
  }
}
}

Filter dimensions: phase, status, since/until (on startDate), limit, offset, sort.

FDA adverse events & recalls

Entity.fdaEvents(filter: FdaEventFilterInput) unifies three FDA streams — drug adverse events, device adverse events, and drug recalls — under one typed feed.

{
entityByTicker(ticker: "PFE") {
  fdaEvents(filter: { types: [DRUG_RECALL], limit: 5 }) {
    id
    type
    reportDate
    severity
    summary
    product
  }
}
}

severity is the FDA recall class (CLASS I / II / III) for recalls, or the most severe outcome flag for adverse events. type is the discriminator between the three streams.

Federal court litigation

Entity.litigation(filter: LitigationFilterInput) returns federal court dockets where the entity appears as a party. Use onlyActive: true to filter out terminated cases.

{
entityByTicker(ticker: "GOOG") {
  litigation(filter: {
    onlyActive: true
    natureOfSuit: "PATENT"
    limit: 5
  }) {
    id
    caseName
    court
    dateFiled
    docketNumber
    natureOfSuit
    absoluteUrl
  }
}
}

court and natureOfSuit are case-insensitive substring matches, so "N.D. Cal" and "patent" both work.

Government contracts

Entity.governmentContracts(filter: GovernmentContractFilterInput) returns federal contract awards where the entity is the recipient. Amounts are nullable — values are redacted on some records.

{
entityByTicker(ticker: "LMT") {
  governmentContracts(filter: { minAmount: 1000000, limit: 5 }) {
    awardId
    recipient
    actionDate
    amount
    agency
    awardType
    description
  }
}
}

Combining alt-data in one request

The whole point of sub-graphs — pull trials, FDA events, litigation and contracts in a single round trip.

GraphQL

{
  entitiesByTickers(tickers: ["MRNA", "PFE", "LMT"]) {
    name
    tickers
    clinicalTrials(filter: { status: "RECRUITING", limit: 3 }) { nctId title phase }
    fdaEvents(filter: { types: [DRUG_RECALL], limit: 3 }) { id type severity product }
    litigation(filter: { onlyActive: true, limit: 3 }) { caseName court dateFiled }
    governmentContracts(filter: { minAmount: 1000000, limit: 3 }) { awardId amount agency }
  }
}

TypeScript

const { data } = await jintel.batchEnrich(
  ["MRNA", "PFE", "LMT"],
  ["clinicalTrials", "fdaEvents", "litigation", "governmentContracts"],
