Abstract Motivation Computational techniques for drug-disease prediction are essential in enhancing drug discovery and repositioning. While many methods utilize multimodal networks from various biological databases, few integrate comprehensive multi-omics data, including transcriptomes, proteomes, and metabolomes. We introduce STRGNN, a novel graph deep learning approach that predicts drug-disease relationships using extensive multimodal networks comprising proteins, RNAs, metabolites, and compounds. We have constructed a detailed dataset incorporating multi-omics data and developed a learning algorithm with topological regularization. This algorithm selectively leverages informative modalities while filtering out redundancies. Results STRGNN demonstrates superior accuracy compared to existing methods and has identified several novel drug effects, corroborating existing literature. STRGNN emerges as a powerful tool for drug prediction and discovery. The source code for STRGNN, along with the dataset for performance evaluation, is available at https://github.com/yuto-ohnuki/STRGNN.git .
