Partnership provides high-quality and clinically relevant data for modeling and validation of novel biomarkers in UK patients
BOSTON, LONDON & MADRID–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#ESMO23—Genialis, the RNA-biomarker company, today announced a new data-sharing collaboration with Cancer Research Horizons (CRH), the innovation arm of Cancer Research UK. Under the terms of the collaboration, CRH will make anonymized and curated datasets with ‘omics and clinical metadata available to Genialis to validate Genialis ResponderID™ technology and machine learning-derived patient classifiers.
This program will support validating Genialis-developed algorithms on diverse patient populations to better predict responses to KRAS inhibitors, immunotherapies, and other emerging classes of therapeutics. Collaboration is key to expediting the development of clinically actionable biomarkers for better patient selection so that the right drug reaches the right patient at the right time. Drug development has a clinical failure rate as high as 97 percent, but success can be boosted up to 12x by including biomarkers in the clinical design.
