Predictive Oncology , a leader in AI-driven drug discovery and biologics, announced the expansion of its AI/ML-driven platform to discover novel biomarkers for predicting patient outcomes and drug response in oncology. This initiative follows the successful results from a retrospective ovarian cancer study with UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital, presented at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting. The study developed multi-omic machine learning models that predicted short-term and long-term survival outcomes more accurately than clinical data alone, supporting novel ovarian cancer biomarker discovery.
Arlette H. Uihlein, MD, SVP, highlighted that their platform uses diverse patient samples to predict drug responses accurately and is now applying deep learning for biomarker discovery related to overall survival and drug response. Raymond Vennare, CEO, emphasized the potential for developing a clinical decision support tool and further biomarker discovery for other cancer types through collaborations with biopharmaceutical partners and healthcare networks.
The biomarker discovery market is estimated to be $51.5 billion in 2024. Predictive Oncology released a white paper detailing its biomarker discovery capabilities, accessible at their website.
Predictive Oncology utilizes AI and machine learning to expedite biomarker and drug discovery, benefiting cancer patients globally. Their AI platform, PEDAL, predicts tumor sample responses to drugs with 92% accuracy, supported by a biobank of over 150,000 human tumor samples. They offer comprehensive AI-based drug discovery solutions, complemented by a CLIA lab and GMP facilities, headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA.
