Tempus, a leader in artificial intelligence and precision medicine, will unveil groundbreaking data in collaboration with Pfizer at the AACR 2024 Annual Meeting. Their abstract, titled “Analysis of HER2 prevalence by RNA expression across solid tumors,” investigates HER2 protein levels and ERBB2 mRNA levels in locally advanced/metastatic (LA/m) breast and gastric cancer patients. Remarkably, they found that RNA expression in various solid tumors, beyond breast and gastric cancer, may correspond to HER2 protein levels, indicating potential therapeutic opportunities for HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugates.
Seagen, acquired by Pfizer in December 2023, previously engaged Tempus in 2022 to explore patient cohorts with HER2 RNA expression. Tempus’ computational and real-world evidence teams contributed insights on HER2 expression prevalence in select solid tumors. Pfizer leverages Tempus’ extensive multimodal database to advance its HEOR and Translational Science team’s research.
Ryan Fukushima, Tempus’ Chief Operating Officer, expressed gratitude for the collaboration, highlighting the significance of expanding understanding regarding HER2 expression in solid tumors beyond breast and gastric cancers. For this study, Tempus analyzed 4,500 de-identified records from its database to support Pfizer’s research endeavors.
Tempus pioneers precision medicine by applying artificial intelligence practically in healthcare. With one of the world’s largest multimodal data libraries and an accessible operating system, Tempus provides AI-enabled precision medicine solutions to physicians, facilitating personalized patient care. Their platform also supports the discovery, development, and delivery of optimal therapeutics, aiming for patients to benefit from collective treatment experiences. As Tempus gathers more data, their tools continuously learn, enhancing patient outcomes.
