Predictive Oncology Provides Updates on Commercialization of Its Cancer Quest 2020 Initiative
Predictive Oncology’s Helomics division has been working closely with its sequencing partner to optimize and scale the generation of both genomic and transcriptomic data. The Company has sequenced the first batch of ovarian tumors and anticipates that the sequencing of the remainder of the 400 ovarian cancer subjects will proceed as planned, establishing another milestone in its CancerQuest 2020 initiative and progression to commercialization. The Company expects to shortly receive outcome data on the 400 subjects in this retrospective trial from its collaborators at the
The coupling of the multi-omic data with existing drug response profiles and the outcome data will allow Helomics to build its first AI-driven predictive model of ovarian cancer which it expects to be commercialized in the first quarter of 2020. Helomics intends to sequence 50% of its 38,000+ ovarian tumors over the next 9-12 months, generating what it believes will be the world’s first comprehensive, actionable multi-omic dataset for ovarian cancer that will be used for further model building. The Company intends to sequence other cancers types in its database to build additional AI-driven predictive models, and strategically broaden its commercial footprint in both the clinical and research markets.
