xCures’ technology harnesses real-time patient data and makes it accessible for scientific exploration and to improve patient options.
Today, xCures and the Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) / Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) Research Funding Alliance (DDRFA) are proud to announce their partnership, a collaboration focused on leveraging real-time patient data to drive forward DMG (including DIPG) scientific study and patient care options.
Through this collaboration, xCures aims to streamline DMG research and enhance patient care by centralizing the collection and analysis of anonymized DMG patient data. By enhancing scientific discovery while upholding patients´ and doctors´ stringent privacy and security standards, this partnership will significantly advance patient-driven research and treatment options.
“We’re incredibly excited to join forces with xCures,” said Lisa Ward, coordinator for DDRFA. “Through this collaboration, we’re leveraging cutting-edge technology to elevate DIPG and DMG research. Our vision is to learn from every patient in real-time, aggregate this vital data, and make it accessible for further scientific exploration. Equally as important, is to structure data to be widely accessible to academic researchers and industry poised to bring discoveries in this nearly universally fatal childhood cancer.”
xCures, renowned for its technology solutions in oncological clinical research, will provide a secure platform for data gathering and analysis. Their unique ‘Privacy by Design’ approach ensures patient data privacy, a crucial element of this partnership, and thus facilitates the creation of an extensive, dynamic dataset that reflects the real-world experiences of DMG patients. Moreover, the dataset’s continuous updates will offer researchers timely insights into treatment responses, symptom progression, and patient outcomes.
“Collaborating with DDRFA will permit us to apply our technology towards a critically important cause,” commented Mika Newton, the CEO of xCures. “We believe this partnership will have a crucial role in advancing DIPG and DMG research, and ultimately improving patient care.”
By fostering a more profound understanding of DIPG, xCures and DDRFA strive to spark scientific breakthroughs and inform treatment decisions, significantly improving the prognosis for patients living with this devastating disease.
