Partnership now includes access to five comprehensive oncology datasets, enhancing real-world evidence in cancer research.

In the realm of oncology research, diverse, comprehensive, and fully longitudinal datasets are invaluable. They offer a granular view of patient journeys throughout the US, enabling researchers to draw clinically relevant insights.

These comprehensive datasets are crucial for advancing personalized treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes in cancer care.

The challenge in current oncology outcomes research lies in the fragmentation of patient data across numerous healthcare providers and sites of care. This creates significant gaps in understanding patient outcomes and treatment efficacies. The scattered data landscape hinders the development of robust real-world evidence (RWE) necessary for impactful cancer research.

xCures consolidates and structures clinical, genomic, and imaging data directly from patients’ electronic medical records, healthcare providers, and other sites of care along the patient’s care journey.

The broad, longitudinal, patient-centric view enables researchers and clinicians to access up-to-date and comprehensive information, paving the way for more informed and timely treatment decisions.

In addition to contributing data to support Aetion’s collaboration with the Food and Drug Administration, the new partnership enables Aetion®, a global leader in RWE and analytics, to incorporate xCures’ breast cancer, glioma, melanoma, colorectal cancer, and ovarian/uterine cancer datasets into their Accelerated Access Oncology Program.

“We’re thrilled about this partnership with Aetion,” said Mika Newton, xCures CEO. “It’s a testament to the power of collaborative efforts in advancing oncology research. By bringing our real-time, regulatory-grade, clinical data (RRC) to a broader audience, we’re not just sharing information – we’re empowering a shift towards more effective, patient-centric cancer treatments.”

Wendy Turenne, Senior Vice President, Real World Data & Operations at Aetion, said: “We are delighted to partner with xCures, as their datasets provide a unique lens into the patient’s experience. In combination with Aetion® Substantiate, these data can be analyzed in novel ways and shorten the time to generate and deliver critical insights that will help shape the future of cancer treatment.”
