A technology company leading the adoption of AI to advance precision medicine, today announced a new initiative with Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY). This collaboration aims to leverage AI, multimodal real-world data and data science techniques to optimize clinical trial designs and enhance the Probability of Technical & Regulatory Success (PTRS) across five initial clinical trial programs.
With Lens, Tempus’ AI-enabled analytical platform, BMS and Tempus are applying insights from a vast library of de-identified multimodal records to optimize clinical research and strengthen PTRS across BMS’ development portfolio. This collaboration combines unprecedented scale of real-world data with emerging AI-techniques to pressure test assumptions, characterize complex patient populations, validate control group assumptions, and pinpoint the optimal patient segments most likely to benefit from investigational therapies.
This new initiative is supporting key assets in solid tumor oncology, including lung, colon, and prostate cancers. Beyond oncology, the collaboration extends into neuroscience to accelerate drug development in Alzheimer’s Disease, demonstrating the versatility of the Tempus multimodal database across multiple therapeutic areas.
“Our collaboration with BMS aims to optimize clinical development by peering deeper into patient biology than ever before,” said Ryan Fukushima, CEO of Data and Apps at Tempus. “Our multimodal data library allows us to connect the dots between clinical records and molecular subtypes. Together, we are doing more than just generating insights. We are uncovering the hidden biological signals of unmet patient need, which allows us to assess trial assumptions and stratify patient groups with unprecedented precision. We are moving past traditional approaches and creating a new level of data-driven confidence in the drug development process.”
“This collaboration is about improving the quality of decisions we make in development, where the impact is greatest,” said Bryan Campbell, Senior Vice President, Drug Development Strategy & Innovation at Bristol Myers Squibb. “By combining Tempus’ multimodal real-world data capabilities with our development expertise, we can rigorously pressure-test trial assumptions, better understand patient heterogeneity, and design studies with a higher probability of technical and regulatory success. This is a critical step toward more disciplined, data-driven development with the goal of bringing life-changing medicines to patients faster.”
