In collaboration with leading cancer centers, research results to be presented from 41 studies across 19 solid tumor types demonstrating Caris’ impact on precision medicine
IRVING, Texas, May 14, 2024 – Caris Life Sciences® (Caris), the leading next-generation AI TechBio company and precision medicine pioneer, today announced that the company and collaborators from the biopharma industry and leading cancer centers, including those within the Caris Precision Oncology Alliance™ (POA), will collectively present 41 studies across 19 tumor types at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO®) Annual Meeting May 31 to June 4, 2024 (Booth #28001). The findings demonstrate the power of Caris’ comprehensive multi-modal database to enable novel insights into cancer that could have profound effects on a patient’s diagnosis, prognosis, care plan and response to treatment.
“We are immensely proud of the collaborative studies accepted for presentation at ASCO, which are a testament to the value of Caris’ comprehensive molecular profiling and the power of our ever-expanding network of POA collaborations,” said Caris EVP and Chief Medical Officer George W. Sledge, Jr., MD. “The diverse array of findings underscores the critical role of comprehensive profiling in cancer care and the power of large clinico-genomic datasets to enable the identification of new biomarkers with clinical implications across diverse tumor types, including lung, prostate and breast cancer. Through extensive sequencing and data analysis efforts, we’re unlocking new avenues for tailored therapies to revolutionize cancer treatment.”
“Caris enables clinicians to make the best individualized treatment choices for their patients, researchers to discover new actionable targets and our biopharmaceutical partners to develop the next breakthrough medicines,” said Caris President David Spetzler, MS, PhD, MBA. “In collaboration with leading oncology experts in the POA, our clinicians and scientists leverage vast real-world evidence from over 632,000 lifetime clinical cases, including over 482,000 with matched molecular data and outcomes in Caris’ unique AI-driven platform, to unravel the complexities of cancer. Together, we’re revealing the intricacies of the molecular and immune landscapes of tumors and how these impact clinical outcomes, paving the way for personalized therapies and improved patient outcomes.”
