CorpusAnalytiX and Ariana Pharma Announce Collaborative Alliance to Accelerate AI-Driven Drug Development
Collaboration connects CorpusAnalytiX’s diverse healthcare data
marketplace with Ariana Pharma’s Knowledge Extraction and
Management eXplainable AI platform to fuel advanced pharmaceutical
research.
October 15, 2024 – LONDON and PARIS:CorpusAnalytiX, a transformative healthcare
data brokerage platform, and Ariana Pharma, a leading AI drug development company,
today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate drug development and provide
researchers access to previously siloed datasets critical for advancing innovation in
pathology, oncology, genomics, and more, fueling deep scientific knowledge extraction
using eXplainable AI. This collaboration will leverage CorpusAnalytiX’s extensive
network of biomedical dataset suppliers and Ariana Pharma’s KEM® eXplainable AI
platform to enable faster, more targeted R&D.
Key Highlights of the Partnership:
● CorpusAnalytiX will provide Ariana Pharma with streamlined access to unique datasets from biotech SMEs, laboratories, and concierge clinics, strengthening Ariana Pharma’s impact in clinical development.
● Ariana Pharma will utilize these datasets to provide access to innovative biomarker hypotheses through its KEM® xAI platform for improved patient selection, biomarker identification, and design of innovative clinical trial studies.
● As part of the collaboration, Ariana Pharma will contribute to CorpusAnalytiX’s marketplace through xAI-derived insights and also expand the platform’s data offering.
● The partnership aims to reduce drug development timelines and costs while increasing the success rates of clinical trials across multiple therapeutic areas with a strong focus on complex indications, rare diseases, and heterogeneous datasets.
“This collaboration represents a significant milestone in our mission to democratize
access to healthcare datasets,” said Ansh Tandon, Founder and CEO of
CorpusAnalytiX. “By integrating Ariana’s advanced AI capabilities with our growing
network of data suppliers, we’re establishing a powerful ecosystem that can push
forward innovation in drug development and precision medicine.”
Driving New Revenue Streams for Data Generators
One unique aspect of CorpusAnalytiX is its supplier-centric model, which empowers
data generators—such as biotech startups and research labs—to maintain control over
their datasets while monetizing them effectively. Unlike other platforms that aggregate
and sell datasets directly, CorpusAnalytiX operates on a model that allows suppliers to
set their own prices, ensuring equitable compensation and enabling suppliers to
leverage their previously underutilized datasets.
Dr. Frédéric Parmentier, VP of Data Science at Ariana Pharma, added,
“CorpusAnalytiX’s unique approach to connecting us with diverse, high-quality
healthcare datasets aligns perfectly with our precision medicine platform, improving its
fit to de-risk clinical development. This collaboration will enable us to design more
effective drug trials, potentially leading to faster regulatory approvals and, ultimately,
better patient outcomes.”
Streamlining Data Access for AI-Driven Drug Development
CorpusAnalytiX’s B2B marketplace simplifies the healthcare data acquisition process by
linking biotech SMEs, university labs, and pharmaceutical companies with a network of
US and EU data suppliers. The platform’s practical e-commerce interface allows
prospective buyers to specify metadata and annotation requirements through custom
queries, ensuring precise matching of research needs with available data. Buyers
benefit from faster access to various datasets while suppliers manage their assets,
choosing flexible licensing options and empowering them to become contract research
organizations.
Through this partnership, Ariana Pharma will be able to tap into CorpusAnalytiX’s
expanding repository, including:
● Whole-exome sequencing data from over 20,000 genes
● More than 10 million pathology whole slide images
● 2 million+ HIPAA-compliant, de-identified electronic health records
● Care pathways, simulations, multi-omics data, failed clinical trial information, and
other niche datasets
Enhancing AI-Powered Precision Medicine
Ariana Pharma’s KEM® eXplainable AI platform integrates extensive pre-clinical,
clinical, and real-world evidence data to de-risk clinical development by improving
clinical trial design and execution. By incorporating CorpusAnalytiX’s vast ecosystem,
Ariana Pharma aims to:
● Refine patient stratification and biomarker identification
● Propose innovative, precision medicine biomarker-based clinical study designs
● Fast-track drug repurposing and indication expansion efforts
● Bolster real-world evidence generation to support regulatory submissions
The collaboration will initially focus on oncology and rare diseases but will expand into
other therapeutic areas as the partnership progresses. “By facilitating access to
previously siloed datasets, we’re working to provide Ariana Pharma with a more varied
pool of information” explained Tandon. “We believe this collaboration has the potential
to contribute to reducing the time and cost associated with bringing new therapies to
market.” Parmentier added, “The breadth and depth of data available through the
CorpusAnalytiX platform could allow us to develop more robust xAI algorithms,
potentially leading to more accurate predictions and better-designed clinical trials.”
