The two abstracts accepted showcase the capabilities of its real-time clinical data platform to support patient care. The abstracts illustrate the platform´s enhanced longitudinal nationwide data beyond existing traditional retrospective real-world data (RWD) and how its platform can prospectively track clinical outcomes for (rare) cancer patient populations and structure clinical data for decision support.
"Access to real-time, longitudinal, uninterrupted clinical data offers an unparalleled capacity to extract insights from patient medical records," said Tim Stuhlmiller, Vice President of Scientific and Medical Affairs at xCures, "these abstracts showcase our ability to utilize real-world data to improve patient care today, rather than 2-5 years from now."
The xCures data platform, powered by a connection to the health information exchange and structured FHIR and CCDA data direct from institutional EMRs, has enabled a nationwide analysis of glioblastoma therapeutic combinations.
Under the guidance of Dr. Michael Castro of the Beverly Hills Cancer Center, a potentially practice-changing detrimental effect of proton pump inhibitors in glioblastoma was unveiled. This data is critical since up to 60% of brain cancer patients are prescribed these drugs, which could easily be exchanged for drugs with a different mechanism of action.
In a second abstract, xCures supports Dr. Paul Kent and the FibroFighters advocacy group to implement a multidisciplinary, international tumor board for fibrolamellar carcinoma, a rare adolescent and young adult cancer.
This tumor board is one of the world´s few international virtual tumor boards and the first ever for fibrolamellar carcinoma, offering patients a free consultation from leading experts. The xCures outcomes database provides actionable clinical data to guide decision-making in the tumor board. In addition, the platform collects outcomes prospectively to close the learning loop and improve future recommendations of the board.
Attendees of the ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting are encouraged to find Tim Stuhlmiller, Mark Shapiro, and Max Goldstein from xCures, who can provide in-depth insights, discuss potential collaborations, and showcase case studies from the platform´s implementation.
