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

Streamlined Access

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.

Innovative Biomarkers

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.

Marketplace Contributions

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.

Development Impact

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. 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."

- Ansh Tandon, Founder and CEO of CorpusAnalytiX

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.

"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."

- Dr. Frédéric Parmentier, VP of Data Science at Ariana Pharma

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."
