Regulatory News:
Median Technologies (FR0011049824, ALMDT, PEA/PME scheme
eligible, “Median” or “The Company”) announces today it has signed
an initial agreement with a Top 10 oncology pharmaceutical
company1. The agreement aims at conducting AI-based imaging
biomarker2 discovery on the clinical data of a drug candidate. The
agreement could lead to a broader collaboration between the
pharmaceutical company and Median.
The agreement involves Imaging Lab, a dedicated entity of
Median’s iCRO Business Unit. Imaging Lab provides biopharma
companies with advanced AI-based decision-making capabilities,
leveraging patients’ imaging data to provide specific patient
selection, prediction of response to therapy, accurate monitoring
of disease progression, and early access to safety and
efficacy.
Median will apply its unique expertise, methods, and know-how in
AI-based technologies to identify specific digital signatures
(imaging biomarkers) from images, providing meaningful information
on the drug responder/non-responder status of the patients. The
drug-specific imaging biomarkers could ultimately be utilized as
companion diagnostics3 to select patients who are most likely to
benefit from the drug.
Fredrik Brag, CEO and Founder of Median Technologies,
highlighted: “We recently announced the selection of Median as
preferred provider to a second global Top 3 pharmaceutical group.
We are thrilled to announce today the launch of a collaboration
with a global Top 10 pharma to support a drug development program
with our AI-driven imaging technologies. Pharmaceutical companies
are early adopters of AI in their drug development plans and
investment in AI by large pharma is growing at a steady pace,
creating very positive momentum for Median as a unique AI
technology company in the imaging CRO market. AI is now everywhere
in drug development and the AI in clinical trials market is
expected to reach $6.55 Billion by 20304. AI-driven imaging
technologies applied to clinical trials unveil new insights that
could determine the success of oncology trials. Providing insights
for ‘Go/No-Go’ decisions at an early stage, or to discover
predictive imaging biomarkers of patient response to drug
candidates are two of the most compelling outcomes. Imaging AI
solutions will become the new generation of companion diagnostics,
opening unique opportunities in the era of precision medicine.”
Nicolas Dano, COO & CCO iCRO said: “AI-driven imaging
insights are the future in oncology drug development. As a native
technology company, Median is the only imaging CRO that has AI
know-how and experience, giving us a unique competitive advantage
to penetrate the Big Pharma market. We are eager to start the
collaboration and provide valuable insights to our new partner,
helping them with their drug development plans.”
