Tempus Expands Immuno-Oncology Portfolio with Launch of AI-enabled, Multimodal Immune Profile Algorithmic Tests

Available Today for Life Science Research Use
Only
Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM), a leader in artificial
intelligence and precision medicine, today announced that its
multimodal immune profile score (IPS) algorithmic test is now
available for research use only (RUO). IPS is the first offering of
a larger immunotherapy-based portfolio being developed at Tempus to
bring next-generation algorithmic diagnostics to the
immuno-oncology space. Additionally, Tempus is collaborating with
other partners, like Cleveland Clinic, to bring additional
immunotherapy-focused algorithmic tests to this growing portfolio,
leveraging clinical, laboratory, genomic, and transcriptomic data
to identify patients that may respond to immunotherapy.
Tempus’ IPS is a pan-cancer, laboratory developed test (LDT)
that assesses a combination of immunotherapy-related biomarkers
from prior DNA and RNA test results to calculate an IPS from 0-100
and a classification of either IPS-Low or IPS-High. IPS results can
support patient stratification across pan-cancer cohorts to help
inform who may or may not respond to immunotherapy. The IPS test is
available today to life sciences partners for research use only,
and is intended to be available as an add-on option for clinicians
ordering Tempus’ xT and xR at the end of the year. Tempus is
performing a retrospective, real-world study to evaluate the
prognostic and the predictive utility of IPS in advanced pan-cancer
patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and will
be releasing data later this year.
In addition to developing and launching IPS, Tempus has licensed
a machine-learning-based algorithmic test developed by Timothy A.
Chan, MD, PhD, Cleveland Clinic. As described in Nature
Biotechnology, the test demonstrates an ability to predict the
efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade based on patient-specific
biological, laboratory, genomic, and clinical factors, and adds to
our expanding immunotherapy specific biomarker portfolio.
"Immune checkpoint inhibitors continue to have an incredible
impact on patient outcomes, and we are excited to continue building
a portfolio of AI-enabled diagnostics and tools to better equip
clinicians in understanding which patients may benefit from these
kinds of therapies,” said Halla Nimeiri, MD, Chief Development
Officer at Tempus. “The IPS test is our first multimodal algorithm
to be introduced in the immunotherapy space, and we are excited to
advance this field by providing critical insights that inform
patient care.”
“It’s a great pleasure to collaborate with Tempus on developing
artificial intelligence powered models for better identification of
patients who may respond to cancer immunotherapies,” said Timothy
A. Chan, MD, PhD, Department Chair of Immunotherapy and Precision
Oncology and Professor of Medicine at Cleveland Clinic. “We look
forward to working together with Tempus to bring multimodal
immunotherapy response prediction assays to patients.”
Tempus’ AI-enabled platform generates the type of rich
multimodal data required to develop a novel class of predictive
algorithms that can be introduced in the clinic to support
personalized patient treatment selection. The IPS and Cleveland
Clinic immune response tests joins a growing suite of algorithmic
tests offered by Tempus, including Homologous Recombination
Deficiency (HRD), Tumor Origin (TO), dihydropyrimidine
dehydrogenase (DPYD), and PurISTSM. Each of these tests is designed
to predict specific biological signals or clinical endpoints,
ultimately supporting clinicians and life science partners as they
seek to make more informed decisions for patients.
