Sonrai Analytics (Sonrai), an AI precision medicine company enabling advanced analytics to advance the development of therapeutics, and Candel Therapeutics (Candel), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing multi-modal biological immunotherapies, today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the development of novel cancer therapeutics.
The partnership brings Sonrai’s innovative cloud-based AI technology to Candel’s pipeline, allowing Candel to integrate and analyze clinical trial data to support the identification of predictive biomarkers of response to treatment.
Candel will utilize Sonrai’s AI technology platform, Sonrai Discovery, to integrate and analyze its diverse data types, including multi-omics, imaging, and clinical data. Sonrai Discovery will enable Candel to create scalable workflows and visualizations, simplifying and accelerating biomarker discovery, management and analysis through efficient biomarker shortlisting and reporting. The platform will facilitate the interrogation and sharing of multi-omics data to allow researchers at Candel to advance the development of cancer therapeutics without data silos and duplication of effort.
Multi-omics data generated in ongoing clinical trials in lung cancer and pancreatic cancer will be interrogated using Sonrai’s AI platform. Potential interactions between baseline patient characteristics, post-treatment biological and measures of clinical outcome will be integrated, providing a holistic evaluation of the clinical and biological response to Candel’s investigational medicines.
