    Tempus, a leader in artificial intelligence and precision medicine, today announces an expansion of its collaboration with AstraZeneca, which leverages Tempus Next to arm physicians with technology that supports the delivery of guideline-directed biomarker testing for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The magnitude and frequency of updates to oncology guidelines each year make it difficult for the updates to be rapidly incorporated into patient treatment plans. As part of a larger, strategic collaboration, the two companies are now expanding upon a pilot program that utilizes Next, Tempus’ care pathway intelligence platform, to help physicians determine if their patients with NSCLC may benefit from guideline-directed molecular testing, including testing for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations.

    EGFR is a biomarker that presents in some patients with NSCLC and that has specific targeted therapies associated with it. Currently, ~30-40% of eligible NSCLC patients do not receive appropriate testing1. In September 2023, Tempus and AstraZeneca initiated a pilot program to leverage Next to identify this specific care gap at participating provider sites, using AI to scan unstructured clinical data to understand which patients may be eligible for testing based on clinical guidelines, and notifying treating physicians to inform care. The pilot’s initial success within the first six months prompted a new expansion of the program to support deployment of the care pathway model in a total of 15 provider sites.

    “Next was designed to ensure all patients have access to treatment plans based on the most up-to-date guidelines by equipping physicians with cutting-edge tools in their existing workflows to support the delivery of evidence-based care,” said Chris Scotto DiVetta, Senior Vice President, AI Applications at Tempus. “We were excited to see initial success in this program and look forward to contributing to a future where advanced technology and medical expertise unite to improve outcomes for all patients.”

    The stroke and heart attack prediction results will be presented at the 47th Congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), London, UK, from 30th August to 2nd September 2024.

    iPredict™ Stroke and heart attack prediction models provide AI-based automated prediction scores for incident stroke and heart attack (i.e., myocardial infarction (MI)) which identifies the individuals who are at risk of having stroke and MI within 5 years. These results were peer-reviewed and accepted by the scientific review team and will be presented at the ESC Congress which will be held between 30th August and 2nd September 2024. The iPredict stroke and MI prediction models aim to help prevent strokes and heart attacks, saving millions of people from deaths or disabilities.

    Using the high-resolution retinal color images of the individual’s eyes and health data, the iPredict™ AI System’s stroke and MI prediction results will be available in fully automated reports in less than 60 seconds. The entire test can easily and reliably be completed within 5 minutes.

    For the identification of individuals who will suffer a stroke or heart attack in 5-year, the prediction models offer an overall accuracy of

    • incident stroke with a sensitivity of 82.73%, specificity of 87.35%, and accuracy of 85.22%.
    • incident MI with a sensitivity of 84.76%, specificity of 84.67%, and accuracy of 84.71%.

    iPredict achieved higher accuracy than existing stroke and heart attack prediction models such as Framingham and Chads scores/CHADS2VASC scores.

    iPredict’s stroke and MI models can be used to alert physicians of the need to take further preventive measures for these patients in the primary care settings.

    The company also has AI-based screening tools for early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy (DR), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and glaucoma which are CE certified (i.e., cleared for the European market), MHRA/UK Health, TGA/Australian and UAE health approved.

    iHealthScreen company is open to partnerships for collaboration and/or co-development of its products in various territories. For more information: https://www.iHealthScreen.org

    Today, Maxim Biomedical (MaximBio), a leading diagnostic healthcare company and manufacturer of trusted diagnostic solutions announced a comprehensive Marketing and Distribution Agreement with Thomas Scientific for the ClearDetectTM COVID-19 Antigen Home Test (ClearDetectTM) which received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on January 19, 2022.  

    When asked about the collaboration, Anthony Morrison, MaximBio’s Chief Commercial Officer, said, “Their dedication to provide the best products with personal, efficient service makes them an ideal partner for MaximBio as we team up to help meet the growing demand for COVID-19 testing.” Michael Brown, Senior VP, Clinical Diagnostics at Thomas Scientific, agreed, “For over a century, Thomas Scientific has been committed to offering quality laboratory products while catering to the unique needs of the individual customer.  We are excited to add MaximBio’s innovative test to our product offering.” 

    The ClearDetectTM COVID-19 Antigen Home Test employs proven Lateral Flow Assay (LFA) technology with a simplified workflow that can easily be done at home without the need for equipment or a reader. The test’s unique format involves only 3 components—a swab, a test strip, and a test tube pre-filled with sample buffer. This eliminates reagent measuring or the need to handle dropper bottles as required with other card-based and self-test systems.

    When compared to an EUA authorized PCR method, the MaximBio ClearDetectTM COVID-19 Antigen Home Test performed well, achieving 86.9% Positive Agreement (PPA) and 98.9% Negative Agreement (NPA), making it one of the more sensitive and specific antigen tests available. The test also performed admirably when evaluated by the NIH with specimens positive for the Omicron variant, detecting 100% of live virus Omicron samples diluted to a PCR Ct value of 25.8. In the same study the assay detected the Omicron variant at a higher dilution than two other EUA-approved antigen tests.

    The test will be available in two kit configurations—packaged two (2) tests in a box for convenient at-home use, and in a bulk 25-test pack amenable for healthcare settings, schools, workplaces, and other high-volume testing scenarios. Thomas Scientific will market both configurations and plans to price them competitively. MaximBio is currently ramping up production to meet the demand for COVID-19 testing and Thomas Scientific’s desire to fulfil customer needs.
