Tempus AI announced an expansion of its collaboration with Takeda, a global pharmaceutical company, to enhance Takeda’s oncology research and development efforts. This agreement builds upon an initial collaboration that utilized Tempus’ de-identified multimodal datasets. Under the expanded agreement, Takeda will combine Tempus’ multimodal real-world datasets and biological modeling capabilities to advance its pipeline of cancer therapeutics, which includes antibody-drug conjugates, small molecules, bispecifics, and gamma delta T-cell therapies. Takeda researchers will use Tempus’ analytics platform, Lens, to gain real-time access to de-identified patient records and AI-enabled tools. The collaboration also involves a multi-phase biological modeling project, leveraging Tempus’ repository of patient-derived tumor organoids. This project will use a panel of 60 organoids spanning 10 cancer indications to functionally evaluate several preclinical candidates, aiming to enhance the predictability of drug effectiveness and guide early drug candidate prioritization.
