Novel Genomic Score for Predicting Survival Benefit with Immunotherapy in Metastatic Cancers
TS-075158 — Problem The global immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) market is ~$60B. However, only ~20% of patients derive long-term survival benefit. The current standard of care biomarker Tumor Mutation Burden (TMB) performs poorly and there is no universal biomarker with robust validated predictive ability. Opportunity A companion diagnostic for identifying patients who benefit with ICI would unlock a large market by improving patient outcome and enabling a pan-cancer treatment indication that helps newer market entrants to better compete with incumbents. Solution Genomic Score that Predicts Survival: We have developed a pan-cancer genomic scoring system encompassing ~170 genes that predicts long term survival with immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) Derivation: Developed from next-generation sequencing genomic data from 54 Neuroendocrine neoplasms who received ICIs at OSU Validation: Performed by analyzing and scoring 20,563 genomic alterations in 1,662 ICI treated patients with 10 different cancers from a publicly available dataset. (Samstein et al., Nature Genetics 2019). Broad Applicability: NSCLC, Melanoma, Colorectal Cancer, Bladder cancer and Neuroendocrine Neoplasms. Competitive Advantage The genomic score performed better than the TMB score (current standard of care) AUC of 0.87-0.95 for genomic score vs AUC of 0.57 for TMB Predictive of survival in 5 types of cancer including NSCLC Applications Biotech/Pharma companies: Develop a companion diagnostic to facilitate ICI drug development and improve patient outcome that leads to a new pan-cancer treatment indication that competes strongly with established players such as Keytruda and Opdivo which lose patent exclusivity within 3 years Payors/Nationalized Health Systems: Accurately predicting survival benefit helps maximize benefit from expenditure on ICI

Cancer Cell Motility Monitoring Device
TS-038384 — A novel device for monitoring cancer cell motility in real time using standard microscopy.
The Need Numerous cancer cells are capable of migration, resulting in metastasis of distinct organs and tissues from where the cancer first arose. Migrating cancer cells are known to directionally respond to applied electric fields, a phenomenon called electrotaxis, as well as topological cues prov…
