Systems Oncology leverages big data and AI to discover novel scientific insights into cancer biology. These therapeutic insights are then applied to build therapeutic programs. Specifically, SO’s ExpansiveAI discovery engine allows scientists to integrate and translate big data from hundreds of scientific sources into intelligently linked scientific knowledge, making it possible to uncover truly unique therapeutic opportunities. This cognitive computing platform integrates and connects multiple different kinds of data into multidimensional models, which in turn allows for unprecedented scale and efficiency in applying machine learning to mine trillions of biomedical relationships. This engine enables SO to explore a massive universe of therapeutic opportunities many orders of magnitude more expansive than the human mind can imagine.

"We are honored by the investment from The Pritzker Organization and look forward to them joining us with a seat on our Board of Directors," said Dr. Spyro Mousses, CEO of Systems Oncology. "TPO’s investment is a prestigious recognition for the potential SO has to transform drug discovery and development with AI. They bring a wealth of experience investing in and growing companies and will help us continue to grow for years to come and fulfill our commitment to bring forward breakthrough oncology therapeutics for unmet patient needs."

"We are very excited about the potential for Systems Oncology’s combination of leading-edge AI and outstanding clinical expertise to produce novel cancer therapies," said Joseph Gleberman, TPO Managing Director.

On October 22, 2019 Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY) reported that CheckMate -9LA, a pivotal Phase 3 trial evaluating Opdivo (nivolumab) plus low-dose Yervoy (ipilimumab) given concomitantly with two cycles of chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), met its primary endpoint of superior overall survival (OS) at a pre-specified interim analysis (Press release, Bristol-Myers Squibb, OCT 22, 2019, View Source [SID1234542396]). The comparator in this study was chemotherapy alone for up to four cycles followed by optional maintenance therapy. The safety profile of Opdivo plus low-dose Yervoy and two cycles of chemotherapy in CheckMate -9LA was reflective of the known safety profiles of the immunotherapy and chemotherapy components in first-line NSCLC.

"We are excited by the CheckMate -9LA results, which demonstrate the potential of Opdivo plus low-dose Yervoy to provide a survival benefit to patients with non-small cell lung cancer in the first-line setting when administered concomitantly with a limited course of chemotherapy," said Fouad Namouni, M.D., head, Oncology Development, Bristol-Myers Squibb. "These results build on the benefit the combination of Opdivo plus Yervoy has previously shown in first-line melanoma, renal cell carcinoma and most recently lung cancer, and may provide a new therapeutic option for patients."

The company will complete a full evaluation of the CheckMate -9LA data and looks forward to presenting these results at an upcoming congress and sharing them with regulatory authorities.
