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.

About INT230-6

INT230-6, Intensity’s lead product candidate designed for direct intratumoral injection, is comprised of two proven, potent anti-cancer agents and a penetration enhancer molecule that helps disperse the drugs throughout tumors and diffuse into cancer cells. INT230-6 is being evaluated in a Phase 1/2 clinical study (NCT03058289) in patients with various advanced solid tumors. In preclinical studies, INT230-6 eradicated tumors by a combination of direct tumor kill and recruitment of dendritic cells to the tumor micro-environment that induced anti-cancer T-cell activation. Treatment with INT230-6 in in vivo models of severe cancer resulted in substantial improvement in overall survival compared to standard therapies. Further, INT230-6 provided complete responder animals with long-term and durable protection from multiple re-inoculations of the initial cancer. In mouse models, INT230-6 has shown strong synergy with checkpoint blockage, including anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA4 antibodies. INT230-6 was discovered from Intensity’s DfuseRxSM platform.
