BullFrog AI-Driven Precision Oncology Analytics Identifies 3x Increase in Overall Survivability in Patient Subgroups through Key Biomarkers in Pancreatic Cancer

On January 6, 2026 BullFrog AI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BFRG; BFRGW) ("BullFrog AI" or the "Company"), a technology company using artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning to turn complex biomedical data into actionable insights, reported the presentation of data derived from the use of the Company’s proprietary platform bfLEAP with pancreatic cancer trial data to identify an almost three times increase in mean survival from the control to treatment arms. The data will be presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO GI) on Jan. 9 at poster session B.

The presentation, in collaboration with Eleison Pharmaceuticals and the Moffitt Cancer Center, is titled, "Data-driven subtyping and differential glufosfamide benefit in pancreatic adenocarcinoma," and will subsequently appear in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO) supplement corresponding to the symposium.

"The glufosfamide case study in pancreatic cancer successfully showcased the utility of our platform to provide drug developers with an end-to-end analytical tool engineered to resolve multimodal biological complexity at scale," said BullFrog AI Founder and CEO Vin Singh. "Too much time and capital are wasted in drug development traveling down incorrect pathways, ultimately leaving patients without effective treatments. The power of bfLEAP and bfPREP is their ability to give drug developers a clear path forward based on previous data and indicators to focus on key benchmarks, limiting the amount of wasteful spending on less-than-ideal targets."

The study explored data-driven precision-oncology approaches leveraging BullFrog AI’s bfLEAP and bfPREP platforms to analyze complex clinical datasets, uncover biologically meaningful patient clusters, and identify patient subtypes that may demonstrate enhanced response to glufosfamide, an investigational chemotherapeutic agent for pancreatic cancer. In the post-hoc analysis of TH-CR-302, a randomized phase 3 clinical trial evaluating glufosfamide against the best supportive care (BSC), the analysis discovered key biomarkers that influenced an almost threefold increase in mean survival from the control to treatment arms.

The research group concluded that ensemble approaches like bfLEAP can successfully identify patient subgroups within existing glufosfamide clinical trial data. Treatment effect heterogeneity was identified among clusters, identifying possible early predictors of outcomes, and highlighting the effectiveness of data-driven clustering approaches to refine patient stratification and guide the development of personalized treatment strategies.

The study was co-authored by Richard Kim, M.D., Service Chief of Medical Gastrointestinal Oncology and Senior Member in the Gastrointestinal Oncology Department at Moffitt Cancer Center, Nikolas Naleid, M.D., Pharm.D., Hematology/Oncology Fellow at Moffitt Cancer Center, Eleison Pharmaceuticals, and BullFrog AI.

AMGEN ACQUIRES DARK BLUE THERAPEUTICS, BOLSTERING ONCOLOGY PIPELINE

On January 6, 2026 Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) reported its acquisition of Dark Blue Therapeutics Ltd., a privately held biotechnology company based in the United Kingdom advancing first-in-class, small molecule-targeted protein degraders for oncology, in a transaction valued at up to $840 million.

The acquisition adds to Amgen’s portfolio an investigational small molecule that targets and degrades two proteins (MLLT1/3) that drive specific types of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a fast-growing blood cancer. Preclinical data in leukemia models demonstrate promising anti-cancer activity and mechanistic differentiation from currently available therapies, establishing the rationale for single-agent and combination use to overcome treatment resistance and enhance durability of remission.

"Acute myeloid leukemia remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat, and we see an urgent need for new mechanisms capable of changing the trajectory of this disease," said Jay Bradner, M.D., executive vice president of Research and Development at Amgen. "This acquisition complements and extends our research in targeted protein degradation and leukemia therapeutics, advancing our strategy to invest early in rising medicines for novel therapeutic targets. The adjacency of this program to our considered expertise in cancer biology will propel MLLT1/3-targeting medicines to clinical investigation for patients facing the challenging diagnosis of AML."

Amgen expects to integrate Dark Blue Therapeutics into its existing research organization, further strengthening the company’s early oncology discovery efforts.
