xCures poster presentation, entitled XCELSIOR: A real-time, real-world learning platform for patients with advanced cancer, will show clinical outcomes of real-world datasets from over 400 CNS cancer patients and approximately 250 glioblastoma patients. XCELSIOR is a direct-to-patient evidence-based platform leveraging a nationwide observational research protocol. The platform allows for continuous learning towards informing treatment decisions by aggregating, normalizing, and analyzing N-of-1 clinical outcomes from anywhere in the country.

At the conference, xCures will discuss their real-time learning infrastructure and present results of clinical case studies for pharma and non-profit groups, including more than 100 reported virtual tumor boards. Outcomes shown will be from real-world evidence generated from hundreds of patients with CNS cancers that xCures have helped in partnership with Cancer Commons and the Musella Foundation.

"I look forward to connecting with colleagues and presenting our first analysis of real-world clinical outcomes of CNS cancer patients from our observational registry, including a preliminary analysis of patients that received immune checkpoint inhibitors," stated Tim Stuhlmiller, VP of Scientific and Medical Affairs at xCures. "It is inspiring to see our approach to gather and analyze real-world data in real-time via patient participation in a nationwide observational research protocol yield evidence-based insights."

Al Musella, President of the Musella Foundation said, "With the launch of their provider portal xDECIDE, the xCures platform offers a major opportunity for oncologists all over the country to collaborate on observational research without the burden of data entry. The CNS dataset presented at the conference provides a foundation for ongoing clinical research to identify the most promising new combinations of therapies in glioblastoma."

"Cancer Commons’ close partnership with xCures, the Musella Foundation, and the expert physician advisers that serve on our virtual tumor boards has helped inform brain cancer patients across the U.S. about treatment options specific to their case. The data presented here demonstrates our first steps towards building a ‘learning health system’ that we hope will change the care for brain cancer patients, tightly integrate clinical care and research, and help us learn from each individual’s experience." said Matt Warner, Scientist at Cancer Commons.
