DENVER & TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VieCure, a cancer care company with a market leading artificial intelligence, informatics, and clinical decision support platform, announced today a new strategic collaboration with Clarified Precision Medicine which will make precision oncology more accessible for patients and community oncologists. In recent years there has been a large shift towards the use of cancer treatments which respond specifically to the molecular profile of the cancer (e.g., genomic data). These data are complex, considerable, and difficult to access at the community oncology level. This has highlighted a critical absence of medical guidance for both providers and payors and has motivated VieCure and Clarified Precision Medicine to work together to provide oncologists and their patients with clear, usable interpretations of any commercial comprehensive molecular profiling test along with a ranked list of treatment options which are reviewed by nationally recognized precision oncology experts. This partnership will also facilitate objective, third-party clinical review to assist a payor with prior authorization or an approval decision.
VieCure will fully integrate the Clarified Precision Medicine Somatic and Germline Clinical Consultation process within its A.I. platform and offer community oncologists with streamlined access to Clarified’s nationally recognized test interpretation team. These professionals will function as elastic supply for the clinical providers on the ground who are working tirelessly everyday to help cancer patients and offer them with the best patient specific options possible. Clarified Precision Medicine has also developed additional tools which help providers manage toxicities, optimize supportive care, and improve overall clinical efficiency.
“In recent years, we have witnessed the introduction of improved access to an individual’s tax preparation to the point that tax experts are now available via the tax software. The Viecure-Clarified partnership offers a precision oncology expert version, where elite, expert precision medicine guidance can be accessed while using the Viecure clinical decision support platform. We are excited about embedding our expertise to further accelerate the adoption of precision oncology and help more patients and providers over the next several years,” said Dr. Howard McLeod, a Nationally-recognized Precision Oncology expert.
VieCure will integrate the Clarified Medicine Precision testing tools within its platform and make the Clarified offering available to oncologists and clinical users later this year. Oncologists using the VieCure platform will be able to order their molecular test (eg. next generation tumor sequencing) directly out of the VieCure platform and then obtain their precision medicine review within 48 hours following three easy steps:
- VieCure’s platform ingests discrete molecular test results for review and interpretation.
- Clarified Precision Medicine’s clinical experts will review the molecular test results.
- Within 48 hours of receipt of the molecular test results within the VieCure platform, the clinical provider will receive an easy to understand report condensing the patient’s results into a ranked list of treatment options (including clinical trials) and suggestions about any additional testing, if necessary, within the VieCure platform. Furthermore, the provider can connect with the Clarified Precision Medicine expert to discuss the results as needed.
“VieCure and Clarified Precision Medicine, together, are further democratizing precision oncology and making it easier for community oncologists to offer the right care for the right patient every time,” said Dr. Fred Ashbury, Chief Scientific Officer at VieCure.
