Guardant Health announced the introduction of Guardant GalaxyTM, a suite of advanced analytical technologies developed internally and through outside partnerships to enhance the performance and clinical utility of Guardant Health’s portfolio of cancer tests and to power the next generation of biomarker and drug discovery.
The first application in the Guardant Galaxy suite is an AI-backed digital pathology platform developed by Lunit®, a Seoul, South Korea-based company that develops AI solutions for precision diagnostics and therapeutics.
In addition to enhancing current standard-of-care biomarker interpretation, early Guardant Galaxy applications will also include novel native AI analysis applications, including the prediction of patient response to immunotherapy based on the spatial distribution of immune, stromal and tumor cells in standard H&E-stained slides.
Additional planned applications include enhanced oncology drug and biomarker discovery and development capabilities based on mining the extensive genomic and epigenomic data produced by Guardant Health’s diagnostic tests, cross-referenced to real-world outcomes data available through the GuardantINFORM data platform. Guardant Health also plans to expand the Guardant Galaxy technology suite over time to include other technology partnerships that will support additional segments of its cancer diagnostics portfolio.
