IV BioHoldings (IVBH) – a clinical-stage bio-platform company that conceives, creates and scales first-generation precision health solutions that improve the detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease – has partnered with Sonrai Analytics. Sonrai's customized, advanced AI applications will bolster IVBH's analytic capabilities, allowing for improvements on clinical insights for the company's pipeline of noninvasive diagnostics for lung cancer, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and breast cancer.
"In the digital age, abundance beats scarcity every single time," said IVBH Founder-CEO Marty Keiser. "The IVBH-Sonrai partnership is the ultimate expression of abundance, leveraging AI to democratize healthcare R&D and accelerating massive value creation for all stakeholders through our novel and highly efficient decentralized partnership model."
Over the last year, says Keiser, IVBH transitioned its time and resources institutionalizing the people, partners and infrastructure required to accelerate its diagnostic solutions to market with speed, efficiency, and a rigorous approach to risk mitigation.
"The collaboration with Sonrai closes the loop for us, providing IVBH with the dedicated data science, engineering and regulatory expertise — and the AI-powered solutions required to optimize the IVBH platform — from R&D through commercialization," added Keiser.
Sonrai Analytics — based in Belfast, Northern Ireland — adopts artificial intelligence approaches to help biotech, CRO and pharma companies efficiently utilize their data. Sonrai's cloud-based platform provides full transparency and user-control; the ability to manage structured and unstructured data sources and file types from small CSV files to terabytes of Gigapixel images; and advanced AI, machine learning and deep learning methods to extract maximum value from modern precision medicine digital approaches.
"From the very first meeting, it was evident that IVBH was approaching everything in a completely novel way," said Sonrai Founder-CEO Darragh McArt, Ph.D. "Their unique focus on commercializing multi-modal RNA solutions in healthcare areas of poor clinical outcome fit within the context of an integrative diagnostic ensemble, which aligned perfectly not just with the experience of the Sonrai team but also with the intentional design of Sonrai's platform, making this partnership a very natural fit."
The collaboration comes at an important inflection for both companies, with promising early clinical data being generated across the IVBH offering through the company's strategic lab partner P4 Diagnostix, and Sonrai having successfully navigated a new venture round supporting large AI-driven programs, such as with the United Kingdom's National Health Service.
While the relationship between the two high-growth companies is expansive, both will be squarely focused on interrogating, interpreting and disseminating findings within all clinical data related to IVBH's existing pipeline of noninvasive PCR technologies, with the first clinical data readout expected for the genTRU-breast cancer program this summer. This will be followed closely by the lung cancer and NAFLD programs, with plans for reaching a commercial launch-phase for all three programs by the end of 2023 and an eye toward future expansion within women's health, pulmonary disease and metabolic disease — as well as entrance into new markets.
