The Translational Gap

A human-relevance problem, not a data problem

A male scientist looking through a microscope

Roughly 90% of oncology candidates fail in the clinic — largely because animal and cell-line models don't predict efficacy. Genomics shows what is present, not what works. xCellSense® tests your asset in live primary cells from blood-cancer patients — the biology those models miss.

This is functional precision medicine aligned with where regulation is heading: the FDA Modernization Act 2.0 (2022) and the FDA's 2025 NAMs Roadmap make primary human-derived, cell-based functional data not just desirable, but expected.

One Sample. One Decision.

Integrated readouts from a single primary sample

xCellSense® processes a single primary patient sample using an integrated workflow:

Ex vivo drug sensitivity

Dose-response (IC₅₀, AUC, Eₘₐₓ) for your asset and comparators using the same patient cells — preserved in our proprietary Optimum Media, which maintains primary blood-cancer cell viability where conventional media fail.

Drug combination synergy

Quantitative synergy and antagonism scoring (Bliss, Loewe, ZIP, HSA) to rank regimens — including the sponsor asset ± standard-of-care (SoC) backbones.

Multiparameter flow cytometry

Drug effect, antigen density, target engagement, and malignant-vs.-normal selectivity — resolved across blast, stem-cell, differentiated, and immune compartments from the same well. Population resolution where bulk viability only gives an average.

ML-integrated analysis

Machine-learning-driven analytics that score synergy, stratify responders from non-responders, and translate complex readouts into a sponsor-ready interpretation — not a raw-data dump.

The Category of One

What no other hematology-oncology CRO delivers

✅ xCellSense®

ML-integrated synergy scoring on live, primary patient cells. Functional, human-relevant evidence — in weeks, not months.

Generalist CROs

Broad assay menus on cell lines. No heme-oncology specialization, no synergy scoring, months to data.

PDX CROs

Propagated models at higher cost and longer timelines, a step removed from the patient.

Genomics platforms

Describe biology without predicting functional, disease-relevant drug response.
