CureMatch and WeHealth By Servier Announce Partnership to Deliver A Digital Decision-Support Platform For Oncologists Worldwide
CureMatch and WeHealth by Servier announce a partnership to develop and commercialize the "CureMatch" platform which allows oncologists to analyze a patient's genomic data and predict matched and scored drug treatment options.
SAN DIEGO and PARIS, March 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WeHealth by Servier, Servier Group's e-health department, and, CureMatch, a leader in digital health precision medicine today announced a partnership to jointly bring the CureMatch platform to oncologists, clinics and hospitals around the world.
Today, oncologists face the daunting task of understanding thousands of genomic abnormalities and hundreds of drugs in order to select treatment options for their cancer patients. Powerful new technologies like next generation sequencing have uncovered enormous heterogeneity amongst cancer patients, which tremendously complicates the decision-making process. "Each cancer is like a snowflake—complex and unique," says Dr. Razelle Kurzrock, one of the world's leading precision medicine oncologists and CureMatch Founder. "Their genetic profile is unique, their tumors are unique, and their treatment should account for these differences."
"The vision of WeHealth is to offer a precision medicine approach where the patient is at the center of an individualized diagnosis and treatment. Our collaboration with CureMatch opens a large spectrum of potential benefits for the patients and for oncologists through a better disease management," says Dr. David Guez, Director General of WeHealth by Servier.
The WeHealth by Servier/CureMatch partnership will bring the best of both worlds together in the fight against cancer. "As a small, innovative company at the leading edge of precision medicine, we know we have something special to offer, but we don't have the scale or infrastructure of a large company," says Bob Manning, CEO of CureMatch. "Our partnership with WeHealth will provide corporate size and strength to reach oncologists around the world so much faster than we ever could on our own. The power of the partnership goes beyond the power of WeHealth as it encompasses Servier's sales and marketing expertise, and provides co-development efforts around additional software development and clinical trial programs."
