Conduit Pharmaceuticals Expands Partnership With Sarborg Limited to Leverage Machine Learning Data Analysis for Pipeline Optimization
Conduit Pharmaceuticals Inc. recently announced that it has entered into an additional license and use agreement with Sarborg Limited to expand the scope of work on Conduit’s acquired AstraZeneca assets, including AZD1656, AZD5658, and AZD5904.
Under the agreement, Sarborg will apply its proprietary machine learning algorithms to conduct an in-depth analysis of Conduit’s clinical and safety data, with the goal of uncovering missed insights, identifying potential drug repurposing opportunities, and highlighting gaps in existing datasets. A key focus will be the re-evaluation of historical clinical trial data, including endpoints, to determine whether specific patient subgroups may have demonstrated therapeutic benefits, findings that could refine Conduit’s future clinical development strategy.
Sarborg has granted Conduit a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access its advanced algorithmic platform for the duration of the six-month agreement. The collaboration builds upon the existing Services Agreement between the two parties, which remains in full effect.
“This expanded partnership with Sarborg underscores our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge data science to maximize the potential of our pipeline,” said Dr. David Tapolczay, Chief Executive Officer of Conduit Pharmaceuticals. “By applying advanced analytics to our clinical datasets, we aim to uncover new opportunities that could enhance the development pathway for our key assets, including AZD1656.”
Conduit is a dynamic, multi-asset clinical stage, life science company delivering an efficient model for compound development. Conduit both acquires and funds the development of Phase 2-ready assets, building an integrated and advanced platform-driven approach powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and cybernetics, and seeking an exit through third-party license deals following successful clinical trials. Led by a highly experienced team of pharmaceutical executives including Dr. David Tapolczay and Dr. Freda Lewis-Hall, this novel approach is a departure from the traditional pharma/biotech business model of taking assets through regulatory approval.
