Despite advances in understanding, preventing and treating cancer, the disease continues to pose a substantial challenge, burdening healthcare systems.
Boehringer is focused on altering this landscape by fostering the discovery and development of treatments for individuals with difficult-to-treat cancers.
Boehringer will gain access to the de-identified database of Tempus, which includes clinical, imaging and molecular data, as well as the analytical platform Lens.
The objectives are to scrutinise data from subject cohorts to direct the development of biomarkers and subject stratification, formulate hypotheses for drug combinations, provide support in discovering new targets and offer insights into the healthcare experiences of patients.
