CŌRE Diagnostics, a leading Indian clinical laboratory specialising in next-generation diagnostics and precision oncology, and Oncoshot India, an innovative real-time health insights exchange platform, have announced a strategic partnership to revolutionise the landscape of oncology clinical trials. This collaboration will leverage Oncoshot's advanced federated architecture for secure health data exchange, enabling faster, more efficient, and cost-effective trials.

CŌRE Diagnostics has been at the forefront of bringing advanced testing techniques and expertise to India. The company focuses on oncology, genomics, histopathology, and transplant immunology, offering consultative diagnostic reports that educate both physicians and patients. CŌRE Diagnostics is distinguished by its innovative approach, offering a second opinion on every test from its panel of specialised organ experts. The company stands out with its world-class group of specialists, ensuring that diagnostic reports are not just data but comprehensive insights.

Oncoshot's federated architecture involves deploying identical federated units within hospitals, securely interacting with a central cluster tailored for pharmaceutical or contract research organisation (CRO) users. This approach ensures that patient data remains within a hospital's premises, addressing security concerns while enabling the generation of aggregated patient population insights. The innovative federated architecture developed by Oncoshot allows secure insights exchange without directly sharing patient data.

Transforming the Clinical Trial Landscape

The collaboration between CŌRE Diagnostics and Oncoshot addresses critical challenges in the clinical trial landscape. Traditionally, oncology clinical trials have been hampered by fragmented data, lengthy recruitment processes, and high costs. Patient data has been siloed within healthcare institutions, creating inefficiencies and delays in clinical trial processes. CŌRE Diagnostics and Oncoshot aim to address these challenges through:

• Faster and Targeted Patient Recruitment: CŌRE Diagnostics' vast network of laboratories and expertise in precision oncology will facilitate targeted patient identification and recruitment for clinical trials.

• Accelerated Patient Enrolment: The federated architecture expedites patient matching for clinical trials, reducing the time from feasibility to site activation from months to weeks.

• Improved Precision Oncology Clinical Trial Efficiency: By providing sponsor users with real-time insights derived from aggregated patient data, the collaboration enhances decision-making in clinical trial planning and execution.

• Streamlined Trial Processes and Reduced Trial Costs: The streamlined insights exchange and efficient trial processes enabled by this partnership will significantly reduce the time and overall cost associated with conducting clinical trials.

• Enhanced Data Privacy: The federated architecture maintains the highest standards of data privacy, complying with international standards such as ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, SOC2, and regulations like GDPR, PDPA, and HIPAA.

• Secure and Efficient Data Sharing: Oncoshot's federated architecture protects patient privacy while granting institutions access to real-time insights.

The Future of Oncology Clinical Trials

The CŌRE Diagnostics and Oncoshot partnership marks a vital advancement in the field of oncology clinical trials. By leveraging secure insights exchange and federated architecture, this alliance holds the potential to transform trials through:

• Faster Development of Novel Therapies: More efficient trials powered by real-world data will accelerate the development of innovative treatments to help save patients’ lives.

• Personalised and Optimised Care: Secure data insights allow truly tailored treatment regimens for maximised outcomes in cancer patients.

• Driving Systemic Efficiency: Streamlining cumbersome trial processes leads to overall lower healthcare costs through faster access to new life-saving medicines.
