Myriad Genetics partners with PATHOMIQ for AI tech platform

Myriad Genetics (MYGN) and PATHOMIQ entered into a strategic collaboration for Myriad to exclusively license PATHOMIQ_PRAD, PATHOMIQ’s AI technology platform for prostate cancer, in the United States. Machine learning and AI-enabled diagnostics are transforming the way clinicians approach cancer patient care. Adding PATHOMIQ_PRAD to Myriad’s Oncology Solutions allows Myriad to provide urologist and radiation oncologists with molecular and AI-powered testing solutions to inform decisions both before treatment at the time of biopsy for active surveillance and following surgery or radiation treatment. This complements Myriad’s existing offerings of combined germline and comprehensive tumor profiling as recommended by NCCN guidelines for prostate cancer care. In addition to expanding Myriad’s prostate cancer testing portfolio to include post-surgical treatment testing solutions, the collaboration with PATHOMIQ is also envisioned to accelerate the timelines for meeting Simon level 1 evidence for both Prolaris and PATHOMIQ_PRAD. While the current PATHOMIQ_PRAD model is specific for use in patients with prostate cancer after surgery, the underlying foundational model provides opportunities for applications in virtually all solid tumor cancers that are diagnosed through a biopsy with H&E staining. Myriad intends to commercially launch its first AI-driven prostate cancer clinical test later this year.
