Predictive precision medicine, which predicts the most effective treatment for each patient, is revolutionizing cancer care. Notable Labs leverages this approach to improve cancer treatment by identifying optimal therapies for individual patients. According to a 2020 Stanford study, Notable's Predictive Medicine Platform (PMP) accurately predicted patient response to interventions in over 85% of cases. This technology analyzes how cancer cells respond to various treatments using flow cytometry and machine learning algorithms, providing actionable insights quickly. Notable Labs' collaborations with leading institutions have demonstrated significant success in treating pediatric leukemia, particularly rare and aggressive forms like pAML and JMML. By partnering with renowned medical centers and advancing the use of predictive diagnostics, Notable Labs is at the forefront of transforming pediatric oncology and improving outcomes for young patients.

Combination therapy in cancer treatment involves using multiple therapeutic agents to target various aspects of the disease, offering improved patient outcomes. Notable Labs is leading advancements in this field, exemplified by its collaboration with Syros Pharmaceuticals to develop a predictive test for a combination therapy against non-acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Notable’s Predictive Precision Medicine Platform (PPMP) uses ex vivo drug sensitivity screening to predict patient responses to treatments, enhancing the effectiveness and safety of combination therapies. Despite current commercial challenges, Notable is focused on refining and expanding its technology, ensuring seamless integration into healthcare systems.

Leukemia, a broad term for cancers of the blood cells, affects both the blood and bone marrow. It is most prevalent in adults over 55, but it is also the most common cancer in children under 15. Leukemia accounts for about 28% of all childhood cancers, with approximately 3,500 children diagnosed annually in the United States alone. This makes childhood leukemia responsible for nearly one out of every three cancer cases in children and teens. Pediatric leukemias are predominantly acute and can progress rapidly, presenting significant treatment challenges.

Neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases present significant challenges due to their complex and multifactorial nature. Traditional treatments often fall short because they do not account for the individual variability in disease presentation and progression. Personalized treatment is crucial in this context because it allows for interventions that are specifically designed to address the unique genetic and molecular profiles of each patient. This can lead to improved treatment efficacy, fewer side effects, and a better overall quality of life for patients. For example, by identifying specific genetic mutations associated with Alzheimer's, clinicians can develop targeted therapies that slow disease progression and mitigate symptoms more effectively than conventional treatments.
