BERG To Present Discovery/Validation Of Biomarkers Associated With Survival In Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) Treated With BPM 31510-IV At The European Society For Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2020 Congress

BERG, a clinical-stage biotech that employs artificial intelligence (AI) to investigate diseases and develop innovative treatments, today announced two major medical/clinical research developments on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) to be presented virtually at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2020 Congress taking place from September 19-21, 2020. The first study entitled "Project Survival: High Fidelity Longitudinal Phenotypic and Multi-omic Characterization of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) for Biomarker Discovery", is the culmination of the largest existing high-fidelity characterization of pancreatic cancer from a phenotypic/adaptive multi-omic perspective. BERG's Interrogative Biology platform was employed to identify causal relationships between existing pancreatic cancer therapies and changes in proteomic, metabolic and lipidomic responses to 253 treatment interventions and 211 progression events. The research cohort included PDAC patients across different stages including early, locally advanced and metastatic to yield the most accurate characterization of the evolution of the disease. Throughout the course of the study, 470,000 clinical data points were gathered.
