Access Oncology Discovery Data & Custom Cohorts
Aster Insights has cultivated an exclusive clinical network through a one-of-a-kind collaboration between leading bio-pharmaceutical companies and prominent cancer centers across the United States.
With 350,000+ lifetime consented patients in the HIPAA-Compliant Total Cancer CareTM (TCC) Protocol, AVATAR is uniquely designed to help solve target identification, biomarker discovery, and indication strategy.
We do this by providing longitudinal clinical data and highly-curated molecular information — Whole Exome Sequencing (WES), Whole Transcriptome Sequencing (WTS) and Germline sequencing datasets—all while shielding the patient’s identity behind an AVATAR.
With AVATAR, you gain unmatched connectivity to real-world oncology data from tens of thousands of consenting cancer patients over their lifetime.
Our pre-defined and precision cohorts, which accurately reflect the nuanced and personal nature of cancer, are driving drug discovery like never before.
