xDRIVE Functional Precision Medicine + Artificial Intelligence Individualized Treatments for Florida-based Cancer Patients With Relapsed/ Refractory Cancers
First Ascent Biomedical Inc.
Summary
Through this study funded by the Florida Cancer Innovation Fund, First Ascent will demonstrate state-wide feasibility of providing xDRIVE Functional Precision Medicine + Artificial Intelligence platform by assessing patient clinical benefit and health economics impacts. As this is a feasibility study, results will be returned to the physician and the physician may use the data to inform the next line of treatment. The investigator will run a prospective single-arm feasibility study providing the xDRIVE FPM AI platform to n = 210+ cancer patients throughout the state of Florida, especially those from underserved populations (pediatric patients and patients in Black, Brown, Hispanic, and rural communities).
