As the COVID-19
pandemic has impacted many areas of life, including the diagnosis and treatment
of other health conditions, people have chosen to forgo care in attempts to minimize
their potential exposure to the Coronavirus. Cancer patients are twice as
likely to contract COVID-19, and three times as likely to die from it, compared
to the general population. However, by avoiding time spent in medical
facilities to limit exposure to the virus, patients are delaying treatment and
their disease may spread further. At least 100,000 surgeries in Canada,
including cancer tissue biopsies, have been delayed or postponed since early
March because of COVID-19.
Project
ACTT (Access to Cancer Testing & Treatment in Response to COVID-19) aims to
provide a liquid biopsy solution, that requires only a simple blood draw, as an
alternative to surgical tissue biopsies. This minimally invasive DNA test,
which can be delivered remotely, will then be analyzed by artificial
intelligence technology to identify circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma, and
matches patients with targeted treatments shown to improve outcomes. Not only will
this reduce a patient’s need to attend medical facilities, it will also
increase health system capacity for those with recurrent or metastatic lung,
breast, or colon cancer.
Other
partners in the project include AstraZeneca Canada, Queen’s University, the
Eastern Ontario Regional Laboratory Association, Genolife, emtelligent,
Novateur, Semaphore Solutions and Illumina. Xtract AI will develop, train, and
deploy Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to assist in the
management, understanding, and integration of semi-structured information from
a mutation and cancer-type database.
Martin
Cronin, Patriot One Technologies CEO, said “knowing how far reaching the
effects of COVID-19 are, we’re delighted to be involved in another project
utilizing artificial intelligence, and our team’s expertise, in an effort to
significantly, and hopefully positively, impact the lives of cancer patients.”
