EP.06G.09 Harnessing Real-World Data for Translational Research in Lung Cancer: MD Anderson Thoracic GEMINI Program

Pdf Summary

The MD Anderson GEMINI Program is a significant initiative aimed at advancing lung cancer research through the comprehensive collection and analysis of patient data. Recognizing the vital role of real-world data in shaping treatment strategies and clinical trials, the program systematically gathers and curates extensive clinical, demographic, and molecular data from lung cancer patients. With the involvement of a multidisciplinary team, including oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists, GEMINI has successfully amassed data on 14,000 patients, collected 36,053 blood samples, and preserved 383 tumor tissues.<br /><br />The program's vast database, encompassing 850 data points per patient, has facilitated 120 research projects and resulted in 115 publications, showcasing its broad impact on the lung cancer research community. GEMINI operates as a collaborative research platform, not only within MD Anderson but also with other institutions, fostering the exchange of knowledge and innovation in the field.<br /><br />By integrating artificial intelligence technology, GEMINI aims to refine predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy and identify candidates for pivotal clinical trials. The initiative is strategically designed to improve lung cancer treatment and care, enhancing patient survival rates and quality of life.<br /><br />GEMINI is generously supported by philanthropic contributions to the MD Anderson Lung Moon Shot Program and the MD Anderson Cancer Center Support Grant. Its prospective approach and dedicated resources make it a cornerstone of translational research, accelerating the discovery of novel treatment insights and influencing future clinical applications.
