In the ASH Abstract 3690 study, the Cellworks Biosimulation Platform and CBM identified immune modulation as a key pathway for predicting azacitidine (AZA) response in MDS.

Key Points: 
  • In the ASH Abstract 3690 study, the Cellworks Biosimulation Platform and CBM identified immune modulation as a key pathway for predicting azacitidine (AZA) response in MDS.
  • The Cellworks Biosimulation Platform simulates how a patient's personalized genomic disease model will respond to therapies prior to treatment and identifies novel drug combinations for treatment-refractory patients.
  • Cellworks Biosimulation Platform found that signaling pathway consequences related to CTNNB1 and c-MYC modulation predict response to DAC + VPA.
  • Biosimulation using the Cellworks Computational Omics Biology Model (CBM) identifies immune modulation as a key pathway for predicting azacitidine (AZA) response in MDS.
