IsoCode, IsoPlexis' single-cell precision platform, captured novel data from CAR-T products developed by Novartis Pharmaceuticals (Novartis), leading to IsoPlexis' development of new bioinformatics tools for visualizing high-dimensional, single-cell, proteomics data. Researchers from IsoPlexis and Novartis published the results from their collaboration in the November issue of the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer.

IsoPlexis collaboration offers breakthrough insights into detecting and predicting patient response to t-cell therapy. Data captured by IsoCode, IsoPlexis' single-cell precision engineering platform, detected a statistically significant association between the potency of CAR-T cell product prior to treatment and objective response of cancer patients post-treatment. The results highlight the potential to predict whether cancer patients will respond to CAR-T cell therapy prior to treatment, as well as to improve both pre-infusion potency testing and cell product design.
