Phesi urges smarter use of oncology trial data as ASCO 2025 nears

15 May 2025

US analytics specialist Phesi has called for a major rethink in how oncology trials are planned and run, saying clinical development has failed to keep pace with scientific progress.

Ahead of the ASCO 2025 meeting, Phesi released new figures showing vast troves of real-world patient data remain underused by trial sponsors. The firm’s AI-powered Trial Accelerator platform has now amassed 167 million contextualized patient records, with colorectal cancer data alone representing nearly 6 million patients across more than 18,000 cohorts.

That figure tops other major cancers, including breast (4.8 million), lung (3 million), liver (2.3 million), and prostate (2.2 million), according to the company.
