Purpose
RefinedScience combines high-fidelity data with cutting-edge science & technology and world-class expertise to inform smarter drug discovery & development. Our transformative insights identify & validate novel drug targets, design smarter clinical trials, and forge paths for stalled clinical-stage drug candidates. Our approach can significantly increase the probability of success while shaving off millions of dollars and years in the process.
PROBLEM: Drug development is SLOW, COSTLY, and RISKY:
- $161B spent on R&D by largest pharma companies in 2023.
- +8.5% increase in R&D costs per year over last decade
- $200B annual revenue at risk through 2030 from looming patent cliffs
- ~96% of oncology programs fail in the clinic
With evolving science & technology, we better understand how disease, patient, & cell diversity impacts diagnosis, response, resistance, and metastasis; however, clinical trials are often not informed with these insights. Additionally, a single person may generate terabytes of healthcare data, but defining, structuring, & analyzing this data to produce actionable insights continues to be a challenge.
A MORE REFINED, SMARTER APPROACH IS NEEDED…

HIGHLY CURATED PATIENT DATA
Our high-fidelity, curated, deep, fit-for-purpose data provide a comprehensive view of disease heterogeneity and precision patient targeting, and serve as the engine for our innovation and differentiation.
- CLINICAL DATA: We have curated clinical data from diverse, real-world sources, including a unique and dynamic live-stream feed from a large, regional hospital system. We also ingest, structure, and analyze data from pharma & industry partners, federated data, clinical trials, etc., enabling us to accumulate hundreds of clinical data points per patient.
- BIOLOGIC SINGLE CELL DATA: We have constructed the most expansive single-cell omics dataset in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, etc. with millions of data points per patient derived from a continuously replenished biobank of tissue samples. Our partnership with hospital systems & others enables us to replicate these one-of-a-kind datasets across diseases, e.g. hematology, oncology, immunology, neuroscience, etc.
CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY & DATA PROCESSING
We have created a team of expert data scientists to apply cutting-edge science and technology to the analysis of deep data, including the use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and predictive models of toxicity and outcomes. Our approach includes:
- Identification, abstraction, curation, and harmonization of data
- Interrogation of data to discover patterns, trends, and correlations
- Generation of transformative insights, advances, and new tools.
WORLD-LEADING EXPERTS
Our transformative insights could not be discovered were it not for our world-class multi-disciplinary team of academic & industry experts. We have built a team of the best and brightest minds in bioinformatics, AI, molecular/cellular biology, clinical care, and innovation, including partnerships with world-renowned KOLs.
PROVEN, SCALABLE MODEL
Our transformative approach to precision drug development is proven and scalable. Take, for instance, our work in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML):
- AML patients have poor survival rates and can develop resistance to standard of care targeted therapies. RefinedScience leveraged its proprietary, world-class AML dataset to uncover important targets, such as CD70, for patients who develop resistance.
- RefinedScience took these insights to Argenx with a CD70 drug candidate, cusatuzumab, that suggested promising results in a Phase 1b study. Argenx and RefinedScience agreed to spin off a new joint venture (JV) called OncoVerity.
- Applying RefinedSciences transformative insights, OncoVerity designed a smart Phase 2 trial enriching for patients with unmet medical need with the potential for responses, increasing the probability of success.
