Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:TEM), a technology company leading the adoption of AI to advance precision medicine and patient care, today announces an expansion to its collaboration with Takeda (NYSE:TAK) that takes a data-first approach to research and development, with the aim of enhancing Takeda's oncology research and development efforts.

After an initial collaboration that leveraged Tempus' de-identified multimodal datasets, this new agreement will expand upon that work. Takeda will combine Tempus' multimodal real-world datasets and Tempus' biological modeling capabilities to advance Takeda's pipeline of cancer therapeutics, which includes antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), small molecules, bispecifics and gamma delta T-cell therapies.

Takeda researchers will use Tempus' analytics platform, Lens, to gain real-time access to de-identified patient records as well as a suite of AI-enabled tools to accelerate critical insights for Takeda's drug development efforts. Initial work has resulted in research that will be presented at an upcoming medical congress.
