We're Unlocking Novel Disease Insights into the Glycoproteome

Historically, the complexity of data generated using mass spectrometry had made it virtually impossible to study the glycoproteome of at scale. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning to accelerate data processing, GlycoVision has overcome this barrier and is generating crucial information that is missing from the existing -omics landscape.

THE MISSING PIECE OF THE -OMICS PUZZLE

GlycoVision is the first commercially available glycoproteomic platform that enables the generation of new disease insights and the discovery of a robust pipeline of biomarkers for early disease detection, response prediction, disease prognosis, and therapeutic monitoring. Together we can discover a spectrum of novel, high-performing biomarkers to revolutionize our understanding of disease pathways and therapeutic response.

TARGETED SOLUTIONS FOR ALL YOUR CLINICAL NEEDS

GlycoVision detects approximately 700 of the most highly abundant glycoisoforms found in blood with well-established disease involvement. The platform generates fast and reproducible results to help select patients for clinical trials, monitor efficacy of therapy, and enable new drug target identification.

Our technology does not depend on biomarkers that are produced by a tumor; instead, it relies on an amplification orchestrated by the highly sensitive host immune system, enabling detection at the earliest stages of disease.

Insights into clinical trial design, patient selection, and other clinical endpoints.

GlycoVision Knowledge Graph

Discover key connections in your drug pathway with our knowledge graph

InterVenn has created the first knowledge graph of its kind, combining InterVenn’s glycoproteomic data along with highly curated, public datasets (genomics, proteomics, pathways, publications, and clinical trials) to provide unique insights on disease related pathways.

A better understanding of the relationships between -omics data will help explain why certain patients respond better than others to a drug, provide hypotheses that support new treatment combinations and lead to the identification of new therapeutic targets.

The knowledge graph will enable you to further uncover the complexity of human biology.

FRONTIERS IN IMMUNOLOGY

Plasma glycoproteomic biomarkers identify metastatic melanoma patients with reduced clinical benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy

Front. Immunol., 13 June 2023 | Sec. Cancer Immunity and Immunotherapy | Volume 14 - 2023

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are effective treatments for advanced or metastatic melanoma, but not all patients show durable response.

Compared to prior studies, like the one seen in Figure 1, we improved separation and ability to select patients who will benefit from IO.

We have identified biomarkers that can predict which patient populations are likely or unlikely to benefit from anti-PD-1 monotherapy or anti-CTLA-4/PD-1 combination therapy.

The initial model was developed using a discovery cohort of 202 patients recruited as part of studies conducted at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). These patients had metastatic melanoma treated with first or second-line anti-PD-1 monotherapy or anti-PD-1/anti-CTLA-4 combination therapy.

The model was further tested with an independent validation cohort to confirm the performance characteristics of the classifier. This cohort of 27 patients was recruited as part of studies conducted at Royal Adelaide Hospital. The cohort included patients with metastatic melanoma treated with first or second-line anti-PD-1 monotherapy (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) or anti-PD-1/anti-CTLA-4 combination therapy (nivolumab/ipilimumab).

Why Study Glycoproteomics?

Glycoproteomics provides a unique perspective by defining the roles of glycosylation in regulating health and disease. It complements other -omics by contributing detailed information about protein modifications that critically influence protein function and stability, offering insights into disease mechanisms that are not apparent through other -omics analyses alone.

The integration of data from various -omics fields, including glycoproteomics, is a powerful approach for obtaining a comprehensive understanding of biological systems.
