Software System with Applications in Clinical Prognosis, Personalized Medicine and Clinical Research

Description of Invention:
Available for licensing is software that can provide prognostic information for different diseases and in particular for cancer. The software can determine whether a particular genotype has a significant association with survival time for an individual receiving treatment. For example, it can determine if a specific genetic pattern is associated with an increased or decreased time to recurrence of a particular type of cancer for patients on a given treatment regimen.

Applications:

• Applications in clinical research:
• Studying relationship between genotypes and survival times
• Evaluation of treatment regimens
• Applications in drug discovery programs
• Clinical prognosis
• Personalized medicine

Development Status:

• The invention has been fully developed.
• The software will be readily available in executable form if so requested.
