Why Multi-Omic Strategies Matter
🏭

The Challenge

Most clinical programmes generate genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and clinical data. Without integration, those datasets remain fragmented - and the biology stays hidden.

⚠

The Risk

Without a complete view of the biology, important biomarker signals can be missed, patient stratification opportunities overlooked, and trial outcomes become harder to explain.

📈

The Outcome

Multi-omic approaches help uncover the biological factors influencing treatment response, enabling more informed clinical trial decisions.

Why Watch

Questions This Webinar Helps Answer

Explore how multi-omic analysis can help answer some of the most important questions facing translational and clinical teams.

?

Identify Patients Most Likely to Respond

Explore how integrated molecular analysis can help investigate which patients respond to treatment and surface biological signals that single-biomarker approaches may miss.

?

See Multi-Omics Applied in a Real Clinical Programme

Hear directly from Candel Therapeutics' CSO on how multi-omic analysis informed biomarker strategy and clinical development decisions.

?

Discover Unexpected Biological Signals

Learn how integrated multi-omic analysis can uncover relationships that may be missed using traditional one-biomarker-at-a-time approaches - including signals you weren't specifically looking for.

?

Generate Defensible Biomarker Evidence

Learn how integrated data analysis can strengthen confidence in biomarker findings and support evidence-based programme decisions.

What to Expect

What You'll Learn

Part 01

Multi-Omic Strategies for Patient Stratification

An expert overview of how multi-omic approaches - including MOFA and integrated data analysis - help investigate treatment response and surface biological signals across data modalities in oncology programmes.

Part 02

Candel Therapeutics Case Study

Dr Francesca Barone walks through how Candel applied multi-omic analysis to a Phase 2 trial in non-small cell lung cancer - including the MOFA-driven biomarker strategy and what the analysis revealed about treatment response and site of injection.

Part 03

Applying Multi-Omics in Practice

Learn how teams can move from fragmented datasets to actionable clinical insights, with practical lessons from real-world programme experience.

Featured Clinical Programme

Candel Therapeutics

See how Candel Therapeutics used multi-omic analysis to investigate treatment response in a Phase 2 NSCLC programme - and how integrating data across biological platforms surfaced signals that neither the mechanism of action nor individual biomarker analysis would have revealed alone.

  • Multi-omic data integration
  • Multi-modal biomarker analysis
  • Biomarker discovery
  • Clinical trial decision support
  • Translational insights from a Phase 2 programme
Watch the Case Study
🔬

Phase 2 Trial in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

CAN-2409 was studied in stage 3/4 non-resectable NSCLC patients who had failed checkpoint inhibitors. Median overall survival exceeded 22 months across both cohorts - against a standard of care expectation of around 12 months.

📊

Integrated Biomarker Analysis

Sonrai integrated flow cytometry, CyTOF and proteomics (O-link) data across more than 3,200 variables per patient using MOFA - identifying 22 factors that captured coherent biological patterns across platforms and correlating them with clinical outcomes.

🎯

Response-Associated Biomarker Patterns

MOFA integration surfaced Factor 18 - a latent biological pattern correlating with survival outcomes, injection site and histology. These signals were not anticipated from the mechanism of action and would not have emerged from single-platform analysis.
