multi-indication, retrospective oncological study to validate the accuracy in predicting ttp by predicare in patients under soc

Conditions: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer; Small Cell Lung Cancer; Prostate Cancer; Breast Cancer; Colon Cancer

Summary: this is a retrospective observational, open label study to evaluate and prospectively validate in a blind manner the accuracy of predicting treatment outcomes by predicare in individual patients with non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, castration-resistant prostate cancer, breast cancer \& colon cancer under the treatment with the mono- and combination drug protocols for the 1st and 2nd line treatment, approved to the market as a standard of care

the goals of this study are assessing and validating the accuracy of the predicare predictions by comparing them to the actual patients outcome. study population will be composed of patients diagnosed with advanced stage disease, and divided according to the indications and treatment protocols. retrospective data collected from patients' files will enable optimata to compare the predicare technology predictions of the pattern of metastatic and primary tumor growth and dynamics of oncological markers over time with the actual outcomes in each individual patient.
