Massive Bio

US-based Massive Bio is a patient recruitment platform provider that helps patients diagnosed with cancer to find clinical trial operators and sponsors that are in the process of testing and developing treatments for cancer. The company’s platform utilizes AI to match potential patients with its network of pharmaceutical companies across the world. The company’s platform covers therapeutics being developed for over 30 types of cancers and provides additional services such as clinical decision support, personalized analysis of patient history to suggest treatments, clinical coordination, remote patient monitoring, and educational content. The company additionally has developed two ChatGPT-powered AI platforms: AskFiona AI and DrArturo AI, which provide information for patients looking to join clinical trials and for patients that have been enrolled in clinical trials, respectively.

In June 2024, Massive Bio announced the launch of its "Drug Utilization Optimizer (DUO)". The DUO platform is developed to restructure how pharmaceutical commercial teams communicate with physicians and collect data.

The company operates on a B2B2C basis, charging pharmaceutical companies a subscription rate to list their clinical trials on the platform and help identify potential patients for trials. The company is based in the US but has operations across the globe.

Key customers and partnerships

As of June 2024, the company claimed to have helped over 100,000 120,000 patients across 25 countries find the right trial to participate in from its network of over 14,000 clinical trials registered for pre-screening. MassiveBio also noted that it had 80+ global partners and had sponsored 100 clinical trials.

Most recently, in September 2024, Massive Bio and Foundation Medicine, a leader in next-gen sequencing, partnered to increase patient access to cancer clinical trials. Through the partnership, both companies aimed to use their networks and capabilities across the healthcare landscape, employing advanced AI techniques and a robust digital health platform to refine clinical trial processes and enhance precision oncology.

In June 2024, Massive Bio and Inocras partnered to improve personalized cancer treatment and care.The collaboration involved employing Inocras's whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and bioinformatics expertise with Massive Bio's AI technology for clinical trial matching, which informed cancer patients of prospective clinical trials that align with their genetic profile without the need for additional tests. Massive Bio was also expected to enhance the scope of trial enrollment by reducing screen failures using its predictive analytics.
