Unlocking Insights
in Immuno-Oncology
LynxCare's comprehensive data asset* offers fresh insights into patients treated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors including comorbidity factors, treatment patterns, adverse events (cardiotoxicity) and median overall survival. With over 2000 estimated patients and 579 endpoints measured, our granular and quality-controlled real-world dataset can unlock invaluable insights into the treatment and prognosis of immuno-oncology (IO), empowering clinicians to make informed decisions.
Closing the Gap
The Value of Unstructured Data in Immuno-Oncology
Comorbidity Data Gap
The majority of randomized clinical trials for immuno-oncology exclude patients with significant comorbidities, yet these patients make up a large proportion of the immuno-oncology population.
Our data asset offers insights into the relationship of specific comorbidities, adverse events and biomarkers with immuno-oncology prognosis, bridging an important knowledge gap and informing treatment and follow-up decisions.
Evidenced by our data which yielded a higher prevalence of Dementia of 10% compared to 5% with structured data alone.
Reason for treatment line switch
Structured data alone only provides part of the picture, missing key nuances. Combining structured data with rich EHR narrative data can improve our understanding of toxicity reasons, as evidenced by our data which yielded a higher auto-immune disease detection of 13.5 % compared to 4.7 % with structured data alone.
Real-World Insights
Using our real-world dataset, with a mean follow-up time of over four years, we can analyze adverse events, OS, and treatment patterns in real time, providing invaluable insights into the patient pathway of immuno-oncology.

Diversity and Real-World Representation in Our Dataset
Our dataset reflects the diversity of the Belgian population, which includes a mix of different nationalities. For example, in Brussels alone there are 189 different nationalities and 40% of the population is not native. In addition, the LynxCare datasets continue to expand, encompassing real-world data from hospitals across Europe.
We also try to maintain a 50/50 split of academic vs non-academic settings per project to ensure that our data reflects the real world. At LynxCare, we believe that real-world data should be just that - real.
