Leal, formerly known as Trialjectory, has established a proprietary platform for oncologists to quickly identify personalized clinical trial matches for their patients, reducing reliance on unstructured data and expediting patient treatment identification / clinical trial enrollment. The platform is free for oncologists. 

Leal is an AI-powered decision support platform that aims to democratize patient access to advanced cancer treatments. Its goal is to allow the pharmaceutical and biotech industry to execute patient-centric clinical trials

Leveraging AI, Leal’s technology identifies relevant and available clinical trial options for oncologists to present to their patients. It also allows oncologists to customize clinical trial searches through specifying cancer subtypes, biomarkers. and other criteria.

“Traditionally, oncologists have relied on either the major academic centers in the U.S. or on ClinicalTrials.gov to identify potential studies for cancer patient enrollment,” Leonard Lichtenfeld, Leal advisor and former Chief Medical and Scientific Officer at the American Cancer Society, said in a statement. “The problem is that these large research hospitals, while highly reputable, do not always have clinical trials that work best for a patient’s unique medical and personal needs. Furthermore, community oncologists, who play a crucial role in providing care in communities where specialized cancer centers are less accessible, often do not have relationships with the major centers.”

Leal is the largest AI pre-screening platform for clinical trials. Leal says it has facilitated more than 4 million treatment matches, with approximately 20,000 clinical trials and 150,000 cancer patients on its platform. Leal supports over 22 cancer types, covering 95 percent of cancers.

In patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, tarlatamab, a bispecific T-cell engager, plus durvalumab as first-line maintenance therapy extended median overall survival by more than eight months, more than tripled progression-free survival, and reduced the risk of death by 58% compared to durvalumab alone, according to results of the phase III open-label, multicenter, randomized DeLLphi-305 study.
Divarasib, a next-generation KRAS G12C inhibitor, lowered the risk of disease progression or death by 42% and the overall risk of death by 44% in people with previously treated KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer, according to the results from the phase III Krascendo 1 study. The therapy demonstrated the superior efficacy compared with current standard of care KRAS G12C inhibitors. 
Perioperative Imfinzi (durvalumab) plus neoadjuvant Padcev (enfortumab vedotin) reduced risk of recurrence by 49% and risk of death by 42% in muscle-invasive bladder cancer, according to the VOLGA phase III trial. The combination demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in the primary endpoint of event-free survival and key secondary endpoint of overall survival in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer versus standard of care. 
An international phase III clinical trial that treated patients with high-risk localized and locally advanced prostate cancer with apalutamide—a next-generation neoadjuvant androgen-receptor pathway inhibitor—plus hormone therapy before and after prostate cancer surgery, was further validated by a substudy demonstrating a reduced risk of metastasis or death compared with standard of care.
First-line subcutaneous Rybrevant Faspro (amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj) plus a PD-1 inhibitor and fixed-duration carboplatin chemotherapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma showeddeep and durable responses, according to the results from Cohort 5 of the phase Ib/II OrigAMI-4 study.
