HARMONY Alliance will present results at the ASH annual meeting 2021

The HARMONY Alliance will present new results of Big Data Research Projects at the 63nd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), taking place as a hybrid meeting on December 11–14, 2021.

In addition, representatives of ASH and HARMONY will participate in an inspiring dedicated session about the role of Real-World data collection in Hematologic Malignancies.

New HARMONY results in AML and CLL

At ASH 2021, HARMONY researchers will present new results related to Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and to Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). Using data from thousands of patients with CLL, they have produced new insights that may be used to identify patients with an unfavorable prognosis. This may result in better-informed treatment choices in the future.

#BigDataforbloodcancer | Big Data accelerate better and faster treatment for Patients with Hematologic Malignancies

The HARMONY Alliance is a European Public–Private Partnership for Big Data in Hematology that is capturing and mining Big Data on various Hematologic Malignancies. The HARMONY Alliance, funded by Innovative Medicines Initiative, unites more than 100 organizations such as European medical associations, hospitals, research institutes, patient organizations, pharmaceutical and IT companies. HARMONY uses Big Data analytics to accelerate the development of more effective treatments for blood cancer patients. The aim is to accelerate the development of more effective treatments. Data are stored in HARMONY’s Big Data Platform, which has already identified over 80,000 anonymized patient records, making it one of the largest databases of its kind. Leading research teams are currently using this wealth of information to answer critical questions about hematologic malignancies that cannot be addressed with other methods.
