CHICAGO: Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM), a technology company leading the adoption of AI to advance precision medicine, and Blood Cancer United® (formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society), the largest global nonprofit focused on blood cancer patient support, research, and advocacy, today announced a strategic collaboration to develop a comprehensive, patient-centered, real-world registry for pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (pAML), a rare and aggressive blood cancer.

Part of the Blood Cancer United Dare to Dream Project, the collaboration serves a dual purpose: empowering patients with their health-related data and information relevant to their journey and fueling broader scientific breakthroughs.

The collaboration will leverage olivia, Tempus’ AI-enabled personal health concierge app that centralizes health data into a single platform and uses AI to make that information accessible, actionable, and meaningful. Patients participating will receive access to olivia, which will provide tailored materials that utilize Blood Cancer United’s library of educational and patient support and access resources. Materials will be aligned to their disease subtype, treatment stage, and care needs - delivering timely, relevant information throughout their journey. olivia will also enable the collection of longitudinal electronic patient-reported outcomes and questionnaire data to inform and strengthen the registry.

olivia will be used alongside Lens, Tempus’ cloud-based analytics workspace that enables researchers to access and analyze multimodal, de-identified data. This approach will support the creation of one of the largest pAML registries to date, generating insights to drive new therapies and research breakthroughs.

The Blood Cancer United Dare to Dream Project is dedicated to transforming treatment and care for children with blood cancer. By funding groundbreaking research and clinical trial innovation-including PedAL, the first-ever pediatric acute leukemia Master Clinical Trial-the project actively shifts the landscape of pediatric oncology. Beyond the lab, Dare to Dream expands vital support services and leads advocacy efforts to ensure all children with blood cancers have access to affordable, quality healthcare.

“This collaboration will help patients and families now and lays the groundwork for an innovative, patient‑centered approach for the future. For rare disease subtypes like pediatric leukemia, it can be a challenge to enroll enough patients for both an experimental arm and a traditional control arm, which can delay or even prevent trials from starting,” says Gwen Nichols, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Blood Cancer United. “Our vision is to combine patient‑reported outcomes with de‑identified medical and genomic data to create external control arms and other real‑world comparators, which will allow trials to run faster, let more children receive investigational therapies, and bring safer, more effective treatments to kids sooner.”

“Our work with the Blood Cancer United Dare to Dream Project is a significant step forward in our shared commitment to advance precision medicine, particularly in rare cancers like pediatric AML where high-quality, comprehensive data is desperately needed,” said Max Banaszak, COO of Data & Apps at Tempus. “By combining Tempus’ AI-enabled platform with Blood Cancer United’s deep connection to the patient community, we can create a powerful resource that we hope will improve both care and outcomes for children diagnosed with this devastating disease and accelerate research."
