Paris-based Orakl Oncology has raised a $34M Series A co-led by Norrsken VC and Singular, bringing total funding to $50M. The company grows small copies of patients' tumours, tests drugs on them and combines the results with medical records to train AI that predicts clinical trial outcomes. The financing will support five times more laboratory data, expansion into lung and gastric cancers, and teams in the US and UK. An April preprint tested the model retrospectively on 23 colorectal and pancreatic cancer trials, mostly involving standard chemotherapy; performance on newer drugs still needs to be proven.
