Lunit AI Predicts Immunotherapy Outcome in Colorectal, Kidney, and Lung Cancer at ESMO 2025

AI-powered histopathology demonstrates predictive value for immunotherapy outcomes in pMMR mCRC, advanced ccRCC, and NSCLC with data featured in both oral and poster presentations

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lunit (KRX:328130.KQ), a leading provider of AI for cancer diagnostics and therapeutics, today announced the presentation of three studies at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2025, taking place October 17–21 in Berlin, Germany. All three studies highlight how Lunit’s AI pathology solution, Lunit SCOPE IO®, can identify biomarkers that predict response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), offering new potential to guide more effective and personalized cancer treatment.

Among these, the first study, selected for oral presentation, was conducted in collaboration with Chiara Cremolini, MD, PhD, Professor of Medical Oncology at the University of Pisa, Italy. Researchers applied Lunit SCOPE IO to pre-treatment H&E slides from patients with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) enrolled in the AtezoTRIBE and AVETRIC trials. The AI quantified multiple cell types within the tumor microenvironment, generating a biomarker that stratified patients into “biomarker-high” and “biomarker-low” groups.

In the AtezoTRIBE trial, biomarker-high patients treated with atezolizumab plus FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab showed significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to biomarker-low patients, while no such benefit was observed in the control arm. Validation in the AVETRIC cohort confirmed improved survival outcomes for biomarker-high patients receiving ICI-based therapy, with better PFS and OS compared to biomarker-low patients. These results suggest that an AI-derived tumor microenvironment biomarker could help identify patients with pMMR mCRC who are most likely to benefit from immunotherapy combinations—an urgent unmet need in this population.

A collaborative study with Yonsei University College of Medicine, Korea, evaluated whether AI-defined immune phenotypes (IP) could predict outcomes in patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) treated with either nivolumab plus ipilimumab (NIVO+IPI) or sunitinib (SUN). Using Lunit SCOPE IO, tumors were classified as inflamed or non-inflamed, based on the density and spatial distribution of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.

Patients with inflamed tumors treated with NIVO+IPI demonstrated significantly longer PFS, OS, and higher response rates (60.5% vs. 23.2%) compared to those with non-inflamed tumors. No such benefit was observed in the SUN arm. Findings were validated in an independent ccRCC cohort and aligned with inflamed gene expression signatures from The Cancer Genome Atlas, supporting AI-based immune phenotyping as a promising biomarker to guide treatment selection between immunotherapy combinations and targeted therapies in first-line treatment for ccRCC.

The third study, conducted in collaboration with the National Cancer Center Hospital East (NCCHE) Japan, further validated the predictive power of Lunit SCOPE IO for ICI treatment response in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. In this multicenter prospective study, tumors classified as inflamed showed significantly better responses and longer survival with ICI therapy compared to non-inflamed tumors, a difference not observed among patients treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy. This result strengthens the evidence supporting Lunit SCOPE IO as a predictive biomarker for immunotherapy benefit in NSCLC.

“At ESMO 2025, we are demonstrating how AI can unlock predictive biomarkers directly from routine pathology slides,” said Brandon Suh, CEO of Lunit. “These findings show the potential of Lunit SCOPE IO to help identify patients who will truly benefit from immunotherapy—whether in colorectal or kidney cancer—and to guide treatment strategies that can make cancer care more precise and effective.”

Globally Pioneering POGMENT Triple-Helix Biomimetic Collagen Debuts at Chinese Biomaterials Congress 2025

LivingPhoenix Regenerative Technologies Development (Chengdu) Co., Ltd., recognized as the world’s first scientific innovation company exclusively dedicated to the research, development, and translation of triple-helix biomimetic collagen, was invited to the Congress. The company systematically presented its proprietary research achievements in triple-helix biomimetic collagen for the first time, garnering significant attention from attending scholars, experts, and industry representatives.

At the session on Biomimetic and Life-Like Materials, Mr. Qin Xingjiong, Founder of LivingPhoenix® and Committee Member of the Rehabilitation Biomaterials Branch of the Chinese Society for Biomaterials, delivered an academic report titled “Safety and Efficacy Evaluation of a Chemically Synthesized Triple-Helix Biomimetic Collagen and Latest Research Progress.” The report detailed research collaboratively completed by his team with Beijing Hospital, Peking University Third Hospital, the Ninth People’s Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and The University of Tokyo, among other institutions. The study, with Professor Zhao Hongyi of Beijing Hospital and Professor Dong Jiying of Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital serving as corresponding authors, featured Dr. Zhang Xinling of Beijing Hospital as the first author and Dr. Li Kexin of The University of Tokyo as a co-first author. Contributors included Lu Nan, Dr. Takafumi Takebayashi, Dr. Zhou Boyu, and Xie Hongbin. The related peer-reviewed paper was published in the SCI Q1 journal Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology in April 2025. The paper concluded that the biomimetic collagen component is safe, structurally stable, thermally stable, and demonstrates good biocompatibility and functionality in both in vitro and in vivo experiments, with significant potential for promotion and application in regenerative biomedicine.

This achievement originates from fundamental research initiated in 2001 by Professor Masao Tanihara, Doctor of Engineering from Kyoto University, Japan. Developed in collaboration with the Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Kyoto University Faculty of Medicine, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, and Nagoya University Graduate School, among others, the initial technological system was formed over a decade, receiving national-level support from Japanese programs including the “Knowledge Cluster Initiative” and “University Venture Creation Project.” In 2023, Dr. Takafumi Takebayashi, holder of the first-generation technology, joined LivingPhoenix® with the relevant intellectual property. The company concurrently established a core R&D team led by Dr. Zhou Boyu of The University of Tokyo, fostering continuous iteration and innovation through collaboration with Peking University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Naval Medical University, the University of Science and Technology of China, and the Tianfu Jincheng Laboratory (Frontier Medical Center). This effort achieved technological upgrades from version 1.0 to 2.0, resulting in the grant of several invention patents and the filing of multiple PCT international patent applications.

According to an assessment by Dr. Zheng Yongli, a Patent Attorney at Chengdu Gaoyuan Intellectual Property Agency, a search and analysis of 240 global peer patents and their technical solutions confirmed that the Biomimetic Collagen Technology version 1.0 is globally pioneering and internationally leading. Its version 2.0 further enhances stability and self-assembly characteristics through the “Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly (PISA) in water” process. Notably, it represents the world’s first visualization of collagen fibrils using 300 kV Cryo-Transmission Electron Microscopy to capture the ultrastructure of “collagen fibrils,” verifying the repeatability and consistency of self-assembled morphological features across multiple production batches, thus also possessing a “globally pioneering and internationally leading” attribute.

The product currently boasts a stable triple-helix structure and collagen fibrils, effectively addressing issues common in commercially available collagen products, such as short duration of effect and suboptimal biological functionality. It also demonstrates a cost-leading advantage in its synthesis process. Amid national policies encouraging the development of domestically pioneered, internationally leading high-end medical devices, related achievements have successfully completed registration with the NMPA’s Medical Device Master File and filing as a cosmetic ingredient. Among these, the injectable biomimetic collagen lyophilized fiber has passed the classification review as a Class III medical device. Subsequent product lines suitable for functional cosmetics, medical dressings, fillers/implants, tissue engineering, and other application scenarios are slated for gradual release.
