Ibex’s AI Algorithm to Aid Pathologists with Accurate and Reproducible HER2 and HER2-low Assessment in Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Tel Aviv, Israel – January 24, 2023 –
Ibex Medical Analytics (Ibex), the leader in AI-powered cancer diagnostics, today announced an agreement with
AstraZeneca and
Daiichi Sankyo, for the development, clinical validation and early adoption of an AI-powered product to aid pathologists with an accurate and reproducible assessment of HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) scoring in breast cancer patients.
Scoring of HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) protein expression in breast cancer is used to identify patients who are likely to benefit from HER2-directed therapies. Currently, pathologists routinely score HER2 in tumor samples visually using a microscope, which can be challenging in cases of low HER2 expression as scoring is subjective and may lead to varied interpretations. Computational tools developed using Artificial Intelligence have the potential to support pathologists in accurate and objective scoring of HER2, which can help oncologists in selecting therapies that are approved for treating patients with HER2-positive or HER2-low breast cancer.
“Recognizing the vital role pathologists play in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients, we are thrilled to partner with AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo to clinically validate our automated HER2 scoring product and offer it to laboratories around the world,” said Joseph Mossel, Co-founder and CEO of Ibex Medical Analytics. “As the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women, this collaboration will allow pathologists to utilize our technology to optimize breast cancer diagnosis and ultimately improve the identification of patients eligible for HER2-directed therapy.”
Ibex’s Galen™ Breast HER2 is an IHC scoring product that detects tumor areas and quantifies HER2 expression into four standard categories, 0, 1+, 2+ and 3+, based on the 2018 ASCO/CAP scoring guidelines1. As part of this collaboration, Ibex will work with AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo to develop and clinically validate its HER2 IHC scoring product and generate evidence that further supports adoption of the technology.
A multi-site validation study on Galen Breast HER2 involved a cohort of 453 breast tumors of diverse subtypes. The study demonstrated that Galen’s AI algorithm provides an accurate and automated HER2 score for pathologists and was recently presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium2.
Beyond this collaboration, Ibex supports pathologists with AI-based diagnostic solutions that help detect and grade different types of invasive and non-invasive breast cancer and other tumor types, and are used in everyday practice in laboratories, hospitals and health systems worldwide. Ibex’s Galen Breast solution demonstrated robust outcomes in detecting and grading multiple types of breast cancer and other clinically relevant features across clinical studies performed on numerous diagnostic workflows, one of which was recently published in
Nature’s peer-reviewed npj Breast Cancer journal3,4.
In addition to HER2, Ibex is further expanding Galen Breast to include automated quantification of additional IHC-stained slides, such as ER, PR and Ki-67, intended to provide pathologists with a comprehensive set of tools for breast cancer diagnosis. With these expanded capabilities, Galen Breast may further enhance diagnostic efficiency and enable more accurate and objective scoring of breast biomarkers, improving treatment decisions and patient care.
Ibex's Galen™ Prostate Becomes First Standalone AI-Powered Cancer Diagnostics Solution to Obtain CE Mark Under the IVDR

Pathology Diagnostics Platform Meets Safety, Quality and Performance Criteria Under EU's New In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation.
TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
Ibex Medical Analytics (Ibex), the leader in AI-powered cancer diagnostics, today announced that Galen™ Prostate is now CE marked under the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR) for supporting pathologists in primary diagnosis of prostate biopsies. Galen Prostate is the first standalone AI-based cancer diagnostics product of its kind certified under the IVDR.
IVDR is the new regulatory standard set by the European Union, replacing the previous In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Directive (IVDD). The new regulation sets a new bar for product performance and clinical validation, as well as post marketing surveillance. Galen Prostate received its IVDR CE certificate following a rigorous review demonstrating the quality of the product and its meticulous development process, safety, and performance. During 2023, Ibex plans to migrate additional products, including its Galen Breast and Galen Gastric solutions, under the IVDR certificate.
"Ibex continues to maintain the highest possible standards for its products, bringing cutting-edge computational solutions to improve outcomes of cancer care," said Dr. Yael Liebes-Peer, Head of Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance at Ibex Medical Analytics. "Dedicated to our mission of providing every patient with an accurate, timely and personalized cancer diagnosis, we are proud to provide the market's first IVDR-certified product, elevating the quality of diagnosis for patients, pathologists and laboratories."
To help improve the quality of cancer diagnosis, increase productivity and optimize pathology workflows, Galen Prostate uses AI to analyze biopsies ahead of pathologists' review, providing them with diagnostic insights to guide their diagnosis. Galen Prostate's algorithms were trained on large datasets from multiple pathology institutes around the world, enriched with rare prostatic malignancies. Galen helps pathologists diagnose cancer, provides additional insights, including a Gleason score, tumor size and associated morphologies for each cancer slide, and offers decision support tools to help accelerate diagnostic turnaround and reduce subjectivity.
Ibex offers the most widely deployed AI technology in pathology, supporting pathologists worldwide with augmented diagnostic capabilities during diagnosis of
breast,
prostate, and
gastric biopsies. Improving dignostic accuracy, reducing turnaround time, boosting productivity and improving user experience for pathologists, Galen has demonstrated excellent outcomes across multiple clinical studies performed in different pathology labs and diagnostic workflows1,2,3,4,5.
