Lunit's artificial intelligence (AI) software for tissue analysis is being used in various drug development research trials, with the company presenting three studies at the 2021 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) congress.
The company's Lunit Scope IO software has been used in a phase I clinical trial in a joint study with South Korea-based Y Biologics. The company highlighted the software as being accurate in predicting immunotherapy response for all study participants.
Lunit also presented another study using Lunit Scope IO, stating the software validated the correlation between spatial information of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and prognosis of colorectal cancer. The researchers found that high lymphocyte density in relation to tumor cells may improve prognostic power.
The company's other major study involved Lunit Scope PD-L1, an AI-powered programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) tumor proportion score analyzer. The company said the software "substantially improved" consensus among pathologists and found more patients who were eligible for immunotherapy.
![A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
