IQVIA Holdings Inc. (IQV - Free Report) and Genomics England recently announced that they have partnered to build a real-world research platform, which integrates clinical and de-identified genomics data.

Genomics England is a company under the U.K. government’s Department of Health and Social Care. It was formed with the goal of sequencing 100,000 whole genomes from NHS patients and their families.

IQVIA Offering Healthcare Analytics Solution

Under the partnership, IQVIA will offer its E360 analytics technology to authorized users of Genomics England's database of de-identified genomic and phenotypic records. As a result, users will be able to develop custom clinical-genomic datasets and run analytics on genomics and observable traits.

The initiative focuses on patients with rare diseases as well as common cancer, and is expected to facilitate faster and more efficient drug research, stronger evidence to support treatment value, and greater access to personalized medicines.

The integrated genomic-clinical build of E360 will go online in 2019, after which the duo plans to serve academic and commercial researchers in genotype-phenotype association studies, comparative efficacy and safety trials, and burden-of-illness analytics. E360 is IQVIA’s extensible platform for delivering real-world Insights.

IQVIA’s Technology & Analytics Solutions Segment to Benefit

We believe that the recent collaboration will help boost IQVIA’s Technology & Analytics Solutions segment that delivers critical information, technology solutions and real-world insights and services to life science customers.

In the last reported quarter, the segment performed well with revenues totaling $1.01 billion, up 14.2% on a reported basis and 13.1% on a constant-currency basis.

With partnerships like this latest one, IQVIA is trying to keep itself ahead of its competitors like Verisk (VRSK - Free Report) , Accenture (ACN - Free Report) and International Business Machines Corporation (IBM - Free Report) .
