Tempus AI’s IPS Test Outperforms Conventional Biomarkers in Predicting Immunotherapy Outcomes
Tempus AI announced on January 27, 2026, that its AI-driven Immune Profile Score (IPS) test more accurately predicts outcomes for patients on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) than conventional biomarkers like TMB, MSI, and PD-L1123
IPS, a multimodal biomarker using DNA and RNA data, showed HR=0.45 in four pan-cancer cohorts, independent of traditional markers1
IPS identified 13% of microsatellite stable colorectal cancer patients with strong ICI survival (HR=0.2), expanding options for overlooked groups12
For rare metastatic solid tumors, 17% classified as IPS-High showed better survival (HR=0.26), despite not fitting FDA labels12
IPS is available as an add-on to Tempus' xT (DNA) and xR (RNA) assays1
Halla Nimeiri, Tempus Chief Development Officer, stated IPS advances personalized cancer care12
