Absentia’s AI Predictive Drug-Induced Cardiotoxicity Module
Absentia combines patient outcome data with preclinical mechanistic readouts to surface cardiotoxicity risk earlier—giving scientists quantitative risk, mechanistic context, and weight-of-evidence support for IND and drug development decisions.
Module
Digital Cardiac Model
Status
Accepted into FDA’s ISTAND qualification pathway
Inputs
Patient outcome data, preclinical mechanistic readouts
Outputs
Quantitative risk, mechanistic context, weight-of-evidence support
See cardiac risk before it becomes a late-stage surprise.
Cardiotoxicity can become visible when the options for addressing it are already narrowing. Absentia is designed to surface potential risk earlier—while teams still have room to act.
~25%
of small molecules that fail in clinical development due to toxicity are attributed to cardiotoxicity.
Cardiac safety goes beyond a single endpoint.
hERG screening remains an important checkpoint for electrophysiological risk. But drug-induced cardiotoxicity can also emerge through structural and functional/hemodynamic failure modes. Absentia is designed to bring these signals together within one predictive framework.
FAILURE MODE
Electrophysiological
Evaluate signals related to cardiac electrophysiology.
Structural
Predict morphological cardiac liabilities.
Functional / Hemodynamic
Add context around functional and hemodynamic risk.
hERG remains a valuable checkpoint. The cardiac model is designed to evaluate the broader mechanistic picture alongside it.
Three organ-system milestones. One predictive safety platform.
Absentia’s Digital Cardiac Model follows its Digital Liver milestone in FDA’s ISTAND qualification pathway. The Digital Kidney (DIRI) Model now joins them, extending Absentia’s multi-organ approach to drug safety.
