Advancing Prostate Cancer Outcomes Through Big Data
What was PIONEER?
Public-Private Partnership
A public-private partnership under the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) bringing together academia and industry.
Big Data Focus
Aimed to improve outcomes and care for prostate cancer patients through the use of big data and real-world evidence.
Comprehensive Platform
Developed a comprehensive data platform integrating clinical, genomic, and patient-reported data across Europe.
PIONEER+ Lasting Impact
Federated Data Infrastructure
Established a federated data infrastructure to securely analyse prostate cancer datasets across multiple institutions and countries.
Core Outcome Sets
Defined core outcome sets for prostate cancer, emphasizing outcomes that matter most to patients.
EAU Guidelines Integration
Developed tools and evidence that directly feed into EAU Guidelines and decision-making pathways.
Sustainability through the UroEvidenceHub
Following the end of the IMI funding period, PIONEER+ sustainability arm ensures the continued use and expansion of:
Data Models & Ontologies
Data models and ontologies for prostate cancer research and clinical practice.
Federated Analytics Tools
Federated analytics tools built for multi-institutional collaboration and secure data sharing.
Outcome Standardization
Outcome standardization frameworks, including PROMs for consistent measurement across studies.
Training & Governance
Training, governance, and open science initiatives to support the research community.
Why it Matters
Continued Access
