Long-term agreement to focus on generation of regulatory grade real-world datasets to advance development and adoption of new medicines

Oxford, UK, 12 June 2025 – Arcturis, the UK leader in the curation of deep, multi-modal data to support the development of precision medicines, announces the signing of a multi-year strategic partnership with Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (“Leeds Teaching Hospitals”). This agreement sees Leeds Teaching Hospitals becoming part of Arcturis’ Real-World Data Network (“RWD Network”) that provides comprehensive, real-time access to diverse and enriched health data that is geographically representative of the UK population.

Leeds Teaching Hospitals is one of the largest acute hospitals trusts in Europe and is an established centre of excellence for research and innovation providing treatment to around 1.6 million patients every year through its network of seven regional hospitals. This partnership will bring Leeds Teaching Hospitals clinical expertise and specialism across a range of therapeutic areas including cardiology, neurology and oncology into the Arcturis RWD Network.

Alex Snow, Chief Executive Officer of Arcturis commented, “We are delighted to have partnered with Leeds Teaching Hospitals, a leading acute hospital trust with an outstanding reputation for clinical care, research and innovation across a range of therapeutic areas including oncology. We look forward to working with the team at Leeds to generate precision, regulatory-grade data insights that can be used to enhance the adoption of innovative new therapies and provide better outcomes for patients.”

Paul Jones, Chief Digital Information Officer at Leeds Teaching Hospitals added, “We are excited to partner with Arcturis in this innovative endeavour. By combining our clinical expertise with Arcturis’ data science and analytic capabilities, this partnership has the opportunity to accelerate the development of new therapies and improve patient outcomes.”

The Arcturis RWD Network has been approved by the NHS ethics body, the Health Research Authority, and is designed to curate diverse types of real-world data including medications, laboratory tests, pathology reports, clinical notes and unstructured data into standardised, disease-specific datasets. These highly enriched datasets are then used to generate precision data insights that support activities across the drug development pathway including clinical trials, regulatory submissions and post authorisation safety studies.

All insights generated use anonymised patient data and are done to the highest ethical and governance standards to facilitate valuable research and innovation whilst safeguarding the confidentiality and privacy of patients.

Alex Snow added, “Entering this strategic agreement represents a major milestone in the growth and development of our RWD Network. The catchment size and geographical location of Leeds Teaching Hospitals reinforces Arcturis’ position as the leading curator of precision health data representative of the UK population which through our ethically approved research database can be deployed across the drug development pathway.”
