Oncology intelligence, from open data
What moved in a tumour type this month, who is running it, and which targets have the genetics behind them.
OncoSignal watches ClinicalTrials.gov for phase advances and readouts, PubMed for new trial papers, Open Targets for target–disease genetic evidence, and the 2026 SITC, ESMO, ASCO, AACR and ASH abstracts, and puts them on one page per indication. Every row is live or verified and links to its source.

IGF-1R antibodies in Ewing sarcoma
Ewing sarcoma (paediatric) · IGF1R · ganitumab. The randomised trial was sized to detect a hazard ratio of 0.67, about 33% fewer relapses, new cancers or deaths. It found 1.00 (95% CI 0.76 to 1.33): no difference. Built from 79 checked sources, with charts.

Five views per indication
Phase advances (an asset's first Ph2 or Ph3), new pivotal trials, results posted, readouts coming due and stopped trials, derived from registry changes.
Every asset's trials on one timeline, sized by phase, so you see who moved from Ph1 to Ph3 and when.
PIs and study chairs ranked by late-phase trials in the indication, with their trials and PubMed output.
Open Targets Platform associations with the genetic-association and somatic-mutation evidence split out, plus tractability and clinical candidates.
SITC, ESMO, ASCO, AACR and ASH 2026 abstracts by indication: late-breakers first, each with trial, NCT ID and source link.
Indications
Paediatric cancers
High-risk and relapsed disease: MYCN amplification, ALK mutations and anti-GD2 therapy.
WNT, SHH, Group 3 and Group 4 disease, and relapse after craniospinal radiotherapy.
H3 K27-altered tumours of the brainstem and midline, with no curative treatment: ONC201 and cell therapy trials.
Posterior fossa group A and ZFTA-fusion tumours, where surgery and radiotherapy remain the only standard.
A SMARCB1-deficient brain tumour of infants and young children: EZH2 inhibition and intensive chemotherapy.
Relapsed and refractory disease after frontline cure rates: blinatumomab, inotuzumab and CD19 CAR-T cells.
An EWSR1 fusion-driven sarcoma of children and young adults; relapsed disease has few options.
The commonest bone cancer in teenagers; relapsed and metastatic disease remain hard to treat.
The commonest soft-tissue sarcoma of childhood; PAX3::FOXO1 fusion-positive and metastatic disease do worst.
Brain tumours
Solid tumours
EGFR, ALK, KRAS G12C and the ADC wave in first and later lines.
HR+/HER2-, HER2-low and TNBC: CDK4/6, oral SERDs, PI3K pathway and TROP2 ADCs.
RAS(ON) inhibitors, pan-KRAS and the long wait for a second-line standard.
MSI-H immunotherapy, BRAF V600E, HER2 and KRAS G12C combinations.
Blood cancers
Menin inhibitors, FLT3 and IDH combinations, venetoclax backbones and what comes after.
Asciminib and the STAMP inhibitors, treatment-free remission and resistance after ponatinib.
BCMA and GPRC5D CAR-T cells and bispecifics, and what is left after triple-class exposure.
Paediatric abstracts across the 2026 meetings and the FDA Pediatric Relevant Molecular Target List.
The essay argues that drug development is held back less by discovery than by herding: companies crowd onto the same validated targets while coordination and institutional waiting slow everything else. AI should be aimed at genuinely new bets, with people keeping the scientific judgment.
OncoSignal is the instrument for that argument in oncology. Put the herd on one screen (who is in Ph3 on which target, and who just got there), then ask where the human genetic evidence points that the pipeline does not.
