The ISPOR 2025 research presentations demonstrate the value of Komodo's real-world evidence across a wide range of therapeutic areas, including:
Article content
Oncology: Salix Pharmaceuticals, Analysis Group, and Bausch Health studied the economic burden of opioid-induced constipation among patients with or without cancer;
Cardiovascular disease: Veradigm examined the discordance between apolipoprotein B and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in predicting incident hypertension risk and how it correlates to differential hypertension development patterns between diabetic and non-diabetic populations;
Metabolic disorders: Novo Nordisk studied non-invasive diagnostic approaches and earlier interventions for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH);
Neurology: Jazz Pharmaceuticals analyzed healthcare resource utilization and costs among individuals with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) who are considered at higher risk for negative clinical outcomes associated with sodium (due to underlying cardiovascular, cardiometabolic, or renal conditions); and
Rare disease: Chiesi analyzed medical claims data to better understand healthcare resource utilization patterns among Fabry disease patients

Three poster presentations by Komodo researchers also showcase methodological advances:

Komodo provides a multidimensional view of 330+ million patient journeys by linking de-identified claims data with specialty datasets, including lab results, genomics, and demographic information — through its platform to address fundamental challenges in health economics and outcomes research (HEOR). Whereas HEOR teams have traditionally relied on fragmented, incomplete datasets that provide only narrow snapshots of patients' in-network healthcare experiences, Komodo's platform enables researchers to link disparate datasets without the months typically spent on data cleaning and integration. The option to enhance disease understanding at the patient level with lab, EHR, patient insurance, race and ethnicity, and mortality data enables teams to self-serve cohort feasibility and insights. This ability accelerates study planning timelines by weeks and generates more accurate estimates of treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization, and costs.

'By closing critical data gaps and providing a patient-centric approach to HEOR, our powerful, all-in-one platform brings clean, connected, and compliant real-world data together,' Nathoo added. 'We eliminate the need for messy integrations, manual data wrangling, and coding cohorts from scratch, which enables HEOR teams to generate evidence faster. The inclusion of race, ethnicity, mortality, and other demographic insights at a near-census level also allows researchers to better model the clinical and financial impacts of new therapies across diverse populations, addressing the reality that disease burden is not borne equally across demographic groups.'

That substance in the water of Great Slave Lake is likely just ash, says DFO
A substance spotted in the water of Great Slave Lake on Thursday is likely "a collection of ash," said Fisheries and Oceans Canada. An "unknown, black substance" near Mosher Island was reported to the Canadian Coast Guard's Arctic Region Marine Environmental and Hazards Response (MEHR) team Thursday morning. MEHR collected samples and submitted them for testing. Based on the evidence, they've confirmed that the curvy black line in the water is ash, likely from a burn barrel "or something of that nature," wrote Jeremy Hennessy, a public affairs officer for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, in an email. Brian Fidler lives next to Yellowknife Bay and noticed the streak in the water when he was looking out his window. Fidler has lived in Yellowknife for almost five years and said he's never seen anything like it before. "It was a beautiful morning. The water was flat, calm," he said. "I noticed the boats in the little bay there and this weird line that came out seemed to trail from the Yellowknife River direction and kind of curl around." Fidler said it looked like the substance was floating towards Jolliffe Island. While the substance didn't give off the "rainbow kind of fuel" that oil spills are typically characterized with, Fidler said he was still concerned because he didn't know what the slick was. "If more is gonna be coming out into the lake, I don't want to see that. I don't wanna put my boat through it," he said. "If it is chemical or petroleum based, it's not good for the environment. It's not good for our lake." An on-water assessment by MEHR indicated that the substance is not oil-based. There are no impacts to Yellowknife's drinking water and it "is not believed to pose any danger to the public or to wildlife in the area," Hennessy wrote.

Winnipeg couple leaves encampment for drug-free supportive housing
Social Sharing A homeless Winnipeg couple began a new chapter on Friday, moving into transitional housing with hopes of turning a page toward long-term addictions recovery. Anna Moar and Kadin McCron lost their apartment a couple of months ago due to a relapse following more than four years of sobriety, they said. Since then, they have been bouncing around from encampment to encampment, eventually settling on a relatively private riverbank in Winnipeg's Wolseley neighbourhood. "Our goal is to try to get as far away from the drugs and the drug users as possible, so that way we can battle ourselves through the addiction and battle ourselves through our problems and try and make a change," said McCron. He said it was at the riverbank where they connected with someone on July 25 who contacted St. Boniface Street Links, an outreach organization that helps homeless people and people with addictions. By the end of that day, the organization had come to meet them and helped them move to its 24/7 safe space on St. Mary's Road. "I'm still actually bamboozled about it," said McCron, 30. On Friday, the pair moved into the organization's building on Fountain Street, a drug-free transitional housing complex in the Centennial neighbourhood that provides residents around-the-clock support and includes 24/7 security. "I'm surprised it happened so fast. I wasn't expecting it," said Moar, 33. The couple's move comes at a time when they're both eager to leave a chaotic life behind and stay sober, with Moar also needing additional medical care. She's awaiting surgery for a broken hip and gets around with a walker and wheelchair. Speaking hand in hand, the couple of a year and a half said they've been leaning on each other through the challenges of addictions and pain. "I need him," Moar said. "I'm happy we get to start a new life." Life at an encampment The pair say their two-month period of homelessness was marked by attacks from people trying to steal their things or take over their camp and by frequent hours-long searches for food, water and supplies. "You're stuck in that survival mode," McCron said. Because of Moar's condition and limited mobility, McCron said those responsibilities often rested with him. "He would pretty much put all the blankets and stuff underneath me, so that way it would be comfortable for my hip," Moar said. "It was pretty hard. It hurt." They also attempted to distance themselves from "hardcore drug addicts," encounters McCron said sometimes led to fights. McCron, though, would have to keep watch throughout the night, saying he sometimes used small amounts of drugs to stay alert and awake. "I didn't really want to use it, but sometimes I had no choice," he said. Winnipeg outreach organization opens new downtown building 8 months ago Before the couple connected with St. Boniface Street Links, they said they had been visited by another organization's outreach team, which dropped off food and supplies and helped them apply for emergency housing. McCron said he and Moar declined to overnight at their shelter due to concerns over drug use there. "What most people don't realize is getting sober is the easy part. Staying sober is the hard part," McCron said. "You're constantly battling cravings. You're constantly battling the thoughts." Counselling and education The pair say they hope their new building will help give them a meaningful opportunity to stave off drug use and provide stability throughout Moar's recovery from surgery. McCron described himself as growing up in a military household marked by alcoholism, and Moar said she was sex trafficked as a teen. They'll have access to counselling and programs, including for addictions and complex trauma, building manager Ainslee Trudeau said. "I'm happy to say that people come in, and we help slowly, baby steps, show them how to be independent, you know, whether that's cooking on a budget, shopping on a budget, whatever the case may be," Trudeau said. A second chance on Fountain Street Michelle Wesley with Street Links said she believes the community-style living is part of what makes the model successful. "It's about, 'How do I live without depending on a substance to help me move forward on a day-to-day basis?'" Wesley said. Moar lived in the building years before it was renovated and run by Street Links. Seeing how it has changed is giving them hope they can, too. "I'm happy we get to start a new life," she said.
