Why this matters

Rare cancers account for 27% of all cancer diagnoses. Less than 5% of clinical trials target them.

Each rare cancer type has fewer than 200,000 patients, too small for traditional pharma ROI models. The research that does exist is scattered across incompatible databases, siloed registries, and paywalled journals.

What Zeta does

Connects fragmented knowledge

Rare cancer databases, clinical trial registries, PubMed literature, drug labels, and molecular data, queried together through a single research agent instead of 9 separate interfaces.

Reasons across sources

Zeta follows leads. A biomarker found in one database triggers drug lookups in another, cross-references active clinical trials, and surfaces related literature automatically.

Built on 12+ years of rare cancer drug development

The curated knowledge base behind Zeta comes from Lantern Pharma's work advancing therapies for cancers that traditional pharma economics overlook. Built for the edge cases.
