Founded in 2012 and acquired by Roche in 2018, Flatiron Health has become the leading oncology-specific technology and real-world evidence company in the United States, connecting cancer care and research through a purpose-built data infrastructure. Its work centres on the premise that the information generated during routine cancer treatment holds untapped research value when structured and analysed correctly.
The company operates the OncoEMR electronic health record platform, used by community oncology practices across the country, alongside the broader oncology network that aggregates de-identified real-world data from millions of cancer patients. This dataset supports regulatory submissions, label expansions, health technology assessments, and clinical trial optimisation for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies worldwide.
Flatiron's research services division works directly with life sciences sponsors and regulators, including the US Food and Drug Administration, to explore how real-world evidence can supplement or accelerate traditional clinical development pathways. The company is headquartered in New York City and operates as a subsidiary of the Roche Group, giving it access to global oncology expertise while maintaining a focused mandate on cancer data science.
Its therapy coverage spans solid tumours and haematological malignancies, with data assets covering breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, leukaemia, lymphoma, and many additional indications. Researchers and commercial teams use Flatiron's curated datasets to understand treatment patterns, patient outcomes, and population-level trends in ways that prospective trials alone cannot capture.
