All pipelines are trained on a large panel of cancer cell lines and tested in clinical cohorts. DNN outperforms other machine learning algorithms by capturing pathways that link gene expression with drug response. © 2019 The Author(s) A major challenge in cancer treatment is predicting clinical response to anti-cancer drugs on a personalized basis. Using a pharmacogenomics database of 1,001 cancer cell lines, we trained deep neural networks for prediction of drug response and assessed their performance on multiple clinical cohorts. We demonstrate that deep neural networks outperform the current state in machine learning frameworks. We provide a proof of concept for the use of deep neural network-based frameworks to aid precision oncology strategies. © 2019 The Author(s) ER -
