Biological Dynamics Study Demonstrates Detection of Early-Stage Cancers
In a Nature Communications Medicine publication, the Verita™ proprietary platform detected 96 percent of stage 1 pancreatic cancers and three-quarters of stage 1 ovarian cancers using isolated exosomes and AI-enabled protein marker analysis
Excerpt from the Press Release:
SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Biological Dynamics, Inc. announces the publication of its study, Early-Stage Multi-Cancer Detection Using an Extracellular Vesicle Protein-Based Blood Test, published in Nature Communications Medicine. The test correctly identified 71 percent of stage 1 cancers in a combined cohort of pancreatic, ovarian, and bladder cancers with pancreatic stage 1 cancer detection at 96%.
“The results are remarkable and highlight exosomal protein markers as a viable candidate for early-stage cancer detection,” said Scott Lippman, M.D., co-senior author of this report and Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. “Specifically, pancreatic cancer is notoriously difficult to detect at an early stage, when surgery, the only curative therapy, is possible. Biological Dynamics’ assay is demonstrating the potential for early-stage cancer detection to be included in the standard of care.”
The case-controlled pilot study explored a cohort of 139 pathologically staged patients with stage 1 and stage 2 pancreatic, ovarian, and bladder cancers. While other liquid biopsy approaches have shown high sensitivity in the later stages of cancer progression, they have been relatively unsuccessful in detecting cancers in earlier stages. Results from the study demonstrate that the company’s unique proprietary Verita™ platform can rapidly isolate extracellular vesicles (EVs) from 250 microliters of plasma and provide a multi-marker, protein-based analysis that clearly discriminates early-stage cancer cases from healthy controls. The method enables a unique, rapid, multiomic assessment from a single small blood draw.
