HAYWARD, Calif., Nov. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Predicine, Inc., a pioneer in the field of liquid biopsy, is pleased to announce the publication of a landmark study in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), demonstrating the clinical utility of the PredicineCARE™ liquid biopsy assay, which enabled identification and enrollment of PIK3CA-positive patients in China. The trial targets patients with PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
“The PI3Kα inhibitor-based regimen demonstrated a doubling of the progression-free survival with consistent benefit across all pre-specified patient subgroups,” said Dr Huiping Li, Chair of Department of Breast Oncology at Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute, and one of the principal investigators of the study. “With the essential support of biomarker testing, this new first-line standard of care brings significant hope to breast cancer patients with PIK3CA mutations.”
PredicineCARE™, a next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay, facilitated blood-based testing to detect genomic alterations among trial participants. PredicineCARE™ has received both FDA breakthrough device designation and New York State approval.
“The publication of the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrates the clinical utility of PredicineCARE™ liquid biopsy assay in global clinical trials and personalized cancer care, exemplifying our commitment to robust, efficient and cost-effective early biomarker testing, helping identify patients who may benefit from targeted therapy” said Dr. Shidong Jia, Founder & CEO of Predicine.
