Conference Day Two: July 24, 2024

1:45 PM ONCOLOGY INDUSTRY INSIGHT SESSION HOSTED BY WREN LABORATORIES - A NOVEL PCR-BASED BLOOD ASSAY FOR THE DETECTION AND MONITORING OF PROSTATE CANCER

The PROSTest, a proprietary, patented liquid biopsy assay for the detection of prostate cancer (PCa), is one of a series of tests developed by Wren for precision oncology. It uses machine learning algorithms to convert cancer-related gene expression in blood into a single readout to differentiate patients with PCa from those with non-cancerous symptomatic patients. The algorithm output is a score ranging from 0-100, with a cut-off of 50, where patients with scores ≥50 were shown to have PCa. The assay was analytically validated under CLIA and clinically qualified in a multiple clinical studies.
