Immunovia Announces Positive Results from the IMMraytm PanCan-d Verification Study
LUND, Sweden, Sept. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Immunovia, a diagnostic company that develops highly accurate blood tests for the early detection of cancer and autoimmune diseases, today announced positive results from the verification study and will now commence the validation study, the last step towards the launch of IMMraytm PanCan-d. The verification study analysis shows results in line with the previous commercial test model study (CTMS), which paves the way for the final blinded validation study.
"We are very pleased with the results of the verification study and are now commencing the preparation for the validation process, while finishing up some bioinformatics for all subgroups of samples," said Mats Grahn, CEO. "These results will be made public as soon as the study is completed in all its details. We remain fully committed to the launch of IMMraytm PanCan-d and are now only one step away from the Q4 start sales of IMMraytm PanCan-d."
About the Verification Study
The study was performed in order to verify the IMMraytm PanCan-d commercial biomarker signature using known samples and to further validate its accuracy in differentiating PDAC (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma) stages I through IV vs. controls that best mirror the clinical, commercial setting situation (i.e. patients with non-specific but concerning symptoms). All the samples were freshly collected through our Key Opinion Leaders (KOL) at pancreatic diseases reference sites in USA and Europe. The verification study precedes the final blinded validation study required for sales start.
