Immunovia has secured over 1,000 blood samples, including over 200 from patients with stage 1 and 2 pancreatic cancer and more than 800 blood samples from high-risk individuals without cancer. The study will be one of the largest clinical validation studies of a pancreatic cancer biomarker test conducted to date.
Immunovia leveraged long-standing relationships with researchers at pancreatic cancer centers in Europe and North America to acquire the blood samples. Key collaborators who contributed an especially large number of samples included Dr. Randall Brand, University of Pittsburgh Department of Medicine; Dr. Rosie Sears, Oregon Health and Science University; and Dr. Salvatore Paiella, University of Verona.
This study marks Immunovia's first research collaboration with the Pancreatic Cancer Early Detection (PRECEDE) Consortium. The PRECEDE Consortium, led by Dr. Diane Simeone, is an international, multi-institutional collaborative group of experts working to improve early detection of pancreatic cancer through a novel model of collaboration and data sharing. The PRECEDE Consortium provided nearly 500 samples from its ongoing study of people at high-risk for hereditary cancer.
"We are excited to announce that we have secured all samples required to clinically validate our next-generation test. This study represents a pivotal step in our mission to bring early detection of pancreatic cancer to high-risk individuals," says Jeff Borcherding, CEO and President of Immunovia.
As communicated previously, Immunovia expects to complete the clinical validation study in December 2024 in preparation for launching its next-generation test for early detection of pancreatic cancer later in 2025.
