- StemPrintER outperformed the current market leader, OncotypeDX test, in stratifying patients according to their risk of breast cancer recurrence
With the extension of the StemPrintER licensing agreement, originally transferred with all rights and obligations from Tiziana Life Sciences, AccuStem and the IEO have established and refined goals on the timing of commercialization and have broadened the number of regulatory pathways to bring the test to market in the US and abroad. Beyond this agreement, AccuStem intends to work closely with the IEO on additional proprietary cancer assays leveraging StemPrintER technology.
Investigators from the IEO in
- Results confirmed that StemPrintER is highly prognostic, with high risk patients up to 4 times as likely to experience a distant recurrence as low risk patients
- StemPrintER outperformed the OncotypeDX test, developed by Exact Sciences, in stratifying patients according to their risk of breast cancer recurrence1
“Showing this prognostic performance compared to the market leader in a prospective, randomized trial is a critical milestone for StemPrintER,” said
Breast cancer remains a significant health challenge worldwide, and despite advancements in research and treatment options, there are still unanswered questions regarding the identification, prognosis, and management of early stage breast cancer.
AccuStem plans to launch clinical studies to evaluate StemPrintER’s ability to determine the most effective surgical approach for women with early stage invasive breast cancer. This could have significant treatment implications because, beyond clinical factors and patient preference, clinicians do not currently possess tools to determine the most appropriate surgical interventions. To demonstrate StemPrintER’s disruptive predictive capabilities in a global market that sees more than two million new diagnoses each year, AccuStem will partner with leading US and European institutions to obtain these clinical data for presentation and publication.
