Castle Biosciences Stock Price, News & Analysis

Castle Biosciences (NASDAQ: CSTL) has presented new data at the 19th European Association of Dermato-Oncology Congress in Rome, highlighting the effectiveness of its DecisionDx®-Melanoma test for patients with stage I cutaneous melanoma (CM). This innovative test enhances risk stratification compared to the traditional AJCC staging, which relies solely on clinical and pathologic factors. Specifically, DecisionDx-Melanoma shows improved recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates of 97.3% for low-risk Class 1A compared to 77.3% for high-risk Class 2B. Additionally, it demonstrates better melanoma-specific survival (MSS) with rates of 98.0% for Class 1A versus 92.3% for Class 2B. Notably, high-risk patients identified by the test were 5.4 times more likely to die from melanoma compared to AJCC-staged patients, indicating the potential of DecisionDx-Melanoma in guiding enhanced clinical care.

Castle Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSTL) announced new findings from a patient simulation study to be presented at ESGE Days 2023. The study indicated that the TissueCypher® Barrett’s Esophagus test significantly enhances management decisions for patients with low-grade dysplasia (LGD) in Barrett’s esophagus (BE). Results showed that the likelihood of appropriate treatment increased from 9% with pathology alone to 77.3% when using TissueCypher results. This test may help reduce both unnecessary endoscopies for low-risk patients and improve outcomes for high-risk patients. The presentation will occur on April 22 in Dublin, Ireland, highlighting the potential of TissueCypher to standardize treatment and reduce the risk of advancing to esophageal cancer.

Castle Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSTL) has released new data on its DecisionDx-SCC test, demonstrating significant improvements in predicting metastatic risk for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) patients with risk factors. Conducted on a cohort of 534 patients from 45 centers, the study showed that the DecisionDx-SCC test enhances the predictive accuracy of existing staging systems (AJCC8 and BWH). Notably, the incorporation of the DecisionDx-SCC results improved the likelihood ratios for metastatic risk predictions (p<0.0003). This reflects a critical advancement in guiding risk-aligned patient care for high-risk cSCC patients.
