Castle Biosciences, a skin cancer diagnostics company, will present two significant studies at the American Academy of Dermatology’s Virtual Meeting from April 23-25, 2021. These studies focus on their genomic tests: DecisionDx-Melanoma and DecisionDx-SCC. The DecisionDx-Melanoma study highlights a Class 2B result as a critical predictor of recurrence in stage I melanoma patients, with a recurrence rate of 20.4%. The DecisionDx-SCC study indicates that incorporating this genomic risk profiling can significantly reduce patient sample sizes needed for clinical trials, optimizing healthcare costs and patient management.
Castle Biosciences (Nasdaq: CSTL) showcased its gene expression profile tests at the Dermatology Nurses' Association 2021 Annual Convention. The presentations included the DecisionDx®-Melanoma, which predicts cutaneous melanoma risk, and DecisionDx®-SCC for high-risk squamous cell carcinoma. Data showed DecisionDx-Melanoma's robust predictive ability for recurrence-free survival, outperforming traditional metrics. The DecisionDx DiffDx®-Melanoma enhances diagnostic precision for challenging lesions. The tests aim to improve treatment decisions and patient outcomes by using tumor biology insights.
Castle Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSTL) presented data on its skin cancer gene expression tests at the 10th World Congress of Melanoma and 17th EADO Congress. The company showcased its DecisionDx-Melanoma, DecisionDx-SCC, and DecisionDx DiffDx-Melanoma tests, highlighting their effectiveness in predicting melanoma metastasis and improving risk assessment in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Key findings included significant disease-free survival rates among different risk classes and validation of the tests' prognostic values, which may enhance patient management strategies.
Castle Biosciences (Nasdaq: CSTL) presented data on the integration of its DecisionDx-Melanoma test with clinicopathologic features at the 10th World Congress of Melanoma. The test, which predicts sentinel lymph node (SLN) positivity, utilizes an artificial intelligence-based algorithm called i31-GEP, validated in a cohort of 1,674 patients. Key findings include a high negative predictive value of 98% and reclassification of 63% of patients originally at 5-10% SLN positivity risk. These results aim to refine risk assessment and potential pre-surgical decision-making for melanoma patients.
Castle Biosciences (Nasdaq: CSTL) has announced positive results from an independent study published in the American Journal of Surgery, demonstrating the effectiveness of its DecisionDx®-Melanoma test in predicting patient outcomes for cutaneous melanoma. The study, involving 383 patients, showed that high-risk results correlated with increased rates of sentinel lymph node positivity and higher recurrence rates. The findings emphasize the test's ability to provide significant prognostic information beyond traditional staging methods, thereby aiding treatment decisions.
Castle Biosciences (Nasdaq: CSTL) announced the publication of long-term outcomes data for its DecisionDx-Melanoma test, aimed at predicting risks associated with cutaneous melanoma. Published in JCO® Precision Oncology, the study verifies the test's effectiveness in identifying recurrence risk in early-stage melanoma patients, thus extending previous findings. Notably, the test serves as a significant predictor of recurrence-free, distant metastasis-free, and overall survival, enhancing the predictive power when combined with AJCC staging.
Castle Biosciences (Nasdaq: CSTL) announced a partnership with the Melanoma Research Foundation to present the 'Ask the Expert' Managing Melanoma webinar series during April 2021. This initiative aims to enhance awareness and education regarding melanoma, featuring expert discussions on topics such as tumor genetics and gene expression profiling. The webinars will be broadcast live on the MRF Facebook page, providing vital resources for patients and promoting early detection and prevention of melanoma.
