The GOZILA study, published in Nature Medicine, demonstrates that using Guardant360 CDx liquid biopsy for targeted cancer treatment can significantly extend patient survival. The study, involving 4,037 patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumors, found that 24% of participants received targeted treatment based on the test results. Patients who received personalized treatment guided by liquid biopsy results lived approximately twice as long as those who did not, with a median survival of 18.6 months compared to 9.9 months. This research, led by the National Cancer Center Hospital East in Japan, suggests a potential paradigm shift in cancer treatment by demonstrating the survival-extending effect of liquid biopsy-based personalized cancer treatment across various cancer types.

Guardant Health (Nasdaq: GH) announced the acceptance of its CAN-SCREEN model for publication in the Journal of Medical Economics. This health outcomes study emphasizes the importance of combining effective screening performance with high patient adherence in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening to optimize health outcomes. Unlike existing models, CAN-SCREEN accounts for both clinical efficacy and real-world adherence in predicting CRC incidence and mortality rates.
The study highlights the potential of Guardant Health's blood-based screening test, Shield™, to reduce CRC-related mortality due to its high adherence rates. The model predicts that integrating this non-invasive test into existing screening programs could significantly reduce CRC-related deaths, especially among previously unscreened populations. Patients screened with blood-based testing are predicted to gain more life years compared to those screened with FIT or mtsDNA tests.
