Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA) announces a study published in Gynecologic Oncology, validating its molecular residual disease (MRD) test, Signatera, for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The multi-site study of 163 plasma samples from 69 patients demonstrates that Signatera outperforms CA-125 in predicting recurrence. With 100% sensitivity and specificity, it detects recurrences an average of 10 months earlier than imaging. This advancement is crucial for ovarian cancer management, which has a high recurrence rate and poor survival rates.

Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA) announced new findings from the Trifecta study, indicating that its Prospera Kidney test, which uses donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA), outperforms traditional donor-specific antibody (DSA) testing in predicting antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). The study assessed 280 samples, showing dd-cfDNA metrics had AUC values of 0.84 and 0.85, significantly higher than DSA's AUC of 0.66. The results advocate for broader dd-cfDNA use in kidney transplantation for more accurate graft status assessment.

Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA) presented new data on its Signatera™ molecular residual disease (MRD) test at the ESMO World Congress in Paris from September 9-13, 2022.

Signatera’s application in monitoring response to immunotherapy in early stage triple-negative breast cancer was also highlighted. The data reinforces the clinical utility of personalized MRD testing in cancer treatment decision-making.
