Oncocyte Corporation (Nasdaq: OCX) has partnered with Gruppo Oncologico del Nord-Ovest (GONO Foundation) to evaluate the DetermaIO test for predicting immunotherapy response in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). This marks the test's assessment in a fifth tumor type, following its previous successes in lung, breast, bladder, and renal cancers. The collaboration aims to identify mCRC patients who may benefit from immunotherapy despite lacking the microsatellite instability biomarker. The GONO Foundation conducts clinical trials in oncology, making it a suitable partner for this initiative.
Oncocyte Corporation (NASDAQ: OCX) has announced the addition of the Therascreen RGQ KRAS test in its Nashville CLIA lab, enhancing its diagnostic offerings for lung cancer. This follows a partnership with QIAGEN to support Amgen’s LUMAKRAS therapy for KRAS G12C-mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). As a result, Oncocyte aims to consolidate its position as a key player in cancer diagnostics, providing essential information for treatment decisions. The new test addresses an unmet clinical need, as KRAS G12C mutations represent 25% of all NSCLC cases.
Oncocyte Corporation (NASDAQ: OCX) reported Q1 2021 revenues of $1.12 million, exceeding analyst estimates, driven by growth in DetermaRx and Pharma Services. The company highlighted strong data supporting the pan-cancer utility of DetermaIO, with pilot projects secured from three biopharma partners. The acquisition of Chronix Biomedical opens opportunities in the blood-based therapy monitoring market. Operating losses increased to $11.4 million, while cash used in operations was approximately $9.8 million. The anticipated launch of DetermaIO and other products may drive significant revenue growth in the next 18-24 months.
