Veracyte (NASDAQ: VCYT) revealed new insights from the G-MINOR trial at the 2023 ASCO GU Symposium, highlighting the Decipher Prostate Genomic Classifier's clinical utility. The study analyzed data from 1,015 men with prostate cancer, determining that tumor classification by subtype can inform treatment responses. Findings indicated luminal differentiated tumors had the best prognosis post-surgery, while basal immune tumors benefitted most from radiotherapy. Additionally, patients who underwent Decipher testing did not experience significant quality-of-life changes despite increased adjuvant therapy. This reinforces Veracyte's commitment to precision medicine in prostate cancer treatment.
Veracyte (Nasdaq: VCYT) is set to announce its financial results for Q4 2022 and the full year after market close on February 22, 2023.

Veracyte (VCYT) announces findings published in Frontiers in Endocrinology, revealing insights into the frequency and risk of malignancy linked to thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) mutations in indeterminate thyroid nodules. Analysis of 8,881 nodules showed that only 5% were classified as suspicious for cancer. The risk of malignancy for benign nodules is ≤4%, while those identified as suspicious by the Afirma Genomic Sequencing Classifier (GSC) have a 15.3% risk. These results underscore the potential of Afirma testing for personalized care in thyroid nodule diagnosis and treatment.
Veracyte (Nasdaq: VCYT) announced a meta-analysis confirming the Afirma Genomic Sequencing Classifier (GSC) performs strongly in real-world settings. This analysis, involving 1,976 patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules (ITNs), shows the Afirma GSC's ability to rule out benign nodules with a sensitivity of 97% and a negative predictive value of 99%. The test's predictive ability for malignant nodules also improved, with a 65% positive predictive value. This supports the test's role in reducing unnecessary surgeries and guiding timely treatment decisions.
Veracyte reported strong financial results for Q3 2022, with total revenue of $75.6 million, a 25% increase year-over-year. Total test volume rose by 26% to 26,374 tests. The company secured new coverage for its Decipher Prostate test, expanding its reach to 195 million covered lives. Gross margin improved to 59%, and net loss reduced to $8.7 million, a 38% improvement. Veracyte raised its full-year 2022 revenue outlook to $288 million to $293 million, reflecting 31% to 33% growth compared to 2021.

Veracyte (Nasdaq: VCYT) presented new data at the ASTRO Annual Meeting 2022, indicating that a genomic signature from its Decipher GRID database can predict which men benefit from dose-intensified salvage radiotherapy (SRT) after prostate cancer surgery. In a phase 3 trial involving 226 men, those with higher PORTOS scores saw a 45% increase in clinical-progression-free survival (CPFS) at five years with SRT, as opposed to an observed -10% in those with lower scores. This predictive biomarker could aid in personalizing treatment for prostate cancer patients post-surgery.
Veracyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCYT) has shared new insights into thyroid tumor behavior derived from their extensive thyroid nodule database. Presenting at the American Thyroid Association Annual Meeting, researchers reviewed over 300 pathology reports, revealing a negative predictive value for low-risk nodules of 95%. The Afirma Genomic Sequencing Classifier (GSC) identified a higher malignancy risk of 15.3% in nodules with TSHR mutations, compared to <1.5% for benign classifications. These findings emphasize the potential for improved personalized treatment decisions.
