Veracyte (Nasdaq: VCYT) has announced expanded clinical validation data supporting the Percepta Nasal Swab test, which helps assess lung cancer risk in patients with lung nodules. This noninvasive test shows high sensitivity (97%) and negative predictive value (98%) for low-risk classifications, potentially reducing unnecessary invasive procedures. The test's performance is consistent across different nodule sizes and stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Veracyte is offering the test to selected clinical sites, aiming to build clinical utility data for reimbursement.

Veracyte announces the presentation of four abstracts at the CHEST 2021 Annual Meeting, highlighting the clinical impact of its genomic diagnostic tests for lung cancer. The studies show that the Percepta Nasal Swab test can effectively assess cancer risk in patients with lung nodules, enhancing decision-making for treatment options. Additional findings reinforce the value of the Percepta GSC and Envisia GC in managing lung cancer and interstitial lung disease.

Veracyte (Nasdaq: VCYT) announced that its Decipher® Prostate RP genomic classifier is included in the 2022 NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines for Oncology, advocating its use for treatment decisions in prostate cancer. The guidelines recommend Decipher Prostate RP for patients post-radical prostatectomy, particularly for those with high-risk scores (>0.6) for salvage radiotherapy. This recognition stems from data showing the classifier's predictive value in clinical outcomes, including survival rates and response to hormone therapy.
