VolitionRx (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) has published findings from three large, independent studies conducted in France, Germany, and the Netherlands, involving over 3,000 sepsis patients. The studies demonstrate that their Nu.Q® NETs test could predict patients at higher risk of deteriorating from sepsis by measuring levels of circulating H3.1 nucleosomes in the bloodstream. Research shows that elevated H3.1 levels are associated with increased risk of mortality, renal failure, respiratory failure, multi-organ failure, and septic shock. The company is currently seeking to commercialize Nu.Q® NETs and using these study findings to support licensing discussions with industry stakeholders.
VolitionRx (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) is participating in a webinar hosted by Edison Group to discuss new data on the potential use of Nu.Q® NETs in sepsis management. The data, presented at ESICM LIVES 2024, includes three independent studies involving over 3000 patients and more than 14,000 patient samples. The webinar, scheduled for October 21, 2024, at 10:00 AM ET, will feature updates from Volition's Chief Medical Officer and Chief Commercial Officer.
The presentation will focus on the role of H3.1 nucleosomes in NETosis, the implications of elevated H3.1 levels in sepsis patients, and the potential of Nu.Q® NETs biomarker to predict organ failure. Volition's Nu.Q® NETs technology quantifies circulating H3.1 nucleosomes in the bloodstream, serving as a surrogate marker for Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs). The company aims to develop simple, cost-effective blood tests for diagnosing and monitoring various diseases, including cancer, in both humans and animals.
VolitionRx (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) is hosting a symposium at ESICM Lives 2024 in Barcelona on October 7, 2024. The session, titled 'NETs: Casting a new light on sepsis management', will feature experts presenting findings from large, independent studies on using Nu.Q® NETs to enhance sepsis management.
Professor Djillali Annane, chair of the symposium, highlights the potential of Nu.Q® NETs H3.1 assay in clinical practice for sepsis management. The symposium will explore the role of H3.1 nucleosomes in NETosis, the clinical utility of H3.1 in recent large-scale studies, and how Nu.Q® NETs biomarker could predict organ failure.
Nu.Q® NETs is Volition's technology that quantifies circulating H3.1 nucleosomes in the bloodstream, a surrogate marker for Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs). Elevated levels of NETs can lead to tissue damage, sepsis, organ failure, and death.
