FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CIRCULOGENE presented plasma PD-L1 data at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) / American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Multidisciplinary Thoracic Cancers Symposium
Liquid PD-L1 data demonstrates clinical utility in lung cancer patients
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. and Pensacola, Fla. (December 2, 2021) – CIRCULOGENE, an innovative medical technology company transforming precision medicine through the rapid delivery of actionable results, today announced plasma PD-L1 outcomes data presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Multidisciplinary Thoracic Cancers Symposium being held December 2-4 at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Conclusions of Data Presented:
- Plasma cell free PD-L1 RNA (cfRNA) expression was predictive of survival benefit of immunotherapy treatment over chemotherapy in a real-world population of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
- The 3-year landmark outcome study of 30% parallels tissue PD-L1 predictive clinical trial outcomes.
“This data demonstrates that liquid PD-L1 RNA expression is as clinically beneficial as tissue PD-L1,” Dr. Paul Walker, Chief Medical Officer of CIRCULOGENE said. “Plasma PD-L1 has significant clinical utility guiding immunotherapy treatment.”
“CIRCULOGENE offers the only tumor molecular test including liquid/plasma PD-L1 that has been demonstrated to be predictive of immunotherapy survival benefit,” said Mike Mullen, President and CEO of CIRCULOGENE. “The presence of PD-L1 is important to oncologists for making effective patient treatment decisions such as immunotherapy versus chemotherapy. Getting the right treatment to the right patient leads to better outcomes.”
Dr. Walker’s pre-recorded review of the study and clinical outcome can be viewed on the CIRCULOGENE YouTube Channel.
