HAYWARD, Calif., Feb. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Predicine, a global molecular insights company, is committed to advancing genitourinary (GU) cancer detection and treatment decisions through its proprietary non-invasive next-generation sequencing (NGS) assays. Predicine’s technology aims to help provide translational insights and key information through:

• Identification of actionable variants in bladder cancer using the PredicineCARE^TM urine cfDNA NGS assay, a non-invasive molecular diagnostic test 
• Clinical application of copy number variations (CNV) monitoring in bladder cancer and prostate cancer using PredicineCNB^TM
• Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) detection and monitoring in Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) using a personalized and actionable MRD assay, PredicineBEACON^TM
  

Predicine will present four posters at the ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, February 16-18, 2023, highlighting the technical and clinical utility of Predicine's suite of liquid based comprehensive genomic solutions in bladder, prostate tumors. The posters to be presented include:

• Evaluating the technical feasibility of a urine cell-free DNA (cfDNA) NGS assay for identifying biomarkers in bladder cancer - Poster BD# N8 (collaboration with Janssen Pharmaceuticals)
• Diagnoses of prostate cancer using cell-free DNA methylation profiles from expressed prostatic secretions - Poster BD# N6 (collaboration with Zhejiang Hospital)
• Clinical applications of urine and blood-based genome wide copy number study from 1000 bladder and prostate cancer patients - Poster BD# G19
• Cell-free urinary tumor DNA to detect minimal residual disease prior to repeat-transurethral resection of bladder tumor in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer: A prospective study - Poster BD# C1 (collaboration with Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, Merit Award)

“Liquid biopsy has revolutionized our ability to diagnose, monitor and guide therapy for genitourinary cancers. At Predicine, we are proud to be pioneering the development and use of liquid biopsy technology to drive forward clinical trial and companion diagnostics development. Our portfolio of innovative products and services and recent FDA Breakthrough Device Designation are testaments to our commitment to transforming healthcare through precision medicine", said Dr. Shidong Jia, Founder & Global CEO.
