bioAffinity Technologies (Nasdaq: BIAF; BIAFW) announced that its VP of Diagnostics, Jennifer Rebeles, Ph.D., contributed to a peer-reviewed paper on flow cytometry guidelines for rare matrix samples. The paper, published in Cytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry, supports the validation approach used for bioAffinity's CyPath® Lung cancer test.
CyPath® Lung is a noninvasive test for early lung cancer detection, particularly useful for patients with pulmonary nodules. It has shown 92% sensitivity and 87% specificity in detecting lung cancer in nodules 20mm or less. The new guidelines address challenges in validating unique sample types like sputum, which CyPath® Lung uses.
The paper supplements the CLSI Guideline H62 and reflects the increasing use of specialized samples in flow cytometry. It acknowledges the challenges bioAffinity scientists overcame in developing CyPath® Lung, including dealing with high viscosity, inhibitors, and complex cellular mixtures.
bioAffinity Technologies has been awarded a U.S. Federal Supply Schedule contract for its CyPath® Lung test, a noninvasive diagnostic tool for early-stage lung cancer detection. This contract enables the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and Military Health System to access the test for their patients. The VHA, serving 9.1 million Veterans annually, is the largest integrated healthcare system in the U.S.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in Veterans, who are 25% more likely to receive a lung cancer diagnosis compared to non-Veterans. The CyPath® Lung test is particularly effective for patients with indeterminate pulmonary nodules detected during low dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans. A recent economic impact study suggests that incorporating CyPath® Lung into the current standard of care could result in significant healthcare cost savings.
A peer-reviewed economic study published in the Journal of Health Economics and Outcomes Research has found that incorporating bioAffinity Technologies' CyPath® Lung test into the standard care for Medicare patients with positive lung cancer screenings could lead to significant healthcare savings. The study, conducted by researchers from Brooke Army Medical Center and South Texas Veterans Health Care Systems, estimates potential savings of $2,773 per patient, totaling $379 million in 2022.
The savings are attributed to reduced follow-up diagnostic assessments, expensive procedures, and related complications. For private-payer patients, the potential savings are even higher at $6,460 per patient, with a total estimated savings of $895 million if all screened individuals in 2022 were privately insured. The study highlights CyPath® Lung's potential to improve early lung cancer diagnosis while reducing unnecessary procedures and medical complications.
