GRAIL has partnered with the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute to offer the advanced Galleri blood test, which aims to detect over 50 types of cancer early. The pilot program will be available to eligible patients, enhancing cancer detection methods significantly, as traditional screenings only cover a limited number of cancer types. Galleri's low false positive rate and high accuracy in identifying cancer origins are crucial in the fight against cancer, which claims over 600,000 lives annually in the U.S.
GRAIL announced a collaboration with Premier, Inc.'s PINC AI to enhance patient access to Galleri, a multi-cancer early detection blood test. This partnership aims to integrate AI-based alerts for clinicians to identify patients at elevated cancer risk. Community Health Network will pilot these alerts. The Galleri test can detect over 50 cancer types through a single blood draw, improving early detection and treatment outcomes. GRAIL emphasizes the importance of early cancer detection to increase survival rates, as many cancers are diagnosed late when treatment options are limited.
Illumina (NASDAQ: ILMN) has announced a co-development agreement with SomaLogic to integrate the SomaScan® Proteomics Assay with its next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms. This collaboration aims to enhance the high throughput proteomics market, enabling researchers to analyze thousands of samples for over 10,000 protein targets efficiently and cost-effectively. The partnership taps into the estimated $50 billion proteomics market, allowing Illumina to utilize its extensive NGS technology to boost multiomic research capabilities. Discussions regarding this partnership will take place at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on January 10, 2022.
