Natera to Present New Colorectal Cancer and Multiple Myeloma Data at the 2021 Annual ASCO Meeting
Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA) will present four posters at the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting from June 4-8, focusing on the Signatera molecular residual disease (MRD) test in colorectal cancer and multiple myeloma. Recent studies showcased Signatera's 100% effectiveness in detecting cancer recurrence in early-stage ovarian cancer, significantly ahead of radiological findings. The presentation aims to set a new benchmark for MRD assay performance, with additional evidence on Signatera's clinical validity across various cancer types.

AUSTIN, Texas, May 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA), a pioneer and global leader in cell-free DNA testing, today announced it will present 4 posters at the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, taking place June 4-8, 2021. These presentations will highlight the unique applications of the Signatera molecular residual disease (MRD) test in colorectal cancer and multiple myeloma.
This comes on top of two new studies that were recently presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting. One study reported superior performance by Signatera compared to standard of care CA-125, in detection of cancer recurrence with
"We look forward to presenting these groundbreaking new results at this year's ASCO conference, in particular the CIRCULATE-Japan data that should set a new benchmark for MRD assay performance in the context of the largest prospective multicenter study of its kind," said Alexey Aleshin, M.D., M.B.A., vice president of medical affairs, oncology, at Natera. "We are also excited to be sharing new evidence on the clinical validity of Signatera in a number of new cancer types, further demonstrating our commitment to advancing the field of MRD testing across solid tumors."
The ASCO abstract titles are as follows:
Abstract # 3540 | Serial circulating tumor DNA analysis for assessment of recurrence risk, benefit of adjuvant therapy, growth rate and early relapse detection in patients with stage III colorectal cancer
Abstract # 8029 | Personalized, ctDNA analysis to detect minimal residual disease and identify patients at high risk of relapse with multiple myeloma
Abstract # 3608 | Minimal Residual Disease by Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis for Colorectal Cancer Patients Receiving Radical Surgery: An Initial Report form CIRCULATE-Japan
Abstract # 4103 | Tumor-informed assessment of circulating tumor DNA and its incorporation into practice for patients with hepatobiliary cancers
Signatera is a custom-built circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) test for treatment monitoring and molecular residual disease (MRD) assessment in patients previously diagnosed with cancer. The test is available for both clinical and research use, and has been granted three Breakthrough Device Designations by the FDA for multiple cancer types and indications. The Signatera test is personalized and tumor-informed, providing each individual with a customized blood test tailored to fit the unique signature of clonal mutations found in that individual's tumor. This maximizes accuracy for detecting the presence or absence of residual disease in a blood sample, even at levels down to a single tumor molecule in a tube of blood. Signatera is intended to detect and quantify how much cancer is left in the body, to detect recurrence earlier and to help optimize treatment decisions.
The Signatera test performance has been clinically validated in multiple cancer types including colorectal, non-small cell lung, breast, and bladder cancers. Signatera has been developed and its performance characteristics determined by Natera, the CLIA-certified laboratory performing the test. The test has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). CAP accredited, ISO 13485 certified, and CLIA certified.
