Oncocyte Corporation (OCX) is a pioneering precision diagnostics company dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of non-invasive, liquid biopsy diagnostics aimed at facilitating clinical decision-making in the early detection of cancer. The company focuses on molecular tests that address high unmet needs in the diagnosis of lung, breast, and bladder cancers, conditions where current diagnostic standards are often ambiguous, costly, and invasive. Oncocyte's tests are developed based on a proprietary set of biomarkers, designed to differentiate between benign and malignant nodules or masses.
Oncocyte’s flagship products include:
- DetermaIO™: A gene expression test that assesses the tumor microenvironment to predict response to immunotherapies.
- DetermaCNI™: A blood-based monitoring tool for therapeutic efficacy in cancer patients.
- VitaGraft™: A blood-based solid organ transplantation monitoring test.
- GraftAssure™: A research-use-only monitoring test for solid organ transplantation.
The company has made significant strides in expanding its diagnostic capabilities and achieving key regulatory and commercial milestones. In 2023, Oncocyte secured reimbursement for VitaGraft™ Kidney, manufactured the initial lots of GraftAssure RUO, and entered a strategic partnership with Bio-Rad Laboratories to commercialize GraftAssure and develop VitaGraft Kidney IVD. This partnership, along with a successful $15.8 million private placement offering, positions Oncocyte well to meet its critical commercial and regulatory goals.
Oncocyte continues to be supported by strong core investors and aims to provide clarity and confidence to physicians and their patients through its groundbreaking diagnostic tests. For more information, visit www.oncocyte.com.
Oncocyte Corporation (Nasdaq: OCX) has announced peer-reviewed data supporting the effectiveness of its DetermaIO™ test in predicting responses to immunotherapy in high-risk early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Published in the journal Cancers, the study indicates that DetermaIO outperforms the standard PD-L1 IHC biomarker.
