Volition Announces Two Oral Presentations at Asian Meeting of Animal Medicine Specialties

Rhea-AI Summary

VolitionRx Limited announced two oral presentations featuring its Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Test at AMAMS 2025 in Thailand. The presentations showcase results from clinical studies conducted by Dr. Masahiko Sato in collaboration with FujiFilm Vet Systems. The first presentation explores the test's ability to differentiate between Canine Chronic Enteropathy and Gastrointestinal Lymphoma, while the second evaluates plasma nucleosome concentrations as a biomarker for canine nasal tumors. Dr. Sato, Chief of Internal Medicine Service at the Veterinary Specialists Emergency Center in Japan, highlighted the test's potential as a valuable diagnostic tool. Kiyotaka Fujiwara, COO at Fujifilm Vet Systems, expressed optimism about the test's wider adoption following Dr. Sato's research and publications.

Insights

Veterinary Diagnostics Expert

Volition's veterinary cancer test gains validation through Japanese research presentations, potentially expanding its Asian market presence.

The presentations at AMAMS 2025 mark a significant development for Volition's Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Test, showcasing two distinct clinical applications researched by a prominent Japanese veterinarian. The first study demonstrates the test's utility in differentiating between Canine Chronic Enteropathy and Gastrointestinal Lymphoma - a critical clinical distinction that often requires invasive procedures to diagnose accurately. The second application explores its potential as a biomarker for canine nasal tumors.

What's particularly notable is the involvement of Dr. Masahiko Sato, characterized as a key opinion leader in veterinary medicine, working in conjunction with Fujifilm Vet Systems. This collaboration with an established commercial partner suggests potential distribution channels are developing in the Japanese market. The statement from Fujifilm's COO that Dr. Sato has "adopted" the test indicates early clinical implementation beyond just research.

For context, veterinary oncology diagnostics traditionally rely on invasive procedures like biopsies or advanced imaging. Blood-based biomarkers represent a significant advancement, offering less invasive and potentially more accessible cancer screening options. The specific applications being researched - gastrointestinal and nasal cancers - are challenging diagnostic areas in veterinary medicine where early detection can substantially impact treatment outcomes.

These presentations contribute to building clinical evidence supporting the test's utility in specific applications rather than just general cancer screening, which typically accelerates adoption among veterinary specialists. While the immediate financial impact isn't quantified, the scientific validation in the Asian veterinary market represents meaningful progress in Volition's commercialization strategy.

HENDERSON, Nevada, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- VolitionRx Limited (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) ("Volition"), a multi-national epigenetics company, today announces two oral presentations featuring its Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Test at the Asian Meeting of Animal Medicine Specialties (AMAMS 2025), a premier event bringing together leading veterinary professionals and experts from across Asia. The two presentations feature results from two clinical studies conducted by Dr Masahiko Sato, DVM, PhD, DACVIM (SAIM), DAiCVIM (IM) in conjunction with FujiFilm Vet Systems.
