Inivata and Collaborators to Present New Data to Support the Application of RaDaR™ MRD Assay Across Tumor Types at ESMO Congress 2022
Research Triangle Park, NC, USA and Cambridge, UK, 7 September 2022 -- Inivata, a leader in liquid biopsy, alongside collaborators, will present new data on its RaDaR™ assay for the detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) and recurrence at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, taking place on 9-13 September 2022. Inivata and NeoGenomics, Inivata’s parent company, will host a joint booth in the exhibition hall at the conference.
Data will be presented from the single-center prospective cohort ‘LIONESS’ study in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients receiving primary surgery with curative intent. The study demonstrated that the RaDaR assay was able to detect ctDNA in 100% of cases with confirmed clinical recurrences, highlighting the significant potential of the assay to guide treatment decisions and improve disease outcome.
Inivata and collaborators will also present updated follow-up data and biomarker analysis from a study investigating administration of pre-operative ipilimumab and nivolumab for the treatment of advanced urothelial cancer. In the updated study, the RaDaR assay was used to confirm the association of pre-operative plasma ctDNA detection with pathological response that was observed in the earlier analysis. Results from the complete cohort will be presented at the ESMO Congress.
Vishal Sikri, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Inivata, and President, Pharma Services, NeoGenomics, said: “The data from these latest studies further highlight the potential role of RaDaR in guiding treatment decisions, with applicability across different tumor types. We believe that the assay has the potential to transform cancer care as we progress towards broad-scale commercialization.”
Abstracts are now available on the ESMO website and accompanying posters will be available to view during the conference, via the ESMO e-poster site, together with audio description.
