About Oncocyte
Oncocyte is a molecular diagnostics company whose mission is to
provide actionable answers at critical decision points across the
cancer care continuum. The Company, through its proprietary tests
and pharmaceutical services business, aims to help save lives and
improve outcomes by accelerating and optimizing the diagnosis and
treatment of cancer. The Company’s tests and services present
multiple opportunities to advance cancer care while also driving
revenue growth for the Company. Oncocyte launched DetermaRx™, a
test that identifies early-stage lung cancer patients who are at
high risk for cancer recurrence post-resection, and predicts
benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Oncocyte has also launched
DetermaIO™, a gene expression test that assesses the tumor
microenvironment to predict response to immunotherapies, as a
research use only tool for pharmaceutical and academic clinical
trials. To complement DetermaIO™, the Company anticipates launching
DetermaTx™ in the second half of 2021 as a test to assess
mutational status of a tumor to help identify the appropriate
targeted therapy. The Company recently completed the acquisition of
Chronix Biomedical Inc. and its TheraSure™ CNI Monitor (to be
rebranded as DetermaCNI) and TheraSure™ Transplant Monitor test,
which are both available for clinical research use in EU, and also
plans to continue with the development of DetermaMx™ as the Company
seeks to expand into the blood-based monitoring market. Oncocyte’s
pharmaceutical services provide a full suite of molecular testing
services to support the drug development process for pharmaceutical
companies that are developing new cancer treatments.
