Seer Technology Access Center Provides Unprecedented Scale and Depth of Coverage for PrognomiQ’s Early Cancer Detection Study
June 02 2024 - 9:55AM
Seer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEER), a leading life sciences company
commercializing a disruptive new platform for proteomics, announced
today that PrognomiQ has completed the largest and deepest unbiased
mass spectrometry plasma biomarker study to date utilizing the Seer
Proteograph™ Product Suite and Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Thermo
Scientific™ Orbitrap™ Astral™ mass spectrometer. This pioneering
research involved a multi-cancer case-control cohort of 2,840
subjects, achieving the detection of over 13,000 protein groups in
plasma across the study, with an average of over 8,200 protein
groups in plasma per sample.
PrognomiQ collected blood samples across 77 clinical sites in
the U.S., and processed plasma samples using their in-house Seer
Proteograph SP100 instruments and XT assays. The resulting peptides
were sent to the Seer Technology Access Center (STAC) in Redwood
City to be analyzed using the Orbitrap Astral mass spectrometers.
This study demonstrates the combined power of two leading
proteomics technologies and their ability to efficiently and
rapidly conduct deep, unbiased plasma proteomics studies at scale.
PrognomiQ’s findings highlight unprecedented depth and sensitivity
in proteomics, unlocking significant biological insights for early
cancer detection.
"This study represents a significant milestone in cancer
biomarker research. The depth and breadth of data obtained have the
potential to transform early cancer detection and build on earlier
studies with the Seer Proteograph™ Product Suite," said Bruce
Wilcox, Chief Technology Officer of PrognomiQ.
Dr. Wilcox will present the complete study results in an oral
presentation at the American Society of Mass Spectrometry (ASMS)
Conference on Thursday, June 6 at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time after
sharing some findings at the user breakfast meeting hosted by
Thermo Fisher on Sunday, June 2 at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time.
"We are excited to see the impact that the Orbitrap Astral has
on deep unbiased biomarker discovery in such a comprehensive
study,” said John Lesica, President, Chromatography and Mass
Spectrometry at Thermo Fisher. “Our collaboration with Seer to
launch the STAC underscores our commitment to advancing proteomics
research and, ultimately, its application in healthcare."
"This study represents the largest and deepest unbiased
proteomics study reported to date, and it is uniquely enabled by
the Proteograph XT Assay kit and the Orbitrap Astral mass
spectrometer,” said Omid Farokhzad, CEO and Chair of Seer. “The
STAC provides a robust and cost-effective service for academic and
biopharma customers to access the power of our combined platforms,
enabling a new standard for proteomics discovery and translational
research.”
