Biological Dynamics, Inc., a leader in exosome-isolation technology for early disease detection, announced a newly published study in Nature’s Communications Medicine titled “ Development of a Blood-Based EV Classifier for Detection of Early-Stage Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma .” The research demonstrates the effectiveness of exosome-isolation technology in detecting Stage I and II pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), using an independent validation cohort.

Key Points: 
  • Biological Dynamics, Inc., a leader in exosome-isolation technology for early disease detection, announced a newly published study in Nature’s Communications Medicine titled “ Development of a Blood-Based EV Classifier for Detection of Early-Stage Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma .” The research demonstrates the effectiveness of exosome-isolation technology in detecting Stage I and II pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), using an independent validation cohort.
  • Biological Dynamics’ ExoVita Pancreas assay, powered by the ExoVerita™ platform, uses the AC Electrokinetics method for exosome isolation.
  • “Driven by our Verita technology, the ExoVita test can detect challenging diseases like pancreatic cancer earlier than ever.
  • With further testing in real-world settings, we are confident our exosome enabled test will be useful for high-risk surveillance and early detection of pancreatic cancer, resulting in improved patient outcomes.”

The detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at early-stages is critical to improving patient survival.

Key Points: 
  • The detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at early-stages is critical to improving patient survival.
  • Today, Biological Dynamics’ liquid biopsy offering, ExoVita™ Pancreas, targets and isolates exosomes from patients’ blood samples to detect the likelihood of developing PDAC.
  • Early studies show that the assay can detect pancreatic cancer at stages I and II, with high sensitivity and specificity.
  • “The ExoLuminate study will further validate our assay, along with generating evidence of early disease in people who are at a higher risk for developing pancreatic cancer.

Biological Dynamics’ will exhibit its technology and early cancer detection assays at booth #1368.

Key Points: 
  • Biological Dynamics’ will exhibit its technology and early cancer detection assays at booth #1368.
  • “Pancreatic and lung cancers are two of the deadliest cancers in the U.S., as they are often diagnosed in late stages, making treatment more difficult and lowering survival chances.
  • Results show that Biological Dynamics’ lung assay, performed on the ExoVerita platform, detected cancer with an overall sensitivity and specificity of approximately 91%.
  • The presented data suggest the potential for the company’s technology and assays to become an integral component of surveillance for and early detection of cancers.
