Castle Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSTL), a company improving health through innovative tests that guide patient care, will highlight the impactful risk stratification provided by its TissueCypher® test in patients with Barrett’s esophagus (BE) through two posters at the 2023 American College of Gastroenterology (ACG 2023) Annual Scientific Meeting, taking place Oct. 20-25, in Vancouver, Canada.

Key Points: 
  • Castle Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSTL), a company improving health through innovative tests that guide patient care, will highlight the impactful risk stratification provided by its TissueCypher® test in patients with Barrett’s esophagus (BE) through two posters at the 2023 American College of Gastroenterology (ACG 2023) Annual Scientific Meeting, taking place Oct. 20-25, in Vancouver, Canada.
  • “However, we find that at least half of the patients who progress to EAC come from this “low-risk” population, which tells us that there is a critical need to improve our risk-stratification of these patients.
  • In patients with higher-risk clinicopathologic factors (males with a pathology diagnosis of indefinite for dysplasia (IND) or LGD), TissueCypher identified low-risk patients with predicted progression rates similar to patients with NDBE.
  • Overall, the data show the risk stratification provided by the TissueCypher test can aid physicians and patients in making risk-aligned patient management decisions, such as escalated or de-escalated care, which may lead to improved health outcomes.

The data was presented in a poster at the recent American Foregut Society (AFS) Annual Meeting.

Key Points: 
  • The data was presented in a poster at the recent American Foregut Society (AFS) Annual Meeting.
  • The poster, titled “A Tissue Systems Pathology Test Enables Risk-Aligned Management of Patients with Non-Dysplastic Barrett’s Esophagus: Case Reports from a Gastrointestinal Surgery Center,” can be viewed here .
  • The case study reinforced the ability of TissueCypher to identify NDBE patients at high/intermediate risk for progression to HGD/EAC.
  • Identification of NDBE patients with similar progression risk to LGD enables physicians and their patients to consider risk-aligned upstaging of care to prevent development of EAC and improve their overall health outcomes.

The study aimed to compare the test’s performance against an international panel of 14 expert and 16 community-based, generalist pathologists from five countries.

Key Points: 
  • The study aimed to compare the test’s performance against an international panel of 14 expert and 16 community-based, generalist pathologists from five countries.
  • Use of the TissueCypher test in combination with pathology review identified 80.4% of patients who progressed, indicating that the test can increase the early detection of progressors when used with pathology.
  • Overall, the study demonstrated that TissueCypher can accurately predict progression to HGD or EAC in BE patients who are initially diagnosed with LGD in a community setting.
  • Further, TissueCypher test results can provide an objective solution to variable pathology review, allowing physicians to make more informed management decisions for their patients, which may include upstaging care for patients at high risk for progression and reducing unnecessary interventions in low-risk patients.

Most patients were male (61.8%), under surveillance in a community-based practice (94.9%) and had a diagnosis of non-dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus (NDBE) (95.1%), which is representative of the general BE patient population.

Key Points: 
  • Most patients were male (61.8%), under surveillance in a community-based practice (94.9%) and had a diagnosis of non-dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus (NDBE) (95.1%), which is representative of the general BE patient population.
  • Patients with NDBE are considered to be at low risk for progression based on their clinical risk factors.
  • These data demonstrate that TissueCypher provided impactful risk stratification, independent of clinicopathologic risk factors, to enable risk-aligned management of BE patients.
  • This included objective information to support surveillance-only management for patients with a low risk of progression and escalated surveillance/treatment for patients at high risk of progression.
