SEATTLE, March 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SEngine Precision Medicine, a precision oncology company revolutionizing cancer therapies by pre-testing drugs on patient-derived tumor organoids, today announced that data from a study summarizing the predictive value of the PARIS® Test in ovarian cancer patients will be presented virtually as a poster session (abstract number 534) at the American Association for Cancer Research annual conference, to be held April 10-15, 2021.
Details related to the poster presentation are as follows:
Title: Functional drug screening of organoids from ovarian cancer patients demonstrates clinical and genomic concordance and identifies novel therapeutic vulnerabilities
Lead Author: Goldie Lui, PhD
Senior Author: Carla Grandori, MD, PhD
Abstract Number: 534
Session Title: Laboratory Correlates for Targeted Agents
Dr. Lui will present clinical and genomic concordance data generated using the PARIS® Test’s oncology drug sensitivity report. The PARIS® Test’s reports assessed targeted, endocrine and chemotherapies tested on organoids derived from tumor samples from ovarian cancer patients and identified novel therapeutic vulnerabilities as a useful tool for clinicians’ decision making.
About PARIS® Test
The PARIS® Test is based on the capability to propagate patient-specific cancer cells as organoids outside the body and is applicable to all solid tumors including colon, breast, lung, ovarian and pancreatic cancer. Organoids are cancer-derived cells grown in 3D outside the body, which maintain the functionality of the original tumor as well as its genomic characteristics. For cancers where a treatment path is not clear, such as many metastatic and recurrent cancers, the PARIS® Test provides crucial information to treating physicians to match the right drug to the right patient.
