Oncocyte (NYSE American: OCX), a molecular diagnostics company with a mission to provide actionable answers at critical decision points across the cancer care continuum, recently provided an update on DetermaRx’s global growth and adoption. According to the update, DetermaRx is a treatment stratification test that identifies stage I-IIA non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) patients at high risk of recurrence, despite ostensibly curative surgery, who may benefit from the addition of chemotherapy. Since its January commercial launch in the U.S., DetermaRx has begun to be reimbursed by Medicare and multiple private payers and has seen rapid adoption across 67 hospitals. “We are encouraged by the increasing quarter-over-quarter growth of DetermaRx,” Padma Sundar, head of commercial at Oncocyte, said in the press release. “Our rapid growth is taking place across all important metrics, such as test volume, reorder rate, inclusion in hospital ordering systems, and test adoption at premiere community practices as well as prestigious National Cancer Institute (“NCI”) designated cancer centers and National Comprehensive Network Cancer (“NCCN”) centers. We believe the rapid adoption of DetermaRx reflects the significant clinical need for this test, which is the only test currently available to drive critical treatment decisions for early-stage lung cancer patients who may be at risk for recurrence. Our compelling new prospective data demonstrates that treatment informed by DetermaRx significantly improves lung cancer patient survival, and we believe this test could be practice-changing, potentially guiding the use of not only chemotherapy but also the use of targeted therapies in the future.”
