VolitionRx Limited (NYSE American: VNRX) announced the publication of the first peer-reviewed paper detailing its proprietary Capture-Seq liquid biopsy technology, which the company said is the first to isolate and analyze more than 99% pure circulating tumor-derived DNA (“ctDNA”). According to the publication, the technology addresses a longstanding challenge in liquid biopsy by separating cancer-derived DNA from the large background of healthy cell-free DNA, creating highly enriched tumor DNA datasets for cancer detection and monitoring. Volition said it is conducting technical evaluations with potential licensing partners and estimates the technology addresses annual market opportunities of approximately $23 billion for multi-cancer early detection and more than $13 billion for minimal residual disease applications.
Volition said the published research describes a two-step process combining physical sample enrichment with bioinformatic filtering to produce greater than 99% pure ctDNA sequencing datasets. Company scientists said early validation studies demonstrated strong cancer detection results, including no false positives in initial cohorts and high detection rates for early-stage cancers, while additional blinded studies have produced encouraging findings. Volition said it is advancing larger validation studies, working with oncology key opinion leaders and expanding patent protection for the technology as it explores commercialization opportunities.
