Required to commercialise DetermaVu, the validation study will assess the machine’s performance in a variety of factors such as quantitation, precision, reproducibility and interfering substances.

“We already have in-house all of the required patient blood samples allowing us to advance efficiently through this study.”

OncoCyte president and CEO William Annett said: “We are very pleased to have initiated the analytical validation study, the next critical step toward the completion of development of DetermaVu.

“Importantly, we already have in-house all of the required patient blood samples allowing us to advance efficiently through this study.”

OncoCyte reported positive results from a research and development (R&D) validation study conducted in January this year. The test demonstrated 90% sensitivity and 75% specificity in a cohort of 250 patient blood samples, with high-accuracy compared with other liquid biopsy tests and clinical models.
