The innovative test is designed to detect HER2 genetic amplification and protein expression in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the bloodstream, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional tissue biopsies. BioView's technology utilizes a microfluidic CTC enrichment system alongside advanced AI-based automated imaging and analysis, which may provide a more accurate representation of HER2 status across primary and metastatic tumors. InvestingPro subscribers can access additional insights about BioView's financial health, which currently rates as "Fair" with a score of 2.42.
In a study involving 43 MBC patients, the liquid biopsy test reclassified three out of five patients who were initially deemed HER2-negative by tissue biopsy as HER2-positive. This discovery suggests that the liquid biopsy could serve as a vital supplementary tool for ongoing monitoring of HER2 status, potentially influencing treatment plans and improving outcomes.
The U.S. National Institutes of Health reports that about 81% of breast cancer patients are initially diagnosed as HER2-negative, a status that can evolve over time. The liquid biopsy test developed by BioView and its partner could enable continuous monitoring, identifying patients who might benefit from HER2-targeted treatments such as Herceptin or Enhertu.
Dr. Chassidy Johnson, Chief Scientist at BioView, commented on the results, emphasizing the test's ability to detect a range of HER2 expressions and its potential role in guiding the use of advanced HER2-targeted therapies.
