IRVING, Texas - Caris Life Sciences (NASDAQ:CAI), a precision medicine company with a market capitalization of $7.86 billion, has published data in the New England Journal of Medicine that validates recent findings on tumor-infiltrating clonal hematopoiesis (TI-CH), according to a company press release issued Tuesday. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a healthy gross profit margin of 46.71% on revenues of $452.5 million in the last twelve months.
The study analyzed 3,255 matched tumor-blood samples from Caris’ database, confirming that TI-CH is prevalent across solid tumors. The highest incidence was found in non-small cell lung cancer, affecting approximately one in four patients (23%).
The research showed that patients with TI-CH have worse outcomes, with a 30% higher risk of death compared to patients without the condition. TI-CH involves blood-derived mutations that infiltrate tumor tissue and can be misinterpreted as tumor-specific mutations, potentially leading to inappropriate treatment decisions.
"The ability to validate important studies shows how collaboration between Caris scientists and a Caris Precision Oncology Alliance member can quickly respond to and confirm new discoveries," said David Spetzler, President of Caris, in the statement.
George W. Sledge, Jr., Caris EVP and Chief Medical Officer, added that understanding clonal hematopoietic mutations’ role in treatment response could lead to improved patient outcomes.
Caris Life Sciences describes itself as a precision medicine company that uses comprehensive molecular profiling and artificial intelligence technologies to analyze disease complexity. The company is headquartered in Irving, Texas, with additional offices in Phoenix, New York, Cambridge, Tokyo, and Basel.
