CureMatch Presents PreciGENE Performance Results at AACR Annual Meeting

CureMatch Presents PreciGENE Performance Results at AACR Annual Meeting
ResearchValidation

SAN DIEGO, CA – April 13, 2018 – CureMatch, Inc. announces the presentation of new data showcasing advances in Precision Oncology at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in Chicago from April 14-18.

The poster, titled ‘Understanding tumor biology complexity in the advanced cancer setting: PreciGENE® platform predictions correlate with exceptional responses to cancer treatment’ will be presented by Amelie Boichard, Pharm.D, Ph.D and Stephane Richard, Ph.D, on Monday, April 16, 1:00PM CDT, during the ‘New Software for Data Analysis’ session.

This study highlights the possible benefits of an evidence-based selection of personalized therapy options in terms of patient response, and validates the data mining methods and optimized algorithms used by the CureMatch PreciGENE® therapeutic decision-support system.

The authors performed a retrospective analysis on published data of 70 cancer patients whose tumors were profiled by DNA sequencing or other molecular assay(s) and who received a total of 202 treatment lines. These patients presented an exceptional treatment response to at least one drug regimen. The CureMatch platform ranked all treatment regimens (both successful and unsuccessful) using the PreciGENE Score, reflecting the degree to which a therapy or combination of therapies matches a patient’s biomarker profile. The results revealed that the matching scores obtained for regimens that led to a positive outcome were significantly higher than those obtained for regimens that failed. The PreciGENE decision-support system predicted correctly the response to treatment in almost 80% of the cases (161 out of 202 regimens).

“This study demonstrates that the unique molecular profile presented by a patient’s tumor may explain the variability of responses observed after cancer therapy,” stated Razelle Kurzrock, M.D., co-founder of CureMatch and Director of the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy at UC San Diego. “In the near future, comprehensive analysis of cancer fingerprints will become an important step in modern clinical practice. Physicians will be able to guide clinical decisions based on better forecasted patient outcomes, which in turn will ultimately lead to a significant improvement of the healthcare system.”

“Offering oncologists actionable analysis to best treat individual cancer patients is at the center of everything we do at CureMatch,” stated Stephane Richard, Ph.D., President and CEO of CureMatch. “We believe the future of cancer care requires truly personalized treatments, and our collective goal is to provide optimized treatment options to advance the standards of clinical cancer practice.”

The PreciGENE® therapeutic decision-support system is the result of a sponsored collaboration between CureMatch Inc., UC San Diego and the San Diego Super-Computer Center. The platform has been optimized using molecular profiles clinically reviewed during weekly pluri-disciplinary meetings (tumor boards) at the UCSD Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy, and is currently tested in several prospective and retrospective validation studies.
