CHICAGO -- (Business Wire)
NantHealth,
Inc. (NASDAQ: NH), a leading next-generation, evidence-based,
personalized healthcare company, unveiled Liquid GPS™ a powerful
next-generation tool for blood-based tumor profiling and quantitative
monitoring.
NantHealth chose the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2018
Annual Meeting to showcase the potential of Liquid GPS™ — a blood-based
molecular test that provides oncologists with a powerful tool to
continuously monitor and profile tumors, an approach that is less
invasive than a traditional biopsy.
Liquid GPS™ expands upon NantHealth’s molecular analysis portfolio of
products — which includes the tissue-based GPS Cancer ™ solution. Liquid
GPS offers sophisticated analysis tools — looking beyond cfDNA to cfRNA.
This technology allows more comprehensive profiling and trending of
biomarkers that can’t be assessed by cfDNA alone. As a result, Liquid
GPS™ offers a richer portrait of a patient’s condition and offers more
therapeutic targets, such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy, than a
typical liquid biopsy.
“We believe the development of Liquid GPS is important to our broader
vision for fighting cancer from a biological, rather than an anatomical
perspective,” said Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, CEO of NantHealth “This test
is a non-invasive way to achieve molecular insights that could help
shape treatment and provide the oncologist and patients real-time
information on the status of the cancer. This work builds on what
NantHealth has already done with GPS Cancer as we focus on successfully
analyzing and treating cancer at the molecular level.”
