The Launch Aligns with the Company's Commitment to Personalized Care and Expanding it's Companion Diagnostics Portfolio
LAKE FOREST, Calif., April 8, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- EmeritusDX, a leading cancer diagnostics and information company, is excited to announce the launch of the FDA-approved therascreen® BRAF and KRAS tests. These innovative products represent a significant advancement in the company's molecular testing menu and aligns perfectly with its strategy of enhancing patient care.
"Our commitment at EmeritusDX has always been to deliver cutting-edge solutions that positively impact patient outcomes," said CEO Robert Embree. "The introduction of the therascreen® BRAF and KRAS portfolio is a testament to this commitment. It not only expands our molecular testing menu but also builds upon our patient care strategy. We are proud to offer these advanced diagnostic tools to our healthcare partners and their patients."
The therascreen® BRAF test is a companion diagnostic for encorafenib (Braftovi), a BRAF inhibitor used in treating adult patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) harboring a BRAF V600E mutation. This test is critical in identifying patients who are candidates for this targeted therapy.
The therascreen® KRAS test plays a crucial role in the identification of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients eligible for targeted therapies. It aids in the identification of CRC patients eligible for treatment with Erbitux® (cetuximab) or Vectibix® (panitumumab).
According to EmeritusDX's Chief Scientist, Dr. Vincent Funari, "The therascreen® BRAF and KRAS tests are a game-changer in personalized medicine for CRC patients. This precise approach ensures that patients receive the most effective treatment tailored to their specific genetic profile. EmeritusDX aims to address the dilemma of minimal biopsy material by increasing the likelihood of results with scant tumor samples while providing market leading turnaround times for patients and physicians."
EmeritusDX's latest offering underscores its dedication to advancing personalized medicine and reinforces its position as a pioneer in molecular diagnostics. The therascreen® BRAF and KRAS tests are now available to healthcare providers, marking a new chapter in the company's journey towards revolutionizing patient care through innovative diagnostic solutions.
