    MDxHealth Launches ConfirmMDx™ for Prostate Cancer

    First epigenetic test to help identify men who may avoid repeat biopsies

    Regulatory News:

    MDxHealth SA (NYSE Euronext: MDXH), a leading molecular diagnostic company that develops and commercializes epigenetic tests to support cancer treatment, today announced the launch of ConfirmMDx™ for Prostate Cancer, a novel test that helps urologists distinguish patients who have a true-negative prostate biopsy from those who may have occult cancer. Testing will be performed in MDxHealth’s state-of-the-art Irvine-based CLIA laboratory for physicians submitting prostate tissue samples directly or via its exclusive co-marketing partner PLUS Diagnostics.

    “As many as one in four men could be misdiagnosed due to limitations with current prostate biopsy procedures, commonly described as ‘sampling error’. As a consequence, the standard of care for men with persistently high-risk factors, but no evidence of prostate cancer in a biopsy, is limited to continued surveillance and repeat biopsies, often on prostate-cancer-free men. The ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer test detects epigenetic changes associated with the presence or absence of prostate cancer,” explained Prof Dr. Wim van Crienkinge, Chief Scientific Officer of MDxHealth.

    “The launch of ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer represents the culmination of extensive research and development efforts and demonstrates the commitment of the MDxHealth team to deliver on its new commercial strategy,” said Dr. Jan Groen, CEO of MDxHealth. MDxHealth is uniquely positioned with its portfolio of epigenetic assays to capitalize on the realization of true personalized medicine, improving patient care, while reducing healthcare costs.”

    About ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer

    Over 650,000 American men receive a negative prostate biopsy result each year; however approximately 25-35% of these results are false negative. Under the current standard of care, prostate biopsy procedures collect 10-12 needle biopsy cores on average, effectively sampling less than 1% of a man’s prostate. This approach leaves men at risk of occult cancer, leading to a high rate of repeat biopsies, often on prostate-cancer-free men. There is an unmet medical need for a clinically effective diagnostic test to address this dilemma. ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer is an epigenetic assay to help distinguish patients who have a true-negative biopsy from those at risk for occult cancer. The test helps urologists rule out prostate cancer-free men from undergoing unnecessary repeat biopsies and, helps rule in high risk patients who may require repeat biopsies and potential treatment. The test is able to detect an epigenetic field effect or “halo” associated with the cancerization process at the DNA level in cells adjacent to cancer foci. This molecular “halo” around a cancer lesion can be present despite having a normal appearance under the microscope. Thus ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer aids urologists in identifying men who may forego unnecessary repeat biopsies.

    Please visit MDxHealth and PLUS Diagnostics at the American Urology Association Annual Meeting, May 19-23 2012 in Atlanta, GA, booths #3831 and #3923.

    MDxHealth lanceert test voor prostaatkanker

    Arne Petimezas - 15 mei 2012, 12:40
    Een test van MDxHealth moet helpen aantonen of er daadwerkelijk sprake is van prostaatkanker.

    Volgens MDxHealth wordt bij mogelijk een op de vier mannen de al dan niet aanwezigheid van prostaatkanker verkeerd gediagnosticeerd. Als gevolg van de diagnostische problemen moeten mannen met een hoge kans op prostaatkanker steeds een biopsie laten doen.



    De test ConfirmMDx moet nu vaststellen of bij een biopsie, een weefseltest, echt geen kanker aanwezig is of dat er wel degelijk sprake van sporen van kanker.



    De tests met het middel zullen worden uitgevoerd in MDxHealths laboratorium in Irvine in de Amerikaanse staat Californië.

    MDxHealth’s ConfirmMDxTM for Prostate Cancer Test Helps to Identify Men Able to Avoid Repeat Biopsies
    Multi-Center MATLOC Data Presented at AUA Annual Meeting

    IRVINE, CA, and LIEGE, BELGIUM, 23 May, 2012 - January 9, 2012 – MDxHealth SA (NYSE Euronext: MDXH), a leading molecular diagnostic company that develops and commercializes epigenetic tests to support cancer treatment, today announced it has presented data demonstrating that its epigenetic ConfirmMDxTM for Prostate Cancer test can aid urologists in identifying patients who may avoid a repeat prostate biopsy.

    In men suspected to have prostate cancer, the potential for false-negative biopsy results is well documented in the literature. Approximately twenty-five percent of men receiving a negative histopathology result, the gold standard for diagnosis, could be harboring occult cancer. Fear over this issue leads to additional physician visits, screening, and repeat biopsies, often on prostate-cancer-free men. MDxHealth’s ConfirmMDx test assesses the DNA methylation status of genes associated with prostate cancer. The test will help urologists differentiate patients with a true-negative biopsy from those who may have cancer undetected by prostate biopsy and histopathological review.

    The data from the MATLOC (Methylation Analysis To Locate Occult Cancer) study presented during the Late Breaking Science Forum yesterday at the American Urology Association (AUA) Annual meeting in Atlanta, USA, revealed that the ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer test is a powerful tool to aid urologists in addressing false-negative biopsy concerns.

    "With a high negative predictive value, exceeding that of standard microscopic histopathology review, the MATLOC study results demonstrate that the ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer test can help urologists confirm true-negative biopsy results, providing peace-of-mind and reducing unnecessary repeat biopsies,” explained principle investigator Dr. Grant Stewart from the Edinburgh Urological Cancer Group at the University of Edinburgh, who presented the data. “The test will also help urologists identify high-risk men who may have occult cancer, enabling more effective triage of these patients with a repeat biopsy and treatment as required."

    "These data confirm the high negative predictive value (NPV) and clinical utility of the ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer genes and DNA methylation technology previously reported in published studies. We believe the test fulfills an unmet medical need, complementing the current standard of care, and holds the potential to reduce unnecessary invasive procedures and the associated healthcare expenditures. Prostate biopsies pose significant risk of trauma and infection, at times requiring hospitalization. As a consequence, approximately one-third of men refuse to endure a repeat biopsy despite fear of a false- negative result, leaving these men at risk for disease progression. ConfirmMDx, a non- invasive assay performed on the residual prostate tissues from the previous negative biopsy, provides critical insights beyond histopathology to enable more informed patient management decisions," said Dr. Jan Groen, CEO of MDxHealth. "We are pleased to announce that ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer is now available to urologists directly through MDxHealth’s state-of-the-art CLIA laboratory, and via our co-marketing partner PLUS Diagnostics.”

    Study Details
    The multicenter MATLOC study involved 3 sites from the UK and Belgium, testing tissue from initial negative biopsies and comparing assay results to cancer detection in subsequent biopsies within 30 months revealing either cancer (cases) or negative results (controls). Individual prostate biopsies comprised 10 separate tissue cores on average. ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer was used to analyze the methylation status of a panel of validated biomarkers (GSTP1, APC and RASSF1) in 4,681 archived prostate biopsy cores from 483 men in a blinded fashion. Results demonstrated that the assay had a NPV of 90%

    Application of this assay to initial, negative prostate biopsies accurately identified over two- thirds of patients who had cancer detected on a subsequent prostate biopsy, while correctly confirming negative findings in approximately two-thirds of men who were cancer-free in a subsequent prostate biopsy. The high NPV of 90% indicates this assay could help avoid unnecessary repeat prostate biopsies.

    Approximately 60% of positive assay results were indicated by one methylated gene while the remaining 40% of cases displayed two or more methylated genes. Univariate analyses identified that the methylation panel was a significant predictor of prostate cancer diagnosis. These findings were confirmed with a multivariate logistic regression, correcting for PSA, age, digital rectal examination results prior to initial biopsy and histopathological findings of this biopsy.

    The study entitled “Clinical utility of a multiplexed epigenetic gene assay to detect cancer in histopathologically negative prostate biopsies: results of the multicenter MATLOC study”, was presented by Dr. Grant Stewart from the Edinburgh Urological Cancer Group at the University of Edinburgh, on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 during the late breaking science session. Abstracts from the conference are available online.

    Over 650,000 American men receive a negative prostate biopsy result each year; however approximately 25-35% of these results are false negative. Under the current standard of care, prostate biopsy procedures collect 10-12 needle biopsy cores on average, effectively sampling less than 1% of a man’s prostate. This approach leaves men at risk of occult cancer, leading to a high rate of repeat biopsies, often on prostate-cancer-free men. There is an unmet medical need for a clinically effective diagnostic test to address this dilemma.

Als we het algemene sentiment bekijken mogen we niet klagen maar een koersprong met al dit goed nieuws had ik ook wel verwacht! European valdidation is nu erg belangrijk! Gezien de strikte wetgeving in amerika zie ik daarom zeker goedkeuring binnen Europa!

    Overigens gezien dat Agendia 50mln heeft opgehaald?

    Agendia wilde aanvankelijk naar beurs maar ging niet door vanwege slecht beursklimaat. Eerder heb ik op dit forum al geplaatst dat MDX-Health veel bestuurders kent afkomstig van Agendia. Ander raakvlak: Agendia heeft ook lab in Irvine, California. Sluit daarom samengaan niet uit. Misschien een reverse take-over van MDX-Health waardoor Agendia alsnog op beurs komt; Agendia heeft nu iig de financiele middelen.

    Super post Harry! Zelf ben ik groot particulier belegger en investeer nu 8 maanden in mdxh, zelf een belang van ruim 200.000 aandelen in die tijd opgebouwd met een kleine verkoop van 18.500 aandelen kendrion a 18,80. Ik sluit niet uit dat Mdx ook overgenomen kan worden. Ik zie je graag terug volgens mij is je kennis zeker de moeite waard om te delen.
