"We look forward to sharing data about the ongoing discovery and development of our novel RNA-based signatures and tests at the PMWC and ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) GU meetings," said Michael Milburn, PhD, GeneCentric President and CEO. "We are encouraged to see the growing adoption of our signatures and tests by commercial reference labs and biopharma partners leading the way in precision oncology."

GeneCentric will present at PMWC, which was established in 2009 and is the largest annual conference dedicated to precision medicine. GeneCentric’s presentations will highlight the use of transcriptomics in precision medicine and the development of RNA-based diagnostics.

Details of the PMWC presentations are as follows:

Title: Transcriptomics in Precision Oncology: Opportunities and Limitations (Panel)
Session: Track 3, 11:00 a.m. PST
Date: 24 January 2024
Presenter: Charles Perou, PhD, GeneCentric Co-Founder and Professor of Genetics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Title: Advancing Precision Medicine with Novel RNA Companion Diagnostics
Session: Track 3, 11:45 a.m. PST
Date: 24 January 2024
Presenter: Michael Milburn, PhD, GeneCentric President and CEO

ASCO GU, in its 20th year, features the latest high-impact science, multidisciplinary expertise, and evidence-based practices in GU cancer care. GeneCentric will present two posters highlighting the discovery of two novel RNA-based predictive response signatures that are being developed as potential diagnostic tests for patients with a primary diagnosis of urothelial cancer. One signature is focused on patients who are potential candidates for fibroblast growth factor receptor inhibitor (FGFRi; FGFR-PRS) treatment and the other for those who are potential candidates for anti-PD-(L)1 inhibition (ICI-PRS) treatment.

Details of the ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper)-GU presentations are as follows:

Title: Development of a novel RNA-based fibroblast growth factor receptor response signature (FGFR-PRS) for use in patients with urothelial cancer (UC).
Session: Poster Session B (Urothelial Carcinoma)
Date: 26 January 2024
Abstract/Poster Number: Abstract 548, Poster Board D19

Title: Development of a novel RNA-based immune checkpoint inhibitor response signature (ICI-PRS) that avoids standard-of-care (SOC) prognostic signal for use in patients with urothelial cancer (UC).
Session: Poster Session B (Urothelial Carcinoma)
Date: 26 January 2024
Abstract/Poster Number: Abstract 549, Poster Board D20
