GammaTile showed superiority in the primary endpoint of the study. Patients who received GammaTile lived longer without tumor regrowth, reducing the risk of either tumor recurrence or death by 50% reduction compared to standard of care, according to interim results from the ROADS clinical trial, which evaluated GammaTile versus standard of care in patients with operable, newly diagnosed brain metastases.
The Decipher Prostate Genomic Classifier predicts which patients with metastatic cancer are likely to benefit from treatment intensification with the chemotherapy docetaxel and which are not likely to benefit and can therefore avoid unnecessary toxicity, according to findings by University College London and Veracyte, Inc., a genomic diagnostic company.
