Sapien’s samples and real world data enables validation of a new Indian breast cancer test with high concordance to OncotypeDx test

/0 Comments/in /by

In 2014, Sapien partnered with Oncostem Diagnostics to provide our curated breast cancer FFPE blocks and RWE 5 years treatment and recurrence outcome data to enable the validation of a new test to accurately determine the risk of recurrence in early stage breast ca patients. A key goal of the test was to identify patients at low risk that could avoid chemotherapy and its side-effects, a major benefit to #cancerpatients (see Sapien referenced in this & previous papers).

It’s gratifying to see their first test, canAssist Breast for hormone positive breast cancer patients, perform equivalent to the gold standard Oncotype Dx test, a more expensive and higher TAT for Indian patients.

Our deep collection of matched FFPE blocks and longitudinal RWE data to enable precision medicine tests has continued to grow, both in breast cancer (>10,000 cases), and in #colorectalcancer, #lungcancer, #oralcancer, #kidneycancer, #ovariancancer #glioma #liver cancers.

Sapien receives DPIIT recognition

/0 Comments/in /by

Pleased to get the certificate from #DPIIT. Heartfelt thanks to @Saravjeet Chahal who helped resolve the glitches at #StartUp India website due to CIN number mismatch.

Attention all Telangana startups that were formed in combined AP, before formation of Telangana, like #SapienBio, if you are facing persistent problems getting your application completed on #StartupIndia website, it may be due to your CIN number with AP not getting validated by MCA, and AP getting morphed to TG, which then creates other problems. Suggest contacting Saravjeet who will help. The tollfree call numbers did not. Thank you #nitiayog and @Sanjana Mohanty, @Aastha Grover for helping resolve our 8 month long quest for recognition.
