PredimiR

Kit for predicting and monitoring response to treatment in ovarian cancer
Technology No.

This technology has been patented since 2018, extended in Australia, Canada , China, Europe, Japan and USA.

Description

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in women worldwide. Ovarian cancer recurrence is difficult to predict and acquisition of resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy is responsible for a low survival rate at five years (<30%). This situation should change with the emergence of targeted therapies, which have proved particularly effective. However, clinicians lack the clinical tools to predict and monitor the efficacy of both conventional and innovative treatments. 

The PredimiR technology offers a novel approach by providing a non-invasive blood test based on the estimation of serum miRNA-622 concentration using a RT-qPCR-based method that is simple, fast, cost-effective and easy to implement routinely in most clinical biology laboratories. This clinically validated technology enables prediction and monitoring of response to platinum-based chemotherapy and/or PARP inhibitors, in order to personalize therapies used in the management of ovarian carcinomas, whether during initial treatment, follow-up or relapse.

The test has been extensively validated on several clinical cohorts at baseline and after relapse.
