Disruptive and high accuracy test for early colorectal cancer detection in blood
AMADIX aims to enhance early colorectal cancer detection through a novel blood test, PreveCol, integrating advanced biomarkers and AI-driven risk prediction, targeting commercialization by 2032.
Projectdetails
Introduction
AMADIX is a leading molecular diagnostics company, led by Rocío Arroyo, focused on liquid biopsy, developing innovative diagnostic tests for early cancer detection in blood.
Background on Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Most of these cancers and deaths could have been prevented by increasing the use of recommended screening tests that detect premalignant lesions, called advanced adenomas.
Current Screening Methods
Colonoscopy is the gold standard screening method, although it is an invasive and expensive procedure.
Previous Developments
AMADIX has previously developed an innovative blood-based test for CRC diagnosis (ColoFast), based on an initial combination of cutting-edge biomarkers (micro-RNAs) and validated in over 1,000 samples.
Target Population
- Indicated to screen healthy populations from 50 to 85 years old.
- Has shown superior performance in early cancer detection compared to any of the tests commercialized.
- Demonstrates better compliance and cost-effectiveness.
Ongoing Validation
The test is currently being validated in a European prospective study with 3,100 patients (recruitment concluded), granted by SME Phase 2 with €2.8M.
Future Developments
AMADIX has identified new promising biomarkers to be incorporated into the initial signature to improve diagnostic performance.
Use of Technology
AMADIX has taken advantage of the potential of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data to identify CRC risk factors from patients’ clinical records and develop diagnostic prediction models.
Goals
Our goal is to validate this new signature, PreveCol, which is expected to be more accurate than the initial combination, based on different types of biomarkers. This will be followed by its commercialization as LDT and as an IVD kit.
Risk Factors Algorithm
In addition, a risk factors-based algorithm will be incorporated, enabling the prediction and identification of individuals with a high risk of developing CRC or premalignant polyps, even if they are younger than 50 years old, consequently improving their survival.
Financial Projections
AMADIX expects to reach accumulated revenues of €1,997M from the commercialization of PreveCol in Europe and the USA between 2023 and 2032.
