Urinary Circulating Free DNA Platform for Diagnosis and Cancer Treatment Monitoring

Presenter: Mark Erlander, Ph.D., Trovagene, Inc.

Highlights:

·                  Urine has been shown to be a viable specimen type for cancer monitoring using liquid biopsy and offers a unique ability to track tumor dynamics

·                  Several novel uses with Trovagene’s PCM platform include the ability to determine minimal residual disease after surgery, determine early response to newly initiated therapy, monitor driver mutations, monitor for resistance mutations that emerge over time, and act as an alternative to tissue biopsy

·                  Data show that Trovagene’s highly sensitive, quantitative, and non-invasive assays can be used to determine the induction of tumor apoptosis and response to therapy within the first week of treatment
