Demand for digital pathology, which shifts the standard of cancer research and diagnosis from microscope to digital image, is rising to tap into the full potential of pathology data. Proscia has established itself as the sole player driving this complete modernization across both life sciences organizations and diagnostic laboratories. Its Concentriq platform combines enterprise scalability with a broad portfolio of AI applications to accelerate breakthroughs and unlock clinical insights that advance precision medicine.

"Proscia is uniquely positioned to enable a new frontier of patient care," said Jacob Doft, CEO of Highline Capital Management. "Digital pathology is a critical catalyst in the acceleration of precision medicine, creating a wealth of new data that is driving novel therapies and optimizing diagnosis so that each patient receives the most individualized treatment. We are excited to be a part of Proscia’s journey as it expands its leadership position with its AI-enabled platform."

Proscia’s user base includes 10 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies as well as the Joint Pathology Center, which selected Concentriq to digitize the world’s largest human tissue repository of over 55 million slides. Leading reference laboratories and health systems, including LabPON, the first laboratory to reach 100% digital diagnosis, also rely on Concentriq.

"Pathology deserves the same revolutionary technology that has transformed the rest of medicine and our lives," said David West, Proscia’s CEO. "Our Series C will enable us to continue delivering this innovation to the scientists and pathologists who are using it to improve patient outcomes. We are thrilled to partner with incredible investors who believe deeply in our mission as we take the next step in our journey."

The financing will enable Proscia to accelerate adoption of computational pathology, strengthening its market and product leadership. It will use the infusion of capital to scale its commercial operations. This includes expanding its sales, marketing, and support teams as well as growing distribution partnerships following its recent OEM agreement with Siemens Healthineers. Proscia will also increasingly focus on its regulatory strategy on the heels of its CE IVDR certification.

To continue offering the widest variety of AI applications on a single pathology platform, Proscia will invest in broadening its own portfolio of computational solutions and introduce a growing number of third-party applications onto Concentriq. It will build on the success of its DermAI and AI breakthrough in melanoma detection as well as extend digital pathology’s first suite of process automation solutions beyond Automated QC.

"Pathology is a multi-billion dollar market transitioning to digital," said Steve Holloway, Executive Director at Signify Research. "Adoption has moved beyond the largest life sciences organizations and medical centers as the benefits have become increasingly clear, much like we saw when the digitization of radiology crossed an inflection point."

Today’s announcement comes as demand for AI-enabled pathology continues to grow. By breaking free from the limitations of glass slides, research organizations and diagnostic laboratories are overcoming a range of systemic challenges intensified by the rising cancer burden; drug development timelines average 12 years before patients gain access to new therapies, and the number of cancer cases is expected to rise 47% by 2040, putting added burden on a shrinking pathologist population. It is estimated that one billion slides will be digitized each year, fundamentally transforming the way we diagnose and treat patients in fulfilling the promise of precision care.

For decades, patients have faced a one-size-fits-all approach to their health. They are now calling for more prompt, personalized care. With this partnership, HALO Diagnostics and GTC are ready to answer this call.

Recent therapeutic approvals in HALO Diagnostics’ core clinical areas such as prostate, breast, and lung cancers have focused on targeted therapies and immunotherapies. Before treatment can begin, patients undergo biomarker testing. This is where GTC comes in: The company’s comprehensive test panels simultaneously query key DNA / RNA alterations, guiding decision making for patients’ treatment plans.

"By bringing together advanced imaging and molecular biomarkers, HALO Diagnostics and GTC will have a unique impact on driving early detection in healthcare," says Dr. John Feller, Chief Medical Officer at HALO Diagnostics. "We will reduce oversights common in individual diagnostic tests, making early detection, minimally invasive therapies, and precision-focused healthcare possible."

Dr. Maher Albitar, GTC’s Founder, CEO, and Chief Medical Officer, agrees. "Combining imaging with molecular profiling is not only a natural expansion in medical diagnostics, but also provides a unique opportunity for innovation in the era of artificial intelligence." He adds, "We are very excited to be working with HALO Diagnostics. This collaboration will save patient lives and accelerate the development of key radiogenomic biomarkers."

With this partnership, the innovation is just beginning.

GTC recently showcased Liquid Trace, its latest liquid biopsy test that combines cell-free DNA and cell-free RNA to improve the test’s sensitivity for diagnosing solid tumours and blood-related cancers, at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper)’s annual meeting from June 3-7, 2022. The Liquid Trace test is now available to HALO Diagnostics’ patients indicated for this precision-focused approach.
