Data from the abstract titled, The Impact of Plasma Proteomics Biomarker on Clinical Management Decision in Lung Nodules, presented by Dr. J. P. Uribe of Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, United States, will highlight data that show the impact of the Nodify XL2 integrated proteomic classifier on management decisions in a "real world" clinical setting. Conclusions show that when used in patients with lung nodules with a nodule probability of malignancy (pCA) of ≤ 50%, the blood-based lung nodule risk assessment test was able to support a decrease in chest imaging, outpatient clinic visits and additional invasive procedures without misclassifying benign lung nodules.
An additional presentation titled, ALTITUDE trial design: A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial, Prospectively Evaluating the Clinical Utility of the Nodify XL2 Proteomic Classifier in Incidentally Discovered Low to Moderate Risk Lung Nodules, will review the ALTITUDE study, a first-in-class biomarker study which aligned with the recommendations from the official 2018 American Thoracic Society (ATS) policy statement on the early detection of lung cancer. The abstract, authored by Michael N. Kammer, Ph.D. of Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, Steve Springmeyer, MD, Biodesix, Boulder, Colorado and Gerard Silvestri, MD of Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina will be presented at ATS by Dr. Michael Kammer.
Both poster presentations will occur during ATS discussion Session B30 – THE QUEST FOR THE HOLY GRAIL: MODELING AND BIOMARKERS FOR NODULES AND LUNG CANCER. The session, moderated by Edwin Ostrin, MD, PhD. from MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas and Adam Fox, MD, from Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, will occur at the ATS meeting on May 16th, 2022, from 9:30-11:00AM PT, Room 203-204 (South Building, Level 2), Moscone Center.
