Myriad will share evidence across six poster presentations showcasing the prognostic power of its ultrasensitive MRD assay. Several of the presentations report interim outcomes from the groundbreaking MONSTAR-SCREEN-3 study, led by Dr. Takayuki Yoshino, National Cancer Center Hospital East, Japan. "MONSTAR-SCREEN-3 has demonstrated exceptional performance of Precise MRD across more than a dozen indications," said Dr. Yoshino. "In our presentation, ’Prognostic Impact of MRD Positivity at Ultra-sensitive ctDNA Levels Using a WGS-based Personalized Assay: A Pan-Cancer Analysis from MONSTAR-SCREEN-3,’ we report 97% baseline detection, with 16% of samples detected in the ultrasensitive range. Importantly, patients who were ctDNA-positive at one month post-surgery had significantly worse disease-free survival compared to those who were ctDNA-negative, suggesting that post-surgical ctDNA positivity, including at ultrasensitive levels, is strongly prognostic for recurrence risk."

Other presentations focused on ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, and sarcoma also demonstrate the emerging clinical utility of ctDNA as a biomarker of recurrence and therapy response. "Our findings highlight the clear advantage of a whole-genome, personalized MRD approach in capturing clinically meaningful signals at the lowest ctDNA levels," said Dale Muzzey, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer, Myriad Genetics. "Detecting ctDNA at very low levels consistently across multiple tumor types demonstrates that sensitivity truly matters. Precise MRD may enable a new standard in which ultra-sensitive detection translates directly into earlier, more confident clinical decision-making."

Attendees can meet Dr. Muzzey at the Industry Expert Theater #1 on Sun., May 31 from 9:30 to 10:30 am CDT for an introduction to the Precise MRD Test. The session will cover assay technical details and the clinical evidence across multiple solid tumors, including breast and colorectal cancers, and explore the role of highly sensitive MRD detection in oncology.

About the MONSTAR-SCREEN-3 Study
The MONSTAR-SCREEN-3 is a prospective multicenter study targeting more than 1,100 patients with solid tumors undergoing curative-intent treatment. Personalized panels were constructed using Precise MRD, incorporating up to 1,000 tumor-specific alterations identified through WGS of matched tumor tissue. Serial plasma samples were collected at baseline, post-neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) (when applicable), 1-month (1M) post-surgery, every 3 months in year 1, and every 6 months thereafter up to 2 years. Assay performance was evaluated across multiple cancer types for ctDNA detection and recurrence monitoring.

About Precise MRD
The Precise MRD test provides molecular insights across the cancer care continuum. After diagnosis, the test can help clinicians determine if adjuvant treatment is needed, or if cancer has recurred. Should cancer metastasize in a patient, Precise MRD can provide molecular insights showing whether treatment is working or if a patient’s ctDNA is increasing. For baseline tests, a personalized panel is developed based on a whole-genome sequencing profile of tumor tissue, and then the panel is used to measure the ctDNA level from an initial blood draw. For ongoing monitoring, the panel measures ctDNA levels from samples collected with a frequency based on where patients are in the treatment process. Clinicians will receive an easy-to-read report that shows whether ctDNA was detected or not. If ctDNA is detected, the concentration of ctDNA is reported, which allows clinicians to see historical results of the patient’s ctDNA concentration over time.

"Since our last quarterly update, we achieved a significant milestone for our company and for the GLIX1 development program with the dosing of the first patient in our Phase 1/2a clinical trial of GLIX1 in glioblastoma," stated Philip Serlin, Chief Executive Officer of BioLineRx. "We are also very encouraged by compelling new pre-clinical data showing that GLIX1 demonstrated robust dose-dependent tumor-growth inhibition and survival benefit in orthotopic cell-derived xenograft (CDX) GBM models. Furthermore, in a newly completed subcutaneous TMZ-resistant patient-derived xenograft (PDX) GBM model, GLIX1 demonstrated a robust anti-tumor effect while no effect was observed with TMZ, highlighting the potential to address the very high unmet need in GBM."

"In the coming days, we look forward to engaging with the broader oncology community at this year’s ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) meeting with two abstracts featuring GLIX1. The abstracts highlight its novel mechanism of action and provide strong rationale for the development of GLIX1 in GBM as well as in other cancers. They also highlight that in safety studies in animals GLIX1 was safe up to the highest feasible doses tested, supporting the combination with other anti-cancer agents. Furthermore, the abstracts highlight the compelling mechanistic rationale for combining GLIX1 with PARP inhibitors supported by synergistic effect in cell lines across diverse cancers including from tumor types typically less responsive to PARP inhibition."

Financial Updates

With $17.4 million on its balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, BioLineRx is maintaining its cash runway guidance into the first half of 2027.
