The study, Development and validation of an AI-enabled prediction of prostate cancer (PCa) using urine-based liquid biopsy (Abstract #3080), is the first to clinically validate PanGIA’s novel approach—pairing proprietary chemistry with machine learning to detect cancer-specific biosignatures from a single, non-invasive urine sample.
"This study confirms what we’ve believed from the start: there’s power in non-invasive, data-driven diagnostics," said Holly Magliochetti, CEO of PanGIA Biotech. "Our platform helps clinicians detect prostate cancer when intervention is most effective—without costly or invasive procedures."
Key findings presented included:
Study Cohort: 197 biopsy-confirmed prostate cancer patients and 84 healthy controls.
Classifier Performance: Achieved an F1 score of 0.843 with a recall of 0.967 in distinguishing cancer from non-cancer subjects.
Gleason Score Cohorts: Maintained high recall (>0.89) across Gleason scores 6 through 10, with F1 scores ranging from 0.799 to 0.838.
Non-Invasive Advantage: Demonstrated strong performance in detecting intermediate- and low-grade cancers, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional diagnostics.
Unlike invasive biopsies or blood-based tests that often miss early-stage cases, PanGIA’s approach analyzes urinary biosignatures using proprietary AI models—eliminating the need for sequencing and enabling cost-effective, globally scalable testing.
Previously published in The Analyst, a journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry¹, the PanGIA platform is designed for diverse healthcare environments and holds promise for broad global adoption.
