NeoGenomics announced RaDaR ST, a highly sensitive ctDNA assay utilizing tumor-informed panels to detect molecular residual disease and early recurrence in various cancers, validated through extensive clinical data.
RaDaR ST uses patient-specific, tumor-informed panels to detect trace amounts of tumor DNA in blood, often before recurrence is visible on imaging. The assay combines whole-exome sequencing with advanced bioinformatics to track up to 48 tumor-specific variants with a limit of detection at 95% probability (LOD95) of 11 ppm, offering high sensitivity and specificity.
Validated through a large and growing body of clinical and real-world data, including studies in breast and HPV-negative head and neck cancers, RaDaR ST shows utility for earlier detection of recurrence, identification of patients with persistent molecular disease, and long-term surveillance in high-risk populations. The assay is approved by Medicare for initial launch indications, with two additional indications submitted for reimbursement.
