IMAC Holdings Introduces Ignite Proteomics: A New Standard for Matching Patients with the Right Cancer Therapies
27 Janvier 2025 - 10:10PM
IMAC Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BACK) (“IMAC Holdings” or the
“Company”) has launched Ignite Proteomics LLC (“Ignite”), its new
subsidiary dedicated to helping doctors select the most effective
cancer treatments based on protein-level insights. This move
addresses a growing need for better, faster ways to personalize
therapy in breast cancer and beyond.
Why Proteins Matter – Beyond Genomics
Although genomics (gene-based) testing has
become common, patients and providers find it has not fully
delivered on the promise of personalized care. One reason is that
genetics only reveal potential – the blueprint of the disease –
while proteins show what is happening inside cancer cells right
now. Ignite is poised to disrupt the multi-billion-dollar genomic
testing market. The available market in the test’s current
clinically approved indication is $600M.
Proteins drive cell behavior and are the direct
targets of many new cancer drugs, especially antibody-drug
conjugates (ADCs) and immunotherapies. Without measuring key
proteins, standard genomic tests can miss crucial signals that
predict how a tumor will respond – or fail to respond – to
treatment.
Ignite’s multi-protein test addresses this gap.
By measuring a range of proteins in a single sample, it offers a
richer view of a tumor’s activity and vulnerability to specific
therapies. Several of the assay’s important novel biomarkers are
protected by licensed patents, ensuring a unique platform for
guiding advanced treatment choices.
“Gene tests alone don’t tell us enough about how
to pick the right therapies,” said Faith Zaslavsky, CEO of IMAC
Holdings and Ignite Proteomics. “Proteins are what guide a cancer’s
behavior and drug response. Our test focuses on these real-time
signals, so doctors can better select complex treatments right from
the start.”
A Better Approach to Modern Cancer
Treatments
Today’s advanced therapies—from new ADCs to
immunotherapies—are more complex than traditional chemo. Standard
“one-marker” tests often fail to identify which patients can truly
benefit. Ignite’s test reviews multiple critical proteins at once,
helping physicians:
- Spot lower levels of drug targets
that standard methods might overlook.
- Determine whether an immunotherapy
is likely to work—or if a patient would do better with another
option.
- Avoid the costly and time-consuming
trial-and-error approach that can delay effective treatment.
Looking Ahead: Partnerships &
Growth
- Active Collaborations: Ignite is
working with leading cancer centers to expand clinical evidence and
incorporate its test into more routine care.
- Expanding Impact: The test’s
ability to measure what genes alone cannot detect is expected to
fill a major gap in personalized oncology.
- Focus on ADCs & Immunotherapy:
With more complex drugs rolling out each year, physicians need
deeper insights into a tumor’s real-time behavior—and that is
exactly where Ignite’s protein-level approach excels.
- Standard of care: Ignite’s protein
analysis has generated and is expanding clinical data needed to be
included in treatment guidelines for breast cancer.
