Second peer-reviewed publication represents a
major milestone that is expected to support continued RosettaGX
Reveal momentum
Rosetta Genomics Ltd. (NASDAQ:ROSG), a leading developer and
provider of microRNA-based and other molecular diagnostics,
announces that a clinical validation study in support of RosettaGX
Reveal™ (Reveal), the Company’s first-of-its-kind microRNA
classifier for indeterminate thyroid nodules, has been published in
the Journal of Clinical Pathology. The article, entitled
“Multicenter Validation of a MicroRNA-based Assay for Diagnosing
Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules Utilizing Fine Needle Aspirate
Smears,” is available online here.
Thyroid nodules are very common and most are benign, with only a
5% risk of being malignant. In order to make a diagnosis, a thyroid
fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy is performed. In most cases,
the cytopathologist is able to determine if the nodule is benign or
malignant. Unfortunately, approximately 10-40% of the Fine Needle
Aspirates (FNA) are categorized as indeterminate.1 This leads to
many unnecessary surgeries. The RosettaGX Reveal miRNA Classifier
can help to significantly reduce the number of unnecessary
surgeries. The publication of data for the Reveal assay in the
Journal of Clinical Pathology supports its use as a tool in the
diagnosis of indeterminate thyroid nodules and highlights its
ability to analyze the same thyroid cells on which the
indeterminate diagnosis was based. With a market-leading 99%
negative predictive value, this unique assay will help reduce the
number of unnecessary surgeries.
“In addition to this clinical validation study, data from an
analytical validation study published in the May 2016 edition of
Cancer Cytopathology and highlighted on the cover of the journal
this month, demonstrate the robustness of our Reveal assay under
various laboratory conditions. Together, these two publications
support our efforts to grow demand for Reveal as well as to secure
additional reimbursement. In addition, this publication well
positions us competitively as one of two companies to have a
peer-reviewed publication of a blinded, clinical validation study
for their currently marketed molecular classifier,” stated Kenneth
A. Berlin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rosetta
Genomics.
“Following the publication in Cancer Cytopathology, we saw a
significant increase in demand for Reveal that has continued to
result in strong gross billings. Commercial demand for Reveal
increased more than 50% from July to August, and more than 60% from
August to September. We believe that publication of this data
demonstrating Reveal’s ability to classify indeterminate thyroid
nodules with its market leading 99% negative predictive value will
support and enhance our stated goal to process more than 200 Reveal
samples per month by the end of this year,” added Mr. Berlin.
About Rosetta Genomics
Rosetta develops and commercializes a full range of
microRNA-based and other molecular diagnostics. Rosetta’s
integrative research platform combining bioinformatics and
state-of-the-art laboratory processes has led to the discovery of
hundreds of biologically validated novel human microRNAs. Building
on its strong patent position and proprietary platform
technologies, Rosetta is working on the application of these
technologies in the development and commercialization of a full
range of microRNA-based diagnostic tools. Through the acquisition
of PersonalizeDx, the Company now offers core FISH, IHC and
PCR-based testing capabilities and partnerships in Pathology,
Oncology and Urology that provide additional content and platforms
that complement Rosetta’s microRNA and Next-Gen Sequencing
offerings. RosettaGX Reveal™, a Thyroid microRNA Classifier for the
diagnosis of indeterminate thyroid FNA smears, as well as the full
RosettaGX™ portfolio of cancer testing services are commercially
available through the Company’s Philadelphia, PA- and Lake Forest,
CA-based CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified labs. For more information
