Avantect

???Today is World Cancer Day??? ? At ClearNote Health, we believe that early detection is key to improving cancer outcomes. Our focus is on high-mortality cancers with limited or no detection options, where early diagnosis can make a life-saving difference. ? Pancreatic cancer, in particular, is often diagnosed too late for effective treatment. The Avantect Pancreatic Cancer Test is a simple, cell-free DNA blood test designed to detect early signals of pancreatic cancer - offering patients a better chance for successful treatment and longer survival. ? While cancer outcomes have improved over the past decade, there is still so much more to do. This #WorldCancerDay, join us in raising awareness. Visit our #PancreaticCancer Educational Blog to learn more about this disease and the impact of early detection. ? ???https://lnkd.in/dHXHKR9z

?? Press Release: ClearNote Health’s Avantect? Multi-Cancer Detection Test Selected as One of Two Noninvasive Blood-Based Technologies for National Cancer Institute (NCI)'s Vanguard Study This critical study will evaluate clinical feasibility of multi-cancer detection screening tests and begin to determine how best to incorporate them into the standard of care. The fact that ClearNote Health's multi-cancer detection test was selected after a rigorous, objective technology benchmark evaluation by the NCI is a huge validation for our company, our proprietary technology platform, our employees, and the patients we serve. The Vanguard Study will showcase the many benefits of early cancer detection, which will help drive widespread adoption of our Avantect technology and ultimately save lives. ??

? A Story About Pancreatic Cancer by Margaret Freitag We've all read in the news and in the scientific literature that the number of pancreatic cancer cases is increasing even though it's not clear what might be behind that. Among my friends and family, I can count seven people who have been affected by pancreatic cancer - sadly only one survives. Some of them had risk factors like Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, or new onset diabetes. In the case of my friends and family, those risk factors were only recognized in hindsight, and unfortunately all were diagnosed in advanced stages. I know what it's like to survive cancer, albeit not pancreatic. I was diagnosed with a rare cancer with an aggressive histology. I know the angst of waiting for the pathology to come back, for the staging to be confirmed; guessing my chances of making it out to other side. Fortunately, I was diagnosed at an early stage. I powered through surgery, chemotherapy and radiation over the course of nine months. I am grateful to celebrate my five-year survivor anniversary this year. My wishes during pancreatic cancer awareness month are that: ? More patients with pancreatic cancer can have the kind of chance that I had; an earlier diagnosis that allows for an increased chance of survival. ? More patients with risk factors for pancreatic cancer like family history, genetic predisposition and early onset diabetes become aware of these risks and the means for early diagnosis. That’s why I’m grateful to ClearNote Health and the dedicated #pancreaticcancer community in their pursuit of the early diagnosis and successful treatment of pancreatic cancer. #pancreaticcancerday ??

ClearNote Health is attending ISPOR—The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research, Nov 17-20, 2024, in Barcelona. ? ClearNote Health’s?Senior Health Economics Consultant,?Adrian Vilalta, PhD, will present findings from a clinico-economic analysis of ClearNote Health’s Avantect Pancreatic Test in a poster entitled “Cell-Free DNA Epigenomic-based Test is Predicted to Be Cost Effective to Manage New-Onset Type 2 Diabetes Patients for Risk of Pancreatic Cancer” (abstract #141003). ? If you are attending the event make sure not to miss his presentation to learn more about how?using the Avantect Pancreatic Cancer Test can be cost effective to manage individuals newly diagnosed with diabetes. #pancreaticcancer

?? Did you know a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes drastically increases the risk for pancreatic cancer? Learn more about the connection between diabetes and #pancreaticcancer in this short article written by the team at Taking Control Of Your Diabetes (TCOYD) Diabetes. Dr. Steve Edelman, nationally recognized expert in diabetes, discusses the often-unknown connection between a new diagnosis of #type2diabetes and an enhanced risk of pancreatic cancer in the first 36 months post diabetes diagnosis. While just over 1% of patients will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, nearly 80% or more of all pancreatic cancer patients have a diabetes diagnosis offering an early sign that can lead to early intervention.? ? ??

ClearNote Health is pleased to partner with Dr. Steve Edelman and the team at Taking Control Of Your Diabetes (TCOYD), a provider and patient advocacy group guided by the belief that every person with diabetes has the right to live a healthy, happy and productive life. TCOYD educates and motivates people to take a more active role in their condition by providing education to both medical professionals and patient communities caring for people with #diabetes.

?? Press Release: Avantect Ovarian Cancer Test Receives CPT Code and Preliminary Payment Determination from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ClearNote Health has today announced the American Medical Association (AMA) has issued a new Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Proprietary Laboratory Analyses (PLA) code for the Avantect Ovarian Cancer Test. Effective October 1, 2024, the new CPT code, 0507U, establishes a reimbursement pathway for increased patient access and broader test adoption. In addition, CMS announced that it has proposed preliminary reimbursement rate determinations?for new and revised CPT codes issued by the American Medical Association (AMA), including 0507U for the Avantect Ovarian Cancer Detection Test. ClearNote Health aligned with CMS on their reimbursement recommendation of $1,160.00. “Receiving a CPT code and CMS preliminary rate recommendation for our Avantect Ovarian Cancer Test represents the second time ClearNote Health has reached a critical commercial and reimbursement milestone for our organization in less than 12 months, and most importantly, expands patient access to the early detection for ovarian cancer,” said Dave Mullarkey, CEO of ClearNote Health. ?? Read the full press release on our website: https://lnkd.in/d-CyXp-d ?? The Avantect test is intended for patients at high risk for ovarian cancer, such as those with a genetic predisposed risk such as BRCA1, BRCA2, a family history of ovarian cancer, or a personal history of breast cancer before age 40.

? New Publication Alert! ? We’re excited that our latest research, titled “Analytical Validation of an Early Detection Pancreatic Cancer Test using 5-Hydroxymethylation Signatures,” has been published in the The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics. ? Following the foundational work by Haan et al. (2023), this publication showcases the rigorous analytical validation of the Avantect Pancreatic Cancer Test. It details key performance metrics, including: > precision > stability > limit of detection (LOD) and compares Avantect to other methylation-based approaches. ? This article underscores Avantect’s reliability and accuracy and adds to the growing evidence that Avantect meets the high-quality standards required for clinical testing. ? ??
