Veracyte Announces that Nine Studies Reinforcing the Value of Decipher Prostate and Decipher Bladder Testing Will Be Presented at AUA 2024

Veracyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCYT), a leading cancer diagnostics company, today announced that nine abstracts focused on its Decipher Prostate and Decipher Bladder Genomic Classifiers will be presented at AUA 2024, the annual meeting of the American Urological Association, taking place May 3-6 in San Antonio. Studies to be presented include those that evaluate the clinical utility of the company’s Decipher tests in guiding treatment decisions for patients with prostate or bladder cancer. Other presentations will explore new insights into these cancers’ underlying biology, which researchers derived through use of Veracyte’s whole-transcriptome-based Decipher GRID research tool.

“The data being presented at AUA 2024 expands the extensive clinical evidence supporting our Decipher Prostate and Decipher Bladder tests,” said Elai Davicioni, Ph.D., Veracyte’s medical director for Urology. “They also highlight Veracyte’s commitment to collaborating with leading researchers to help understand the biological underpinnings of urologic cancers and advance the science around the disease areas we serve.”

The following abstracts will be presented in the Henry B. González Convention Center:

About Decipher Prostate

The Decipher Prostate Genomic Classifier is a 22-gene test, developed using RNA whole-transcriptome analysis and machine learning, that helps inform treatment decisions for patients with prostate cancer. The test is performed on biopsy or surgically resected samples and provides an accurate risk of developing metastasis with standard treatment. Armed with this information, the physician can better personalize their patients’ care and may recommend less-intensive options for those at lower risk or earlier, more-intensive treatment for those at higher risk of metastasis. The Decipher Prostate test has been validated in more than 75 studies involving more than 100,000 patients. More information about the Decipher Prostate test can be found here.

About Decipher Bladder

The Decipher Bladder Genomic Classifier is a 219-gene test, developed using RNA whole-transcriptome analysis and machine learning, that is designed for use in patients following bladder cancer diagnosis who face questions regarding treatment intensity. The test classifies bladder tumors into five molecular subtypes, each having distinct tumor biology and potential clinical implications. This information can help physicians and their patients better understand the degree of benefit that would likely be gained from neoadjuvant chemotherapy and/or the likelihood of harboring non-organ-confined disease at time of surgery, respectively. More information about the Decipher Bladder test can be found here.

About Decipher GRID

The Decipher GRID database includes more than 200,000 whole-transcriptome profiles from patients with urologic cancers and is used by Veracyte and its partners to contribute to continued research and help advance understanding of prostate and other urologic cancers. GRID-derived information is available on a Research Use Only basis. More Information about Decipher GRID can be found here.
