Veracyte Says New Data To Be Presented At ASTRO 2021; Co Says Data Further Validate Clinical Utility Of Veracyte's Decipher Prostate Genomic Classifier

Veracyte, Inc. (NASDAQ:VCYT) announced that new data further validating the clinical utility of the company's Decipher Prostate genomic test will be presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting 2021 taking place October 24-27, 2021, in Chicago.

In two, separate oral presentations, investigators will share findings from studies that assessed the Decipher Prostate test in multiple, large Phase 3 randomized trials. The studies evaluated the test's utility in patients with newly diagnosed, clinically high-risk prostate cancer receiving definitive radiotherapy as well as among patients experiencing biochemical disease progression following radical prostatectomy.

"The Decipher Prostate data that will be shared at this year's ASTRO meeting provide exciting new evidence that the test could positively and profoundly impact shared decision-making,resulting in individualized treatment decisions in both the post-biopsy and post-prostatectomy prostate cancer settings," said Tina Nova, Ph.D., Veracyte's general manager, Thyroid and Urologic Cancers.

Following are details of the abstract presentations:
