BOULDER, Colo., April 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ArcherDX, Inc., today announced that new data from its research collaboration with UCL and the Francis Crick Institute as part of the Cancer Research UK-funded UCL-sponsored TRACERx study was chosen to be presented by UCL on Tuesday, April 28 at 2:15 p.m. ET during the 2020 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Virtual Annual Meeting. The TRACERx study, a translational research program taking place over nine years, follows patients with lung cancer from diagnosis to either disease relapse or cure after surgery, tracking and analyzing how their cancer develops.

"Clinicians are eager to expand precision oncology into early-stage cancer, when the cancer is typically easier to cure compared to late-stage cancer. Current monitoring methods, such as diagnostic imaging and cancer antigen tests, lack resolution and accuracy needed to monitor early-stage disease. Our technology allows for clinicians to use the assays in local labs and maintain control of the data," said Jason Myers, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, ArcherDX. "This collaboration with UCL and the Francis Crick Institute aims to detect minimal residual disease, earlier by tracking personalized, patient-specific mutations."

As part of an ongoing collaboration, TRACERx1 investigators, led by Professor Charles Swanton, Group Leader, UCL and the Francis Crick Institute, and Dr. Christopher Abbosh, Principal Clinical Fellow, UCL, are utilizing ArcherDX's technology to detect low-volume minimal residual disease at high levels of sensitivity to achieve TRACERx's goal of a more personalized approach to developing cancer treatments.

Oral Presentation Details
The virtual meeting is free and available to anyone by registering at aacr.org.

Presentation Title:

Phylogenetic tracking and minimal residual disease detection using ctDNA in early-stage NSCLC: A lung TRACERx study

Presenter:

Christopher Abbosh, M.D., Principal Clinical Fellow, University College London

Session Title:

Early Detection and ctDNA

Session Date and Time:

Tuesday, April 28 at 2:15 p.m. ET

Abstract Number:

2025

1 *TRACERx (Tracking Cancer Evolution through therapy (Rx)) is the single biggest investment in lung cancer research by Cancer Research UK. We believe the translational programme is the first study to look at the evolution of cancer in real time and immense detail. TRACERx is led by UCL (University College London) via the Cancer Research UK Lung Cancer Centre of Excellence and also supported by the National Institute for Health Research, University College London Hospitals Biomedical Research Centre, Francis Crick Institute and the Rosetrees Trust.

About UCL – London's Global University
UCL is a diverse community with the freedom to challenge and think differently.

Our community of more than 41,500 students from 150 countries and over 12,500 staff pursues academic excellence, breaks boundaries and makes a positive impact on real world problems.

About The Francis Crick Institute
The Francis Crick Institute is a biomedical discovery institute dedicated to understanding the fundamental biology underlying health and disease. Its work is helping to understand why disease develops and to translate discoveries into new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, infections, and neurodegenerative diseases.

An independent organisation, its founding partners are the Medical Research Council (MRC), Cancer Research UK, Wellcome, UCL (University College London), Imperial College London and King's College London.

The Crick was formed in 2015, and in 2016 it moved into a brand new state-of-the-art building in central London which brings together 1500 scientists and support staff working collaboratively across disciplines, making it the biggest biomedical research facility under a single roof in Europe.  http://crick.ac.uk/
