Details of the poster presentation are as follow:

Poster Session: Developmental Therapeutics—Immunotherapy

Session Date and Time: Saturday June 1, 2024, 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM CDT

Poster Board Number: 110

Abstract Presentation Number: 2631

"We look forward to sharing our important work that for the first time describes a promising biomarker signature with the potential to predict response to the immunotherapy atezolizumab and bevacizumab in patients with aHCC," said Dr Sarker. "An important characteristic of the study is that the biomarkers have been derived from real-world Tru-Cut biopsies taken at diagnosis providing confidence in their potential clinical utility."

"This collaborative effort, drawing on multidisciplinary expertise and rich clinical proteomic data demonstrates the predictive power of the KScan® diagnostic platform," said Tim Fell PhD, Executive Chair of Kinomica. "We look forward to extending this collaborative research to determine predictive biomarkers to other approved aHCC therapies and the creation of a multi-drug diagnostic to aid therapy selection."

Kinomica will be attending ASCO. Please contact us to request a meeting.
