- Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a leading target for next-generation prostate cancer therapies, with one FDA-approved drug and 30 in development.
- Quantitative PSMA-PET imaging is required to determine patient eligibility for the first FDA-approved PSMA-targeted drug and is an inclusion criterion for ongoing trials.
BOSTON, Sept. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pressed Biosciences, a company impacting the development and use of precision medicines through its comprehensive, first-in-class liquid biopsy platform, today shared the company’s scientific poster presentation from the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology Annual Meeting, taking place September 13-17, 2024 in Barcelona, Spain.

“These data highlight the potential of comprehensive genomic profiling to provide a non-invasive, clinically accessible alternative to tumor PSMA expression in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer,” said Jacob E. Pershock, MD, assistant professor in the Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology at the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University. “Because PSMA-PET is not equitably available throughout the United States and around the world, assessing tumor PSMA expression from blood could enable optimal patient identification for approved and many emerging PSMA-targeted drugs.”
“These promising data highlight the potential of the Precede Bio platform to solve important targets with a simple blood draw,” said Carl Barrett, Chief Science Officer at Precede Bio. “PSMA is the first target for the next wave of precision medicine for prostate cancer, and these data support the promise of our platform to inform treatment selection in this context. We look forward to continuing to work with academics and leading drug developers to advance this important work, while continuing our work on other high-value targets, such as DLL3 and STEAP1, all with the goal of informing treatment selection of drugs against these targets from the same 1 mL of plasma.”
