GRAIL Announces Collaborations with Amgen, AstraZeneca, and Bristol Myers Squibb to Evaluate Cancer Early Detection Technology for Minimal Residual Disease
GRAIL today announced a collaboration with global biopharmaceutical companies Amgen, AstraZeneca, and Bristol Myers Squibb to evaluate GRAIL’s methylation-based technology for the detection of minimal residual disease (MRD). Cancer MRD testing is used in clinical and research applications to detect the presence or absence of residual disease. Many MRD tests available today for solid tumors require tissue samples and development of patient-specific assays, which can result in potential delay in treatment decisions. GRAIL’s targeted methylation platform could enable a blood-based MRD detection assay for solid tumors...
