Immunovia shared results from the model development study of its next-generation test to detect stage 1 and 2 pancreatic cancer. The company disclosed its method for selecting the biomarkers that comprise the test, the construction of the test algorithm, and the test's performance and stability. In the study of 623 patient samples, the test demonstrated superior performance, with sensitivity of 85% and specificity of 98%, as reported in a 1 August 2024 press release.

This special conference brings together leading pancreatic cancer researchers, physicians, and patient advocates to share innovative approaches for diagnosing and treating pancreatic cancer.

"We are grateful to have been selected by the AACR reviewers to present the model-development-study results at this inspiring conference of pancreatic cancer advances.
