QCDx Information

The QCDx mission is to deliver sensitive and specific detection of rare cells for precision disease diagnosis. A next generation, world-best liquid biopsy for precision diagnosis of cancer will offer detection and deep characterization of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) for early cancer diagnosis, monitoring of treatment efficacy and surveillance for disease recurrence. The proprietary RareScope™ is designed to analyze intact cell suspensions for sensitive detection of CTC phenotypes from the epithelial to mesenchymal spectrum and characterize for biomarkers related to targeted therapy or immunotherapy. It also offers isolation of detected CTCs for downstream molecular analysis to inform on precision treatment options. It will also analyze ex vivo, the effect of bioactive substances (including cancer drugs) on detected CTCs, to deliver on unmet need for optimal drug selection, before treatment is administered to the patient.
