• CDX Prostate is a blood-based diagnostic tool that uses AI-powered learning to determine the risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
• Florida-based Protean BioDiagnostics will now offer the validated CDX Prostate risk score to healthcare providers and their patients suspected of having aggressive prostate cancer.

EDMONTON, Alberta: #CDX_Prostate--Nanostics Inc., a precision health company developing diagnostic tests with its ClarityDX® platform technology, and Protean BioDiagnostics Inc. (Protean) today announced their partnership to provide CDX Prostate in the United States.

CDX Prostate uses biological data, clinical information, and AI-powered learning models to generate a risk score for aggressive prostate cancer, marking a significant advancement in prostate cancer screening. It provides critical support to men and their healthcare providers in making more informed decisions about whether to proceed with a biopsy following a high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test result or an abnormal Digital Rectal Exam (DRE).

“This agreement with Protean is a huge milestone for Nanostics – we can now provide CDX Prostate to men in the US,” said Dr. John Lewis, CEO of Nanostics and Bird Dogs Chair of Translational Oncology at the University of Alberta. “When used as a reflex test, CDX Prostate is a powerful tool to help identify men with aggressive prostate cancer sooner, leading to better outcomes while also minimizing the negative effects associated with overdiagnosis of the disease.”

"At Protean, we are dedicated to providing access to the best-in-class precision medicine solutions," said Dr. Anthony Magliocco, CEO of Protean BioDiagnostics. "We are excited to be able to provide CDX Prostate as part of our cancer screening program".
