(NYSE MKT: BTX), and its subsidiary OncoCyte Corporation today announced that OncoCyte’s collaborators at The Wistar Institute have completed enrollment of a large, multi-site study evaluating a blood-based lung cancer diagnostic test. OncoCyte previously entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement and a Material Transfer Agreement with The Wistar Institute to collaboratively develop lung cancer diagnostic products approximately one year ago. As part of the clinical study, over 600 blood samples were obtained from patients with a high-risk profile for development of lung cancer at six clinical sites.
