TrovaGene, Inc.'s Urine-Based HPV Assay To Be Featured In Presentation At The 13th Annual Cervical Cancer Conference And HPV Consortium In Beijing

SAN DIEGO, April 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Trovagene, Inc., (NASDAQ:  TROV) a developer of cell-free molecular diagnostics, announced today that study investigator, John Cuzick, Ph.D., will present clinical results from the PREDICTORS 4 study featuring the Company's urine-based HPV assay and its ability to determine high risk HPV types in women using non-invasive urine samples. The study results will be presented during the Keynote Lecture for the Preventive Research Session at the National Cervical Cancer Consortium and Symposium of HPV Vaccine and Cervical Cancer Prevention's 13th Annual Meeting in Beijing. Dr. Cuzick, director of the Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine at Queen Mary University of London, will present the study results at 1:30 p.m. CST on April 25.

Within the PREDICTORS 4 study, urine and cervical samples were collected from 501 women, and data from this large patient subset demonstrated that sensitivity with Trovagene's HPV assay for cervical samples was comparable to established cervical screening tests. Sensitivity for urine samples was 91.4% for CIN Grade 3+ and 89.0% for CIN Grade 2+. Furthermore, detection of high risk HPV in urine was not different from cervical samples for all age groups of women in the study (18-29 yrs, 30-39 yrs and 40-69 yrs).
