CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Exosome Diagnostics, Inc., the developer of a revolutionary liquid biopsy platform that enables non-invasive detection of clinical biomarkers, potentially obviating the need for tissue biopsy, today announced the launch of ExoDx™ Lung(ALK), the world’s first liquid biopsy test designed to isolate and analyze exosomal RNA (exoRNA) from a blood sample. ExoDx Lung(ALK), which has been validated in Exosome Diagnostics’ CLIA certified laboratory, is a plasma-based diagnostic enabling sensitive, accurate and real-time detection of EML4-ALK mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Exosome Diagnostic’s proprietary platform for the isolation of RNA from exosomes provides a more direct and sensitive method of detecting fusions such as EML4-ALK, compared to cell free DNA (cfDNA) alone.
