Early Cancer Detection (liquid biopsy, ctDNA, cfDNA)

TR-2026-04-24-001 / PMID 42024827 · Canine Olfaction + Bayesian Modeling for Multicancer Detection From Breath · 9/10 → Phase II multicenter study (n=1,502) in India: 90.8% sensitivity, 91.3% specificity, AUC 0.962 across 7 cancer types; stage I-II sensitivity 90.6% — a novel, ultra-low-cost early-detection triage approach for LMICs. J Clin Oncol.

TR-2026-04-24-002 / PMID 42025761 · COCA: Colorectal Cancer Detection via Non-Contrast CT + Deep Learning · 8/10 → Multicenter international validation (n=2,053) plus 2 real-world consecutive-patient cohorts (n=27,433): AUC 0.967–0.996, 88.2–86.6% real-world sensitivity, 99.5–99.8% specificity; improved radiologist sensitivity by 20.4%. Ann Oncol.

Hematologic Malignancies

TR-2026-04-24-003 / PMID 42026180 · ASC4OPT: Asciminib Dose Optimization in CML-CP After ≥2 TKIs · 8/10 → Phase 3b study (NCT04948333, n=169): MMR rate 39.4% at Week 48, 43.6% at Week 96; dose escalation to 200mg QD achieves 17.5% additional MMR; supports asciminib as standard of care in 3rd-line+ CML-CP.
