Study Results from Biodesix’s Immunotherapy Test Will Be Presented by Dr. Jeffrey Weber

Proteomic Test Identifies Sensitivity and Resistance to Immunotherapy in Cancer Patients

Dr. Jeffery Weber will present data from a collaboration in which proteomic tests developed by Biodesix^® could help guide therapy choices in immuno-oncology. These blood-based tests, which were developed on Biodesix’s proprietary Diagnostic Cortex™ platform, may identify patients who derive significant benefit from anti-PD-1 monotherapy and might not gain additional benefit from the addition of anti-CTLA-4 agents. Dr. Weber will make his presentation at the 4^th Immunotherapy of Cancer Conference in Europe (ITOC4).

Session Title: Proteomic Test Identifies Sensitivity and Resistance to Immunotherapy in Cancer Patients

Plenary Session Date/Time: Tuesday March 21, 4:50PM

Location:  Prague Congress Center, 5 Kvetna 65, Prague, Czech Republic
