Cleveland Clinic Recognizes Circulating Tumor Cell Technology as Top Medical Innovation for 2009
Date:11/12/2008

RARITAN, N.J., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Veridex, LLC announced today that the technology used in the CellSearch(R) System to measure circulating tumor cells (CTCs) was ranked as the top medical innovation for 2009 by the Cleveland Clinic, a leading multispecialty academic medical center. The ranking is based on technologies likely to have a significant impact on health care next year.

The prestigious annual recognition follows a rigorous selection process by a panel of Cleveland Clinic physicians. The list was announced today at the Cleveland Clinic's 2008 Innovation Summit.

"We are deeply gratified by this recognition from the Cleveland Clinic," said Robert McCormack, Ph.D., Vice President of Medical and Scientific Affairs, Veridex. "Our entire team is committed to the research and development of this technology, and our goal with the CellSearch(R) test is to provide patients and doctors with reliable and timely information about cancer progression."

CellSearch(R), a proprietary Veridex technology, is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to predict progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic breast, colorectal or prostate cancer. The test can be used at any time during the course of disease for serial monitoring of patients with these types of cancer. The CellSearch(R) System is also available as a diagnostic test in Europe.

The CellSearch(R) System is the first diagnostic test to automate the capture and detection of tumor cells that have detached from solid tumors and entered the patient's blood. With the CellSearch(R) System, it is possible to reproducibly find a single circulating tumor cell among approximately 40 billion blood cells in a 7.5 mL blood sample.
