Clinical utility of ConfirmMDx for prostate cancer in a community urology practice
Summary: Investigators evaluated the impact of ConfirmMDx on management of patients being considered for repeat prostate biopsy and found that ConfirmMDx had a significant impact on the decision-making in a U.S. community urology setting. This clinical utility study found that repeat biopsy rates in ConfirmMDx positive patients were six-fold higher than in ConfirmMDx negatives.

MP24-04 - A 2-gene mRNA urine test for detection of high-grade prostate cancer prior to initial prostate biopsy
Summary: This study was conducted to ensure the generalizability of SelectMDx, a 2-gene, urine-based molecular test that combines mRNA biomarkers with clinical factos to risk stratify patients for high-grade prostate cancer. Investigators found SelectMDx demonstrated high sensitivity and negative predictive value for detection of prostate cancer, which supported the use of SelectMDx to help guide initial prostate biopsy decision.
