Leading Healthcare Institutions Adopt MSK-ACCESS® for Liquid Biopsy Testing




BOSTON, MA and ROLLE, Switzerland, Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SOPHiA GENETICS (Nasdaq: SOPH), a pioneer in AI healthcare technology and a leader in data-driven medicine, announced a new milestone in the global adoption of its groundbreaking cancer testing applications MSK-ACCESS® powered with SOPHiA DDM™ and MSK-IMPACT® powered with SOPHiA DDM™. Thirty-seven prominent institutions, including top researchers and key opinion leaders worldwide, have already adopted the recently launched Liquid Biopsy and Solid Tumor applications.

Professor Umberto Malapelle, Chair of the Predictive Molecular Pathology Laboratory at the Department of Public Health of the University Federico II of Naples, Italy and the Scientific Secretary of the International Society of Liquid Biopsy, championed the new applications to support his research on lung and other cancers.

"When I learned SOPHiA GENETICS was offering applications from MSK on the SOPHiA DDM™ platform, I was really interested in the evaluation of the performance of this test, in particular because I see SOPHiA GENETICS as true collaborators to help pave the way for the future of cancer research," said Professor Malapelle.

"Bringing best-in-class technology to global organizations is crucial to help advance better health care for all. We are proud to work with trailblazers like Professor Malapelle, who are utilizing our technology and the collective power of our network to make strides in the next wave of cancer care," said Ross Muken, President, SOPHiA GENETICS.

Of the thirty-seven institutions adopting MSK solutions, thirty-four have signed on to adopt MSK-ACCESS® powered with SOPHiA DDM™, just ten months after the Liquid Biopsy application's launch. The decentralized deployment of MSK-ACCESS® has enabled hospitals and labs across the globe to launch world-renowned Liquid Biopsy testing from within the walls of their own institution, providing patients with a less-invasive option for genomic testing. In many cases, this decentralized testing also results in lower costs and faster turnaround times, while also enabling institutions to retain control of their patients' data for research or other purposes.

Internationally recognized organizations adopting the application include: Heidelberg University Hospital in Germany; Biopticka Laboratory in the Czech Republic; Hospital del Mar and Hospital La Fe in Spain; University Hospital of Nice and Marseille Regional Hospital Center in France; and Jewish General Hospital in Canada.

The complementary solid tumor application, MSK-IMPACT® powered with SOPHiA DDM™, has also attracted significant interest from leading organizations across the globe, including: the Jiménez Díaz Foundation University Hospital in Spain; the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics in Cyprus; and Sofiva Genomics in Taiwan.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and SOPHiA GENETICS partnered in 2023 with a vision to use the sophisticated technology of the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform to bring MSK's state-of-the-art cancer testing capabilities to precision medicine institutions worldwide. The two leaders launched the Liquid Biopsy test MSK-ACCESS® powered with SOPHiA DDM™ in April 2024. In October 2024, SOPHiA GENETICS announced a definitive partnership agreement with AstraZeneca (LSE/STO/Nasdaq: AZN) to accelerate the deployment of MSK-ACCESS® powered with SOPHiA DDM™, aiming to increase the availability of this innovative Liquid Biopsy solution worldwide. In November 2024, SOPHiA GENETICS announced the launch of the complementary Solid Tumor test, MSK-IMPACT® powered with SOPHiA DDM™. These collaborations have the potential to transform cancer research as they enable healthcare providers to draw from a continuously evolving base of real-world data and gain insights from diverse populations while using best-in-class technology.

Join us on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. (11:00) EDT / 5:00 p.m. (17:00) CET for the Precision Oncology Showcase, a virtual webinar which will spotlight the transformative potential of decentralized, AI-driven technologies for the advancement of cancer care.

Genetics role in ovarian cancer

The Medical Minute: Genetics play big role in ovarian cancer In 2024, about 19,680 women in the United States will receive a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer and 12,740 women will die from the disease, said Dr. Shaina Bruce , a gynecologic oncologist at Penn State Cancer Institute . The median age of all patients who develop ovarian cancer is 63. Historically, women at increased risk for ovarian cancer are recommended to have their fallopian tubes and ovaries removed when they have completed having children. Taking that step to protect themselves comes at a heavy price ― surgical menopause. But Bruce said medical science is catching up with ovarian cancer. Studies could lead to new methods for preventative care and the surgery needed to lower risk may be easier than it once was. Below, during Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month, Bruce discusses the disease and why acting to reduce your risk is worth it. What’s the connection between heredity and ovarian cancer? About 25% of all cases of ...

X chromosome

Gene on the X chromosome may help explain high multiple sclerosis rates in women Brain inflammation may be fueled by a gene on the X chromosome, a new study in mice suggests. And in female mice, who carry two X chromosomes, a diabetes drug called metformin may work to counteract that inflammation. If these findings bear out in later studies, they could help to unravel the long-standing mystery of why women, who have two copies of this inflammation-driving gene, are more prone to certain autoimmune diseases, particularly after menopause. A disparity between the sexes Our bodies are patrolled by immune cells that provide protection against bacteria and viruses, but sometimes, these defenses turn on us. In the autoimmune disorder multiple sclerosis (MS), for instance, the immune system attacks myelin, the fatty insulation surrounding the nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This leads to symptoms such as muscle weakness and difficulty walking, as well issues with memory and thinking...

Multifactorial Genetic Conditions

Multifactorial Genetic Conditions Multifactorial genetic conditions are disorders caused by the combined effects of multiple genes and environmental factors , rather than a single gene mutation . These conditions do not follow classic Mendelian inheritance patterns and instead result from complex gene–environment interactions . Factors such as lifestyle, nutrition, infections, stress, and exposure to toxins can significantly influence disease onset and severity in genetically susceptible individuals. Common examples include diabetes, cardiovascular diseases , neural tube defects, asthma, and many neuropsychiatric disorders. Understanding multifactorial inheritance is essential for risk prediction, preventive medicine, and personalized healthcare strategies. Multifactorial inheritance, polygenic traits, gene–environment interaction, complex diseases, genetic susceptibility, environmental risk factors, non-Mendelian inheritance, disease predisposition, polygenic risk score, precision ...
