Veracyte, Inc. (NASDAQ:VCYT) announced that eight new studies featuring its Decipher Prostate and Decipher Bladder genomic classifiers will be presented at the ASCO 2025 annual meeting in Chicago, highlighting advances in personalized cancer care. Key findings reveal that patients with metastatic prostate cancer whose tumors display a PTEN-inactive gene expression signature benefit significantly from adding docetaxel to standard androgen deprivation therapy, with a 43% reduction in risk of death, while those with PTEN-active tumors do not see this benefit.

The Decipher Prostate test, validated in over 90 studies, continues to demonstrate its value in guiding treatment intensity and timing for prostate cancer patients.

For bladder cancer, interim results from the SURE-02 trial show that combining Sacituzumab Govitecan and Pembrolizumab as neoadjuvant therapy, followed by response-adapted bladder-sparing strategies, is both safe and effective for muscle-invasive cases. The Decipher Bladder GRID tool identified molecular subtypes associated with better clinical responses, paving the way for more targeted therapies.

These studies underscore the power of Veracyte, Inc. (NASDAQ:VCYT)’s whole-transcriptome-based GRID platform, which now includes over 200,000 urologic cancer profiles, to drive research and enable more personalized treatment decisions for prostate and bladder cancer patients.
