Oct 8, 2019: APCaRI and Nanostics Inc. are excited to announce the opening of the first recruitment site in the US for the ClarityDX Prostate clinical validation study with Century Clinical Research Inc., based in Daytona Beach, Florida. ClarityDX Prostate is a novel liquid biopsy test for the early diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer.

The clinical validation study targets the recruitment of 2,800 patients with elevated levels of PSA. Therefore, US recruitment will significantly accelerate the clinical study timeline and increase patient cohort diversity.

Funding support to include US patients comes from the Bird Dogs for Prostate Cancer Research, Alberta Cancer Foundation, Alberta Innovates-ASBIRI program and the University of Alberta. The US and Canadian study samples will continue to be processed in partnership with DynaLIFE Medical Labs in Edmonton, Alberta.

“We’re very happy to partner with Century Clinical Research to recruit US men to our study,” John Lewis, CEO of Nanostics said, “the Florida recruitment site will help us increase the regional diversity of our cohort and strengthen the results of our ClarityDX Prostate study, ultimately, allowing us to make the test available to men across North America.”

“Our extensive clinical trial research experience and diverse patient population in Daytona Beach makes us a perfect partner…” said Thomas Gaskin, Vice-President & CFO of Century Clinical Research, Inc., “we look forward to working with Nanostics to develop their ClarityDX Prostate test to help improve prostate cancer outcomes.”

Implementing ClarityDX Prostate may eliminate up to 600,000 unnecessary biopsies, 24,000 hospitalizations and up to 50% of unnecessary treatments for prostate cancer in North America. This equates to a projected $1.4B per year in cost savings to healthcare and a dramatic impact on the healthcare experience and quality of life for men.
