AACR 2022 poster. Using solid tumor analytical validation of T-regulatory immunohistochemistry multiplex for clinical studies

Our Histoprofile®- T-reg light panel is ready for use in your clinical trials

Accurate characterization of the tumor micro-environment when tissue sample access is limited can be an important challenge in the field of immuno-oncology. The balance and tumor infiltration of T cell subpopulations are of particular interest and its importance has been repeatedly demonstrated in the literature. T cells are important immune effector cells and are therefore preferred targets for immuno-modulation.

Conventional T cells can be broadly classified as helper (Th), cytotoxic (Tcyto), memory or regulatory (Treg) cells. Tcyto cells ensure optimal immune responses against invading microbes and tumor antigens. Under homeostatic conditions, Tregs promote peripheral tolerance. However, within tumors, Tregs can supress Tcyto cell functions. The multiplex protocol, Histoprofile®- T-reg light panel, developed at Cerba Research on the Discovery ULTRA (Ventana) platform is designed to stain specific sub-populations of T cells on a single slide, avoiding the need of serial sections from precious patient’s FFPE samples in clinical trials while still providing an indepth analysis of the tumor microenvironment.

Our in-depth analytical validation ensures the quality of this robust protocol on solid tumor tissues. Evaluate T-cell subpopulations and their spatial distribution in the tumor microenvironment.

Cerba Research’s Multi-Omics Approaches in Hematological Malignancies

Hematological malignancies originate from the uncontrolled growth of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues. These biologically and clinically heterogeneous disorders account for 6.5% of all cancers worldwide, and for approximately 9.5% of newly diagnosed cancers every year.

Due to the high level of heterogeneity in cytogenetic, genetic, epigenetic, transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and metabolic alterations of hematological diseases, integrated multi-omics analyses are needed to improve clinical outcomes.

At Cerba Research, we aim to bring a multi-modal approach to precision medicine to disease. From discovery to clinical development, we provide world-class teams and capabilities worldwide to help you in your quest for novel treatment against hematological malignancies.

Precision medicine for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) – Emerging trends in molecular analysis

Of all types of cancer, lung cancer caused more deaths worldwide than any other type of cancer. It also causes more deaths than breast and colorectal cancers combined. Patients with the most common lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), have higher survival rates than patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), but the outcomes for both remain bleak. According to the National Cancer Institute, the five-year survival rate for NSCLC between 2004 and 2010 was 20.7% compared to only 6.3% for SCLC.2

NSCLC patients also have more promising and more precise, treatment options today compared to even 10 years ago. Advances in biomarker and precision medicine have led to the development of immunotherapies and targeted novel treatments that have the potential to improve patient outcomes. In the United States, the FDA has approved dozens of biomarker-driven therapies for NSCLC, including ALK, EGFR, and ROS1 inhibitors. Meanwhile, more than 1,200 treatments are in development.

Discover the latest trends in precision medicine for NSCLC in this white paper
