(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VCYT#NASDAQ">VCYT</a>), a leading cancer diagnostics company, today announced new data showing that its whole-genome sequencing (WGS)-based platform for minimal residual disease (MRD) testing detected cancer in patients treated for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) with more accuracy than ddPCR-based blood testing and earlier compared to standard imaging. The findings, from the large, independent, multicenter, interventional <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fclinicaltrials.gov%2Fstudy%2FNCT04138628&amp;esheet=54228724&amp;newsitemid=20250325940531&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=TOMBOLA+trial&amp;index=2&amp;md5=99d285c1773d1c69fbd4f75c2b63055c">TOMBOLA trial</a> (NCT04138628), were shared in an oral presentation at the 40th Annual European Association of Urology Congress (EAU25) in Madrid by Iver Nordentoft, Ph.D., Aarhus University (Abstract A0162: &quot;Comparison of ctDNA detection methods for monitoring minimal residual disease in patients with bladder cancer: Insights from the TOMBOLA Trial&quot;).
The new study involved 100 patients enrolled in the TOMBOLA trial who had MIBC and were undergoing standard-of-care neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and radical cystectomy (RC). Their blood samples were evaluated for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) using both ddPCR-based and Veracyte&#39;s WGS-based MRD testing platform to detect disease recurrence. Patients also underwent imaging. At the 6-month milestone, in comparison to ddPCR, the Veracyte MRD testing platform had an equivalent and outstanding negative predictive value (95.9% Veracyte MRD vs. 96.2% ddPCR) for cancer recurrence, while having a higher specificity (88% Veracyte MRD vs. 62% ddPCR). Longer follow-up is required to determine the clinical impact of these results. The findings also showed that the Veracyte MRD testing platform detected cancer recurrence a median of 93 days sooner than imaging. In the ongoing trial, ctDNA-positive patients are treated with immunotherapy and followed for clinical response.
&quot;Up to half of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer experience recurrence within two years of initial treatment, and using ctDNA status to guide oncological treatment would spare some patients from unnecessary treatments,&quot; said Lars Dyrskj&oslash;t Andersen, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine and Department of Molecular Medicine at Aarhus University in Denmark and principal investigator of the TOMBOLA trial. &quot;ctDNA testing using ddPCR has demonstrated promise for MRD detection, but it has inherent limitations that may impede its clinical use, particularly on a large scale. Our findings show that Veracyte&#39;s whole-genome sequencing approach to MRD testing demonstrates high accuracy and may improve overall clinical utility, compared to ddPCR.&quot;
Veracyte&#39;s MRD testing platform utilizes a combination of whole-genome sequencing and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide fast and accurate detection of residual cancer in a patient&#39;s blood sample. This approach requires less blood and offers faster results, compared to ctDNA testing that uses bespoke panels, enabling earlier detection and improved outcomes. Veracyte&#39;s MRD testing platform characterizes the complete set of cancer mutations in the tumor tissue sample and blood to establish a patient-specific, landmark genomic signature. It then uses whole-genome sequencing and AI to detect that signature in subsequent blood samples, indicating that cancer is present, and to track tumor progression throughout the patient&#39;s treatment and follow-up care. Veracyte plans to launch its first MRD test in muscle-invasive bladder cancer in the first half of 2026, with other cancer indications to follow.
&quot;The new data presented at EAU25 reinforce the power of the Veracyte Diagnostics Platform, which is at the core of all of our tests and will now enable us to expand into MRD testing in a clinically meaningful way,&quot; said Philip Febbo, M.D., Veracyte&#39;s chief scientific officer and chief medical officer. &quot;With our first MRD test in muscle-invasive bladder cancer, we are excited to expand our test offerings along the care continuum in urologic cancers where our Decipher tests are widely used and trusted by clinicians to help guide prognosis and treatment decisions.&quot;

Piper Sandler has upgraded Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MYGN#NASDAQ">MYGN</a>), a molecular diagnostic testing and precision medicine company.
Analyst David Westenberg says Myriad Genetics&#8217; management team set an overly aggressive LRP. Since then, two events—the loss of a private payer&#8217;s reimbursement on Genesight and an NCCN guideline language change—have led to an over 50% decline in the stock in the last six months.
Westenberg writes that Myriad Genetics risks missing this year&#8217;s guidance and might need to set 2026 expectations below the LRP.
&#8220;We think Myriad&#8217;s biggest remaining potential downside is expectations set by a previous CEO, and we believe the stock will find a bottom around this ~1x revenue range,&#8221; Piper Sandler writes.

BMO Capital writes Myriad Genetics has faced challenges in the urology and prostate testing market, losing some ground to Deciphera Pharmaceuticals and Veracyte (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VCYT#NASDAQ">VCYT</a>) in recent years.
However, the company has taken steps to stand out, including a new partnership with PATHOMIQ to integrate AI with molecular testing. Myriad Genetics plans to launch a test for patients after radical prostatectomy and radiation treatment later this year or early next year. This test will be offered alongside Prolaris as a combined option.
Piper Sandler writes that the stock has stabilized, allowing new CEO Sam Raha to reshape the business, set clear strategies and align expectations. The analyst has upgraded the stock from Neutral to Overweight, with a price target of $12.50, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MYGN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">up from $11.50</a>.

A Glimpse Into The Expert Outlook On Veracyte Through 5 Analysts

On Monday, Veracyte Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VCYT#NASDAQ">VCYT</a>) reported adjusted earnings of 36 cents. That&#8217;s up from 21 cents a year ago, beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43925680/veracyte-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of 11 cents</a>.
The global diagnostic company reported sales of $118.6 million, up from $98.2 million a year ago. It beat the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $116.77 million</a>.
Testing revenue was $112.2 million, an increase of 24% year over year, driven by the strong performance of Decipher and Afirma tests. Total volume increased by 22% to 41,271 tests and testing volume by 25% to 39,107 tests.
Veracyte is evaluating its ownership and operations of its Marseille, France-based subsidiary, Veracyte SAS. The company's activities include its immune-oncology biopharma business, contract development and manufacturing, and support for its IVD development and manufacturing.&nbsp;
Veracyte recently notified Veracyte SAS that, as its sole shareholder, it is considering no longer funding the French entity. Accordingly, Veracyte SAS will engage with its works council over the next few months, as required by French law.
Seeking external buyer(s) for a potential divestiture of all or part of the French entity's activities is an option that is actively being explored.
William Blair analyst Andrew Brackmann writes, &#8220;While this adds a bit of uncertainty about the total company revenue and margins, we think walking away (or selling) could be a long-term positive.&#8221;
The analyst says the French subsidiary earns about $4 million in revenue each quarter but has $7 million in fixed costs, leading to a $5 million operating loss. Selling the unit or filing for bankruptcy could help Veracyte reduce costs.
Guidance: The company expects 2025 testing revenue of $470 million to $480 million, or 12% to 15% year-over-year growth.
The guidance implies testing revenue growth of 14% to 16%, adjusted for the impact of the paused Envisia test.
Given the number of variables impacting its Marseille, France operations, the company is not providing total revenue guidance now. It expects to provide its total revenue outlook for 2025 once there is more clarity on the timing and impact of the process underway.
The company also expects its adjusted EBITDA margin to be approximately 21.6% in 2025, compared to 20.6% in 2024.
Price Action: VCYT stock is down 2.90% at $38.23 during the premarket session on last check Tuesday.
