Thanks Dusty π
Pension - I think the CIRRP is quite a big deal myself - something the company has been trying to achieve for many years. Its not a "trial" as such it appears a PPP funded Implementation Trial, Looking at the the processes, financial benefits , and patient outcomes. The product is already there - I'm trying to digest these paragraph below.
SP wise - If they dont get it , then may drop a bit, but there nothing really and baked in, dropped on results day and volume been nothing since, I think it could boost the SP significantly, but that will depend on the detail, it could get quite a lot of coverage , Trumpeting - we've seen shares go ballistic on NHS news, or do nothing.. I'm not thinking about that until its won..
The proposal to CIRRP is a public/private partnership which will involve clinicians and academics from the Universities of Oxford and Birmingham, Imperial Healthcare NHS Trust, Norfolk and Norwich Universities NHS Trust, and OBD, to build on the successful translation to clinical practice of a proven predictive tool for response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) provided by OBD.
In the proposal to the UK government, a successful Cancer Immunotherapy Response Research platform (CIRRP) outcome will accurately predict a patientβs clinical response to current ICIs to inform clinical treatment decisions, focus on optimization of NHS resources, be applicable to and scalable across many cancers, be flexible and adapt to new ICIs, identify new immunological targets and treatment regimes, account for comorbidities and provide insights into mechanisms of response.
If the proposal is accepted, the consortium will:
Establish the CIRRP platform within an existing OBD ISO15189/UKAS accredited clinical laboratory to offer UK-based EpiSwitch CiRT and HiRT clinical screening on at least 350 patients - in prostate, colorectal, breast, ovarian and lung cancers, initially at the NHS trusts within the consortium, and then across NHS networks across the UK, using an established transparent cost per patient sample model.
Create real-world impact data within NHS clinical practice for prediction of ICI response and prognosis of Hyperprogressive disease (HPD). The initial focus will be NHS patients considered for or currently receiving anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 ICI treatment for prostate, colorectal, breast, ovarian and lung cancers. Understanding the distinct Objective Response Rate to ICIs means precise understanding of rates of response/non-response to treatment, immune-related adverse events (irAEs) or HPD becomes critical.
Advance the understanding of genetic, metabolomic and epigenetic mechanisms behind clinical outcomes, acquired resistance and remission. The world-class expertise of the research team will be guided through the multiomic complexity of genomes by focusing on the functional genomic footprints of networks of 3D EpiSwitch biomarkers strongly associated with clinical outcomes
