"Pillar Biosciences, Inc…today announced they have received nationwide Medicare coverage by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for oncoReveal® CDx pan-cancer solid tumor in vitro diagnostic (IVD) NGS kit…Additionally, oncoReveal® CDx has also been approved as a companion diagnostic to identify patients who may benefit from EGFR TKI therapy (class approval) in NSCLC and ERBITUX® and VECTIBIX® for KRAS in CRC.oncoReveal® CDx has been FDA cleared on the Illumina MiSeqTM Dx. The oncoReveal® CDx IVD is reported to payers using the Proprietary Laboratory Analysis CPT code 0523U."

"Pillar Biosciences, Inc...announced its participation in the 2024 Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) Annual Meeting in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The company and scientific collaborators will collectively present ten studies and host three corporate workshops, showcasing their latest advancements in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology and oncology diagnostics...The presentations will highlight Pillar Biosciences’ simple and rapid kitted NGS panels and their applications in the research and clinical settings to more effectively enable localized testing."

"Pillar Biosciences...announced that they have been granted a unique CPT Proprietary Laboratory Analyses (PLA) code 0523U from the American Medical Association (AMA) for their FDA approved oncoReveal CDx pan-cancer solid tumor in vitro diagnostic (IVD) NGS kit....The oncoReveal CDx assay kit is intended to provide pan-cancer tumor mutation profiling to be used by qualified health care professionals in accordance with professional guidelines in oncology for previously diagnosed cancer patients with solid malignant neoplasms."

"Pillar Biosciences...today announced an expansion of their existing partnership with Illumina, through which a broader portfolio of Pillar's oncoReveal™ NGS panels will now be offered directly by Illumina. Several of Pillar's oncology panels will be available as part of the validated libraries on the MiSeq i100 Series sequencing platform, which launched last week."

"Pillar Biosciences, Inc. has entered into a strategic partnership with AstraZeneca to expand laboratory access to molecular testing, using rapid, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based liquid biopsy tumor profiling panels for detection of genetic cancer variants, with an initial focus on European markets and the UK...The partnership aims to rapidly identify tumors with clinically actionable genomic alterations via liquid biopsy profiling and intends to support faster diagnostic testing by increasing the local availability of plasma-based tumor profiling at leading clinical laboratories....The work will initially leverage Pillar Biosciences oncoReveal Core LBx, Essential LBx, and Fusion LBx research-use-only (RUO) liquid biopsy kitted NGS panels."

"Pillar Biosciences, Inc...has announced the global launch of oncoReveal™ Nexus, a research-use-only (RUO) next-generation sequencing (NGS) kit designed to enable laboratories with a rapid, targeted solution for solid and hematological malignancies to help accelerate the delivery of targeted therapy...A team at New York’s Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), will be the first to utilize oncoReveal™ Nexus, which will be branded MSK-REACT. MSK has already received NYS DOH approval for clinical implementation of MSK-REACT, enabling a more streamlined NGS workflow to help patients get on the right therapy sooner."

"Pillar Biosciences, Inc., the leader in Decision Medicine, has announced that Molecular Pathology Laboratory Network, Inc., (MPLN) is now the first national molecular reference laboratory to verify and launch oncoReveal CDx. The oncoReveal CDx pan-cancer solid tumor IVD kit has been FDA PMA approved for general tumor profiling for 22 clinically relevant genes across all solid tumors, including CDx claims for KRAS (Erbitux & Vectibix) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and EGFR (TKI Class Approval) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)."

"Pillar Biosciences, Inc...announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the company's Premarket Approval (PMA) supplement application for its oncoReveal CDx pan-cancer solid tumor in vitro diagnostic (IVD). The approval expands the indication of oncoReveal Dx from EGFR & KRAS therapy selection in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) to now include general solid tumor profiling."

"Pillar Biosciences, Inc...announced the company and scientific collaborators will collectively present eleven studies and two corporate workshops at the 2023 Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) Annual Meeting from November 14 -18, 2023 in Salt Lake City, UT (Booth #619)."

"Beckman Coulter Life Sciences...announces a collaboration agreement with Pillar Biosciences, which develops and distributes IVD & RUO NGS testing solutions based on their proprietary SLIMamp® technology to help localize patient testing and optimize the selection of precision therapies for cancer patients...The application development partnership is initially focused on five commercially-available, solid tumor liquid biopsy and hematology panels from Pillar Biosciences..."

"Pillar Biosciences, Inc...has announced the global launch of oncoReveal™ Core LBx, a research-use-only (RUO) next-generation sequencing (NGS) kit designed to enable laboratories with a solution for liquid biopsy-based pan-cancer tumor profiling. The oncoReveal Core LBx is the latest addition to Pillar Biosciences' portfolio of cancer profiling assays designed to enable localized testing and reduce time to treatment initiation."

"Illumina Inc...and Pillar Biosciences Inc...today announced a strategic partnership to make Pillar's suite of oncology assays commercially available globally as part of the Illumina portfolio of oncology products. The agreement will result in an unprecedented offering of complementary next-generation sequencing solutions that will enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness of oncology testing through advanced sequencing techniques, improving patient access to personalized cancer treatment options....Pillar's targeted assays help oncologists and researchers identify mutations that drive tumor growth."
