TEST:

Nodify Lung

Nodify Lung is an effective blood test for assessing the risk of malignancy in solitary pulmonary nodules. It enhances diagnostic accuracy when combined with critical thinking and clinical skills. The test improves the detection of malignant nodules, enabling timely diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.

Corporate Presentation

"Biodesix, Inc...announced...the validation and launch of a new method of collecting blood specimens for Nodify Lung Nodule Risk Assessment testing. The method uses the FDA-cleared Tasso+™ device, a single-use blood lancing device intended for obtaining capillary whole blood samples from a patient’s upper arm."

The Solitary Pulmonary Nodule (SPN) tool by Mayo Clinic is a valuable tool in assessing for malignancy. When used in conjunction with the Nodify blood test, risk of malignancy can be identified, and plans of care can be created based on results. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: By identifying risk with both the SPN tool by Mayo Clinic and the Nodify blood test, patients are sent for biopsy and have a diagnosis quickly.

The data showed that participants with a positive PET scan in conjunction with the result of Nodify Lung test ended with a diagnosis of lung cancer. This is suggestive that Nodify Lung test is a useful tool to suggest lung cancer with the providers clinical judgement and PET scan results. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The use of the Nodify Lung test along with PET is a reliable tool to evaluate risk of malignancy and to formulate a diagnosis for the patient.

"Biodesix, Inc...presented original data in four separate poster presentations at the ISPOR (International Society for Pharmaceutical and Outcomes Research) conference, providing evidence of the health economic benefits of the Nodify CDT® and Nodify XL2® tests in the management of pulmonary nodules. The posters, presented May 8-9, 2023, highlighted potential cost savings in both Medicare and commercially insured patient populations with use of the tests."
