Signatera™ for Biliary Tract Cancer

 

Signatera™ is setting the standard for MRD testing in biliary tract cancer. Each assay is custom-designed to detect molecular residual disease earlier than standard biomarkers like CA19-9 and CEA, giving you actionable insight to guide post-surgical risk stratification and treatment decisions.

Inform clinical challenges in biliary tract cancer

Test

Identify high-risk patients

50 – 70%

of patients relapse within 1-2 years after curative resection, often with distant or unresectable disease.1

Know

Risk stratify

94%

of Signatera™-positive patients during surveillance went on to recur, an 18x higher risk than Signatera™-negative patients.1

Decide

Catch recurrence sooner

3.7

months was the median lead time Signatera™ detected recurrence ahead of imaging.1

Use Signatera™ to identify patients at the highest risk of disease progression post-surgery

Post-Operative MRD (2–12 Weeks Post-Surgery)

  • Signatera™-positive patients were 9x more likely to recur and 5x more likely to die1
  • 1-year RFS of 13% vs 75%
  • 1-year OS of 56% vs 96%

Signatera™ detected molecular relapse before radiographic progression

Post-Definitive Treatment Surveillance

  • 4% of Signatera -positive patients went on to recur1
  • 18x higher risk than negative patients
  • Detected a median of 3.7 months ahead of imaging
  • 1-year RFS 32% vs 92%
  • 1-year OS of 85% vs 98%

Signatera™ status was prognostic of clinical outcomes at MRD and surveillance windows but common biomarkers such as CA19-9 and CEA were not
