MetaStat Announces Completion of Second Milestone of its Pilot Research Project with Celgene Corporation

MetaStat, Inc. is a precision medicine company. The Company's therapeutic focus targets a critical metastatic pathway in solid tumors responsible for driving tumor resistance and the spread of aggressive cancer. The Company's product development programs are focused on developing drug candidates and companion diagnostic tests that target the MENA pathway. Its pipelines include MENA Diagnostic Assay and MetaSite Breast Assay. The MENA diagnostic assay is a tissue-based quantitative immunofluorescence (QIF) test that measures expression of the pro-metastatic MENA protein splice-variant which is associated with poor outcomes and metastasis in early-stage breast cancer (ESBC) and squamous cell carcinoma of the Lung. MetaSite Breast is an immunohistochemistry test (IHC) that measures micro-anatomical intravasation sites (TMEM) at blood vessels within the tumor microenvironment which are clinically validated as prognostic markers of metastasis in hormone receptor-positive (HR+) ESBC.
