The Nodify XL2 test is a blood-based lung nodule test that integrates five clinical risk factors with the measurement of two circulating proteins in patients with low to moderate risk lung nodules.
Using a systems biology approach, hundreds of proteins implicated in lung cancer tissues studies were assessed. The ratio of two proteins, LG3BP to C163A, was ultimately selected because of its performance in classifying benign nodules.
When the test is used in clinical practice, 80% of patients receive a Likely Benign or Reduced Risk test result and have a lower risk of malignancy than indicated by traditional risk factors alone.
Test reports are personalized by calculating a post-Nodify XL2 risk of malignancy based on the test result and the pre-test risk according to the Solitary Pulmonary Nodule Calculator. These test results support clinical decision-making by helping physicians identify patients who may benefit from CT surveillance.
The Nodify XL2 test was clinically validated in the PANOPTIC trial. The high sensitivity and negative predictive value of the test help instill confidence that a patient can be safely monitored with follow-up CT scans.
The Nodify XL2 test is also covered by Medicare, making it more accessible to covered beneficiaries with just a standard blood draw. With most test results indicating a lower risk of malignancy, the Nodify XL2 test helps physicians identify patients with likely benign nodules and reduce unnecessary invasive procedures.
