U.K. and CA companies to collaborate on breast cancer Dx study

The U.K.'s Abcodia will work with California-based OncoCyte to perfect a blood test for early breast cancer detection. Neither side is disclosing financial terms. The collaboration is expected to focus on OncoCyte's PanC-Dx test, which is also in other clinical studies for bladder, breast and lung cancer. For this new study, OncoCyte will test how well PanC-Dx's cancer markers help detect breast cancer in patient samples supplied from Abcodia's biobank. OncoCyte is a subsidiary of BioTime ($BTX).
