Multiplexed ICE COLD-PCR (MX-ICP), Precipio's exclusive technology, amplifies the limited amount of mutant DNA present in plasma to enable accurate liquid biopsies. This means Oncologists can be more confident in their treatment choice for cancer patients.

85% of NSCLC EGFR mutations indicate sensitivity to EGFR-Tyrosine Kinase inhibitors (TKI).
For NSCLC treatment, the EGFR T790M mutation is the most common mutation associated with acquired resistance to TKI therapy and has been reported in ~50% of patients with disease progression. ~33% of patients after osimertinib treatment were positive for EGFR C797S mutations.
Patients with any known KRAS mutation should not be treated with either cetuximab or panitumab.

Muliplexed ICE COLD-PCR (Improved and Complete Enrichment CO-amplification at Lower Denaturation temperature) technology preferentially enriches mutant DNA sequences in an excess of wild-type DNA through selective amplification of the mutant DNA. The result is up to a 500-fold increase in sensitivity in identifying mutations with the most precise sequence alteration detection rates available-down to 0.1%*.
