MabCure, Inc. Files Provisional Patent in the U.S. for Ovarian Cancer Antibodies - press release/financial news



"In a blinded study of 54 blood samples, MabCure's MAbs correctly diagnosed 16 of the 17 ovarian cancers with a diagnostic sensitivity of 94 percent and 100 percent specificity. The samples were comprised of 17 patients with ovarian cancer, 5 patients with benign tumors of the ovaries, 24 healthy young females and 8 males.

"Beyond the value of our test to diagnose ovarian cancer in a highly accurate manner and with no false positives, the potential value of our proprietary MAbs is also in helping to identify tumor-specific antigens or cancer-specific targets for the ultimate treatment of ovarian cancer," said Gonenne."
