Supporting translational research in oncology for over a decade

Over the past decade, Explicyte has partnered with pharmaceutical companies and Comprehensive Cancer Centers to advance translational immuno-oncology—contributing to 30+ peer-reviewed publications that characterize resistance mechanisms to cancer immunotherapies and identify predictive biomarkers of anti-tumor immune response.

To support biomarker programs from discovery through clinical development, we have built a dedicated infrastructure for biomarker analysis and clinical trial support, including:

  • Clinical-grade sample management: ISO-certified quality management for end-to-end traceability, standardized tissue processing and QC to control variability, and secure specimen storage with documented return/shipment upon request.

  • Fit-for-purpose experimental strategy: study designs that minimize sample consumption and optimize turnaround time and cost, leveraging highly multiplex technologies to extract maximum information from precious clinical specimens (Explicyte is a 10x Genomics Certified Service Provider).

  • Integrated image, omics & biostatistics: validated workflows to process and analyze high-dimensional datasets, integrate clinical metadata, and deliver clear, decision-ready reports with publication-ready figures and methods/QC documentation.

  • ISO9001 & ISO13485 biomarker assay development services (single- and multiplex IHC/IHF panels) to support patient selection in clinical trials. Our first validated panel under this quality framework is a multiplex panel for TLS detection & scoring.

Platforms for tissue and peripheral biomarker analysis in clinical trials

Our technology offer allows us to process both tumor biopsies (Fresh/FFPE) and liquid clinical samples for the discovery of predictive biomarkers or for the monitoring early signals of pharmacodynamic activity in the context of clinical trials.

ISO-certified services for the design, development & analysis of IHC/IHF biomarkers panels for oncology trials

Our ISO-certified histopathology workflow to support clinical trials includes:

  • Assay design: Marker selection, positive, & negative control tissues

  • Panel development: Antibody & staining sequence validation for multiplex panel

  • Method validation: Sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility, inter- & intra-operator reproducibility (including pathology review harmonization)

  • Validation on clinical cohort: Evaluation of assay robustness & clinical relevance

  • IHC/IF assay performance in the context of clinical trials with a compliant assay report, issued with assay documentation package suitable for sponsor filings / study documentation
ISO-certified biomarker services CRO oncology clinical trials

Explicyte is certified ISO 13485:2016 & ISO 9001:2015 by Euro-Quality System (certificates 260133/1637F/1 and 260133/1637F/2). Scope: Precision Oncology – Design and development of novel tissue biomarkers – Tissue biomarker testing services to support therapeutic decision-making
