Analysis of 35,000 patients tested with Nodify Lung® Nodule Risk Assessment in a real-world setting to be presented at CHEST 2024 and launch of a new clinical study designed to expand data package

Biodesix, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDSX), a leading diagnostic solutions company with a focus in lung disease, today announced that new data will be presented at the CHEST Annual Meeting 2024 in Boston, Massachusetts on Tuesday, October 8 at 10:20 am ET. The presentation will detail the experience of healthcare providers using the Nodify Lung® Nodule Risk Assessment in over 35,000 patients consecutively tested in a real-world clinical setting.

Guidelines recommend that clinicians assess the risk of lung cancer in patients with new nodules to inform the next steps for the patient. Up to 80% of patients are assigned a low to moderate risk, or a 5-65% risk of lung cancer, where next steps are unclear. Biodesix Nodify Lung testing, comprised of the Nodify CDT® and Nodify XL2® blood-based lung nodule tests, is designed to reclassify the risk of lung cancer to a high (>65% risk) or very low (<5% risk) category to better clarify the optimal next steps.

At the CHEST conference, "Use of a blood-based biomarker for indeterminate nodules in community settings," will be presented by Kathryn Long, MD of the Medical University of South Carolina. It will describe clinical use patterns and national reclassification rates consistent with prior studies, highlighting the high proportion of results that up- or down-classify patients into actionable risk categories with clear, guideline-recommended, diagnostic plans.

The company also announced a new clinical study, CLARIFY, that will collect patient outcomes and other clinical information on a subset of the patients featured in the CHEST presentation by Dr. Long. CLARIFY is designed to confirm performance of the Nodify CDT and Nodify XL2 tests in diverse patient subgroups through a retrospective chart review of up to 4,000 patients that were tested in a real-world clinical setting. The study’s intent is to expand the extensive evidence characterizing the validation and utility of Nodify Lung testing.

“Nodify Lung testing has changed the standard of care for characterizing risk of malignancy in lung nodules over the past four years and we are thrilled to share the aggregate experience of healthcare providers using Nodify Lung testing in clinical practice,” said Scott Hutton, Chief Executive Officer of Biodesix. "CLARIFY represents the opportunity to supplement this dataset with further clinical outcomes analysis and increase healthcare providers’ confidence in clinical decision-making across distinct patient populations, in various practice settings."

In addition, on Wednesday, October 9 at 10:30 am ET, Sonali Sethi, MD, FCCP, Cleveland Clinic and D. Kyle Hogarth, MD, FCCP, University of Chicago will discuss the "Patient impact and case studies: the real-world value of biomarkers in lung nodule management" at Learning Theater 4. This presentation will review Nodify Lung case studies and the impact that the results have on the patient experience and shared decision-making.
