Henderson, Nevada, October 09 2024 /PRNewswire/ — VolitionRx Limited (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) (“Volition”), a multi-national epigenetics company, is taking part in a webinar hosted by Edison Group, to expound new data, presented at ESICM LIVES 2024, the annual congress of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, earlier this week.
VIDEO: Volition’s ‘NETs in sepsis management’ symposium, ESICM LIVES 2024
Given the extensive size and scope of the three independent studies on the potential use of Nu.Q® NETs in sepsis management, which included over 3000 patients and more than 14,000 patient samples, the webinar aims to provide stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of the data and offer insights into how Volition’s nucleosome quantification technology could be used in clinical practice.
The webinar takes place on Monday, October 21, at 10:00 AM U.S. Eastern Time and will include updates from Volition’s Dr. Andrew Retter (Chief Medical Officer) and Mr. Gael Forterre (Chief Commercial Officer).
Dr. Andrew Retter said:
“During our upcoming webinar, we will undertake a deep dive into the data presented at ESICM 2024, highlighting research findings from large independent studies on the potential use of our Nu.Q® NETs H3.1 assay to enhance sepsis management in clinical practice.
“We will explore the role of the role of H3.1 nucleosomes in NETosis; why elevated levels of H3.1 are a cause for concern in sepsis patients and examine how the Nu.Q® NETs biomarker has the potential to predict organ failure.“
Gael Forterre, Volition’s Chief Commercial Officer, added:
“The findings from these latest Nu.Q® NETs studies are vital to our commercialization efforts and will support our ongoing licensing discussions with key industry players.”
Nu.Q® NETs, Volition’s nucleosome quantification technology, is a simple, low-cost, accessible test that quantifies an individual’s level of circulating H3.1 nucleosomes in the bloodstream, a surrogate marker for Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs). Although NETs play a critical role in our normal immune response, elevated levels of NETs can lead to tissue damage, and in severe cases, sepsis, organ failure and death.
The Nu.Q® NETs panel and Q&A event is being hosted by Soo Romanoff (Managing Director, Healthcare) at Edison Group.
