Plus Therapeutics

Plus Therapeutics and Genomic Testing Cooperative are integrating next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics into the CNSide analysis platform for cerebrospinal fluid samples to enable DNA and RNA profiling of hundreds of biomarkers from a single sample. This expands CNSide’s diagnostics from counting circulating tumor cells to tumor DNA analyses; the CNSide CSF test has received AMA-PLA code 0640U and the CLIA laboratory is registered with Medicare. The collaboration aims to strengthen data intelligence for precision oncology in metastatic CNS diseases; Plus Therapeutics is also developing targeted radiotherapeutics, including rhenium-186 Obisbemeda. » Más en de.investing.com

The NCCN confirms cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis as the standard for diagnosing and monitoring leptomeningeal metastases and recommends, during intrathecal therapy, regular CSF cytology every four to eight weeks in addition to MRI and clinical examination. Plus Therapeutics emphasizes that its CNSide platform more than doubled tumor detection sensitivity versus conventional cytology in the FORESEE study and is designed for diagnosis, monitoring and management. CNSide received Medicare coverage and CAP accreditation in 2026; reimbursement was expanded by Blue Shield of California and Elevance Health to about 126 million insured lives, with targets of 150 million covered lives and 1,250 tests in 2026. The clinical company has a market capitalization of $28.7 million, its stock trades at $4.17, and it plans to rename to Cerenome with a new ticker CNSY on August 3, 2026. » Más en de.investing.com

A health-economic study by Plus Therapeutics in collaboration with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health shows that the CSF test CNSide could reduce treatment costs for leptomeningeal metastasis by about 33–47%. The analysis, presented at ISPOR 2026 and honored with a Blue-Ribbon award, attributes savings to earlier diagnoses, more precise therapies and fewer hospital stays. Plus is advancing commercialization in the US, reports recent agreements with payers, and despite a stock rise earlier in the week has a market capitalization of around $45 million. » Más en de.investing.com
