Craif (Location: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Ryuichi Onose, hereinafter referred to as “Craif”) is pleased to announce that it presented a joint study result regarding ovarian cancer with Shinichi Tate, Associate Professor at Chiba University Hospital, at “ESMO Congress 2021,” held online in Paris, France from September 16th to September 21st. With the result of this study, Craif will aim to implement an ovarian cancer test using urinary miRNA.

■ Joint Study with Chiba University

Chiba University and Craif are conducting a clinical study to analyze urinary miRNA in ovarian cancer patients using microfluidic nanowire devices since 2019. In this study, the following results were reported: 1) many useful ovarian cancer biomarker candidates were identified by urinary miRNA analysis, 2) through conducting an assessment of urinary miRNA expression by the RT-qPCR method, we successfully detected early stage ovarian cancer with high accuracy (AUC 0.98), 3) this method was found to be effective in detecting stage 1 ovarian cancer with high sensitivity.

■ Outline of “ESMO Congress 2021”
