CNSide CSF Assay Shows Promise in Leptomeningeal Metastases Diagnosis

• The FORESEE trial demonstrated that the CNSide CSF Assay influenced clinical management decisions in over 90% of leptomeningeal metastases (LM) cases, exceeding the target endpoint. • CNSide exhibited enhanced sensitivity in detecting tumor cells (80%) compared to standard CSF cytology (29%) in patients with LM, improving diagnostic accuracy. • The assay identified actionable mutations, such as HER2 amplification, in CSF, impacting 24% of therapeutic selection decisions and demonstrating clinical utility. • High specificity and improved negative predictive value of CNSide aids in ruling out LM, offering a more reliable diagnostic tool for at-risk patients.
