April marks Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month, and we would like to share an excellent set of infographics created by Lianhe Zaobao 联合早报 a few months ago. According to World Cancer Research Fund, Esophageal cancer is the 11th most common cancer worldwide – 7th most common cancer in men and the 16th most common cancer in women. Studies also found that esophageal cancer is much more prevalent among Asians, who account for up to 80% of global cases and deaths. Driven by the need for early detection, Mirxes is actively involved in Project CADENCE. This ambitious 3-year study, a collaboration with leading Singaporean clinical experts and institutions, aims to develop a blood-based multi-cancer screening test (MCST). CADENCE (CAncer Detected Early caN be CurEd) will investigate microRNA expression and other biomarkers like DNA methylation patterns in a large multi-centre cohort of over 20,000 participants – the largest regional cancer detection study to date. This groundbreaking research targets the nine most prevalent cancers in Singapore, including esophageal cancer, with the goal of significantly improving early diagnosis and patient outcomes.

About us
Mirxes is a Singapore-headquartered biotechnology company whose mission is to save lives through early, actionable, and personalized diagnoses across the care continuum. We are Asia-centered, starting with Southeast Asia, and have global ambitions. We have research, development, manufacturing, and clinical diagnostic operations in Singapore, USA, Japan, and China. We have sales and distribution networks worldwide. Our flagship product is GASTROClear, the world’s first molecular blood test for early detection of gastric cancer, able to detect around 90% of patients with Stage I and II cancers. We continue to build a comprehensive cancer portfolio with early detection tests for lung and thyroid cancer (2022), colorectal and breast cancer (2023), liver and ovarian cancer (2024). We are concurrently building a precision oncology portfolio to provide clinical insights for the complete patient journey. MiRXES was spun off from A*STAR’s Bioprocessing Technology Institute in 2014 to commercialize an industry-leading qPCR-based technology for microRNA detection. Our ID3EAL discovery tool and workflow has been adopted by top academic and industry partners globally and is backed by the world’s first industry standard for microRNA-base diagnostics. Our versatile platform technology and capabilities have broad applications in the discovery of biomarkers and diagnosis of diseases. We are starting with early cancer detection, but we will also be addressing unmet clinical needs in cardiovascular, metabolic, and infectious diseases. We responded to COVID-19 by leveraging our capabilities to mass produce and distribute over 5 million units of the Fortitude COVID-19 RT-PCR test. This made-in-Singapore diagnostic test, developed by A*STAR and Tan Tock Seng Hospital, has been deployed in 13 Singapore hospitals and clinical labs and exported to over 45 countries worldwide. Post-COVID, we will leverage this network to commercialize multi-cancer early detection tests.

Exciting news! The groundbreaking research identifying microRNA (miRNA) signatures for facilitating early detection and classifying pulmonary hypertension (PH), in which #Mirxes played a significant role, has been accepted for publication in Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine! (𝘊𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.) This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and collaborative spirit of every party involved. It is, in fact, the culmination of a global effort, integrating years of data from leading institutions like Imperial College London, the University of Sheffield, Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the University of Cambridge, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. It also incorporates data from the CIPHER trial, a 44-site, 9-country prospective miRNA biomarker study led by Dr Yiu-Lian Fong, who was previously the programme leader at Janssen and currently serves Mirxes as the Scientific Advisor, and sponsored by #Janssen. Building on the 2024 Nobel Prize-winning discovery of miRNAs, a type of small RNA molecules that play a pivotal role in gene regulation, and leveraging Mirxes’ proprietary miRNA detection technology, data science capabilities and extensive experience in developing liquid biopsy tests, our findings demonstrate that miRNAs can significantly enhance PH diagnosis and classification. PH is a complex, heterogeneous disease comprising five major groups with numerous subgroups. Current diagnosis and classification, primarily reliant on hemodynamics which can only be measured by invasive right catheterisation, have yielded limited progress in developing effective treatments for each (sub)group. Our research demonstrates that miRNA biomarker signatures can elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of this heterogeneity, enabling refined patient classification based on fundamental molecular pathophysiology, and ultimately driving precision therapy. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: miRNA signatures outperform traditional biomarkers in distinguishing PH subgroups. 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲: Combining miRNA data with clinical parameters improves diagnostic precision, empowering personalised patient care.

The accelerating pace of biotechnology is driving significant advancements in precision medicine. We are now witnessing the power of cancer biomarkers in patient stratification, the potential of miRNA in early cancer detection, and the efficacy of biomarker-guided targeted therapies, all contributing to more personalised and effective cancer treatment. Recognising the importance of public understanding and knowledge sharing, #Mirxes engages with the community regularly. Last week, our VP of Genomics, Zhao Pan, had an engaging sharing session with Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry members from diverse backgrounds. The session was a testament to the community's keen interest on this topic, with participants posing thoughtful questions. Pan also found the session rewarding, appreciating the breadth of perspectives exchanged. Through our engagement efforts, we hope early detection and effective management, facilitated by technological advancements, can significantly reduce the fear associated with a cancer diagnosis in our community. #detectwithmirxes #preventivehealthcare #earlydetection #healthcare #cancer #healthscreening #precisionmedicine #RNA #miRNA #earlydetectionsaveslives
