The interim results – first shared at the <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=BdItqSDA6Al6o-I38SIC8HVerhVbF4nmX3ccqI_QUByE92yXbvem_fZDt7OQiI8cB2NKQK4abOO6M6jL-D0tMte8h9L5gZyDFjQTEqQDUNNJPBB4ksABOeMgezfAqA3z09nF2QurM9LI5SGkqo5aWA==">2025 ASCO Annual Meeting</a> by Tadayoshi Hashimoto, MD, PhD of the NCCHE – achieved 100% baseline detection of ctDNA across tumor types, including those traditionally challenging to assess because of low levels of ctDNA in blood. Key findings include:
<ul>
<li>Personalized whole-genome sequencing (WGS) panels utilizing up to 1,000 somatic variants were successfully created via Precise MRD for 97.3% of patients tested.</li>
<li>Precise MRD detected tumor fractions as low as 0.0001% (1 part per million) and showed a clinically meaningful lead time in detecting recurrence compared to imaging.</li>
<li>Clearance of ctDNA during neoadjuvant chemotherapy, as shown by Precise MRD, predicted pathological complete response. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
"Previous studies have shown that ctDNA-based MRD detection significantly correlates with recurrence risk and predicts benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy in certain cancers," said Takayuki Yoshino, MD, PhD of the NCCHE and principal investigator for the MONSTAR-SCREEN-3 study. "However, first-generation MRD assays appear to have limited sensitivity in low ctDNA-shedding tumors. For our pan-cancer study, we selected Precise MRD because of its enhanced sensitivity across diverse tumor types."
"Our results showed that among samples that were ctDNA-positive at the one-month post-surgery timepoint, 60% had ctDNA levels in the ultra-sensitive range that may not have been reported as positive by first generation MRD tests," said Dr. Hashimoto. "In addition, these patients had significantly worse disease-free survival compared to those that were ctDNA-negative, demonstrating the importance of ultra-sensitive ctDNA detection."
"The initial results from the study highlight the tremendous potential for utilizing Precise MRD across cancer types to enhance personalized treatment and therapeutic strategies for patients," said Dale Muzzey, PhD, chief scientific officer, Myriad Genetics. "Precise MRD is informed by WGS, enabling the tracking of thousands of tumor-specific sites, far more than what is possible with first-generation MRD tests. Tracking so many variants yields exceptional sensitivity even in cancers with low shedding tumors such as breast and renal. A key benefit of our ultrasensitive assay is confidence in ctDNA results, as shown by the finding that the ctDNA status after neoadjuvant treatment was strongly associated with pathological response."

The study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a clinically meaningful increase in median overall survival (mOS) of 10.1 months compared to 7.2 months (p = 0.01), with a 37% reduction in the risk of death (HR = 0.63). The elraglusib/GnP arm also doubled the 12-month survival rate in 44.1% of patients compared to GnP alone (22.3%), with a favorable safety profile.
The KOL event followed the presentation of topline trial data during an oral session at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. The event featured a fireside discussion with leading mPDAC clinicians, all with direct participation in the elraglusib clinical trial program: Colin Weekes, MD, PhD, Massachusetts General Hospital; Devalingam Mahalingam, MD, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine; Rachna Shroff, MD, MS, FASCO, University of Arizona Cancer Center; Tanios Bekaii-Saab, MD, FACP, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science.
The panelists highlighted the implications of the Phase 2 Actuate 1801 Part 3B results in the broader context of the unmet need in mPDAC, the unique immune-modulating mechanism of elraglusib, and its potential to reshape the treatment landscape, as follows.

The safety profile of atacicept in this analysis was favorable and comparable to that of the placebo.
Vera plans to share these results with the FDA in the coming weeks, and full results will be submitted to the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week.
Vera is poised for potential commercial launch of atacicept in 2026, according to Marshall Fordyce, CEO of Vera Therapeutics.
Vera is currently not sharing estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) results.
The trial continues in a placebo-controlled, blinded manner to evaluate the change in kidney function over two years as measured by eGFR and is expected to be completed in 2027.

Kidney Health-Focused Vera Therapeutics Stock Price Spikes On Heels Of Successful Trial Data

Oscar Health's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OSCR#NYSE">OSCR</a>) short percent of float has risen 15.08% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 19.07 million shares sold short, which is 9.69% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Oscar Health has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Oscar Health's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Oscar Health's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.31%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
