LUND, Sweden, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Immunovia today
announced the PanDIA-1 study for the early detection of pancreatic
cancer in newly onset type 2 diabetics is moving into the next
phase. Samples with the associated clinical data have been
transferred to Immunovia from Lund University Diabetes Center
(LUDC). During the second half of 2022 the samples will be analyzed
as the next phase of the development plan for this large risk
group.
"We are entering into a decisive phase of the PanDIA study,
aiming to give another substantial risk group for pancreatic cancer
the ability to get access to early detection. The prevalence of
diabetes is dramatically increasing worldwide, and newly diagnosed
diabetics have an up to 8 times higher risk of being diagnosed with
pancreatic cancer. It is imperative that we change the paradigm,
offer those individuals an option to get tested and allow them to
benefit from treatment options available if diagnosed early", said
Philipp Mathieu, CEO and President
of Immunovia AB.
Immunovia started PanDIA-1 in January
2018 and it is one of the largest, comprehensive prospective
sample collections for early detection of pancreatic cancer in new
onset type 2 diabetics. 6,000 samples have been collected from the
same number of new onset diabetes patients, of which approximately
4,800 are above the age of 50 years. The samples were collected
from new onset diabetic patients starting at the time of diabetes
diagnosis over a 3-year period thereafter, which is the time span
during which patients with new-onset diabetes type 2 have a
dramatically higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates more
than 37 million Americans have diabetes and approximately 90-95% of
them have type 2 diabetes.
