Cancer is the second highest cause of death in the EU, with more than 1.3 million deaths attributable to cancer each year. Early detection of cancer is crucial to increasing the chances of survival for patients. For example, the average cancer survival rate is 83% when caught early and only 17% when diagnosed at an advanced stage. This is compounded by the difficulty and expense of screening for early stage cancers. Beyond expensive and specialist whole body imaging techniques such as MRI, there is still no commercially available general test for detecting any type of cancer before symptoms present themselves. Staggeringly, 52% of cancer deaths are due to a lack of preventative tests. Metachip, from ConquerX, is a revolutionary pan-cancer diagnostic platform that enables early-stage detection of the 10 most common types of cancer from a single, simple blood test. The platform consists of a reading device, disposable chips coated with a proprietary nanocomposite, and a diagnostic software suite powered by cutting edge artificial intelligence. The Metachip test is cost effective, fast (one hour to results), and does not require specialist analytical techniques or lab facilities. By delivering the Metachip platform, ConquerX aim to make early-stage detection of cancer available to every hospital in the EU and worldwide. During the phase 1 feasibility study, ConquerX will establish a sound go-to-market strategy and supply chain, and will draft further development plans. During the second phase of the innovation project, ConquerX will optimise the diagnostic platform, scale-up manufacturing, perform clinical validation activities with partner hospitals and gain regulatory approval.
