- Manuscript: CTC together with Shh and Nrf2 are prospective diagnostic markers for HNSCC | Actorius Innovations & Research
CTC together with Shh and Nrf2 are prospective diagnostic markers for HNSCC Publications 4 April 2024 Manuscript: CTC together with Shh and Nrf2 are prospective diagnostic markers for HNSCC Study links Shh/Nrf2 overexpression with circulating tumor cells in HNSCC, highlighting their potential as biomarkers for early detection and survival prediction. Background The lack of appropriate prognostic biomarkers remains a significant obstacle in the early detection of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC), a cancer type with a high mortality rate. Despite considerable advancements in treatment, the success in diagnosing HNSCC at an early stage still needs to be improved. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) are overexpressed in various cancers, including HNSCC, and have recently been proposed as possible therapeutic targets for HNSCC. Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) is a novel concept used for the early detection of cancers, and studies have suggested that a higher CTC count is associated with the aggressiveness of HNSCC and poor survival rates. Therefore, we aimed to establish molecular markers for the early diagnosis of HNSCC considering Shh/Nrf2 overexpression in the background. In addition, the relation between Shh/Nrf2 and CTCs is still unexplored in HNSCC patients. Methods In the present study, we selected a cohort of 151 HNSCC patients and categorized them as CTC positive or negative based on the presence or absence of CTCs in their peripheral blood. Data on demographic and clinicopathological features with the survival of the patients were analyzed to select the patient cohort to study Shh/Nrf2 expression. Shh and Nrf2 expression was measured by qRT-PCR. Results Considering significant demographic [smoking, betel leaf (p-value < 0.0001)] and clinicopathological risk factors [RBC count (p < 0.05), Platelet count (p < 0.05), Neutrophil count (p < 0.005), MCV (p < 0.0001), NLR (p < 0.05), MLR (p < 0.05)], patients who tested positive for CTC also exhibited significant overexpression of Shh/Nrf2 in both blood and tissue compared to CTC-negative patients. A strong association exists between CTCs and tumor grade. Following chemotherapy (a combination of Cisplatin, 5FU, and Paclitaxel), the frequency of CTCs was significantly decreased in patients with HNSCC who had tested positive for CTCs. The Kaplan–Meier plot illustrated that a higher number of CTCs is associated with poorer overall survival (OS) in patients with HNSCC. View Manuscript Stay One Step Ahead of Cancer.

- Automated Continual Flow Device to Deplete Circulating Tumor Cells using Spiral Cartridge Mediated by Antibody and Transferrin Glass Substrate | Actorius Innovations & Research
Automated OncoMetastat device enables CTC removal to support cancer therapy outcomes. Publications 3 November 2025 Automated Continual Flow Device to Deplete Circulating Tumor Cells using Spiral Cartridge Mediated by Antibody and Transferrin Glass Substrate Automated OncoMetastat device captures and depletes circulating tumor cells from whole blood safely, supporting extracorporeal cancer therapy and monitoring. Introduction Despite no radiological evidence of minimal residual disease, up to 25–50% of colorectal cancer (CRC) stage II–III and breast cancer cases experience relapse. Identifying patients at risk of recurrence remains challenging, as approximately 90% of cancer-related deaths are associated with metastasis. The role of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in extravasation and seeding of distant organs is well established; however, their extracorporeal isolation has not been widely demonstrated in routine practice. Current ex vivo CTC isolation systems often require complex setups and extensive manual handling. In this study, we present an automated device designed to capture and remove CTCs from whole blood using biocompatible cartridges mediated by antibody- and transferrin-conjugated glass bead substrates. Methods We developed the OncoMetastat touchscreen-based operational control device, integrating six roller peristaltic pumps and a cartridge containing 680 targeting 2 mm glass beads functionalized with anti-epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) antibodies and transferrin protein. The device housing (365 × 200 × 30 mm) contains a bi-spiral channel (95 × 95 × 10 mm) with 680 beads and eight cross-section channels (3.50 × 3.55 mm). A 3D-printed spring-loaded quick-release mechanism ensures secure tube attachment and rapid cartridge exchange. Flow performance, hemolysis, protein adsorption, and leukocyte interaction were evaluated using blood samples from healthy individuals and cancer patients across multiple cancer types, including breast, CRC, lung, and head and neck cancers. Pyrogenicity was assessed in rabbits according to ISO 10993-11 guidelines. Results The device maintained stable blood circulation at 0.5 mL/min for 5–10 mL whole blood samples using a dual snap-fit holder with a 2° angled offset. The peristaltic pump ensured consistent flow without compromising sample integrity. The bead-filled spiral channel effectively retained CTCs, while the integrated design reduced manual handling and improved reproducibility. Low hemolysis (1%), along with reduced serum protein and leukocyte interactions, was observed in both healthy and cancer patient samples. Selective CTC capture was demonstrated in 24 clinical samples across cancer types. All materials passed pyrogenicity testing, with no temperature elevation observed in accordance with guidelines. Conclusions The OncoMetastat device successfully depleted CTCs from cancer patient whole blood without adversely affecting blood components. The automated system provides stable blood flow and demonstrates proof of performance for extracorporeal CTC removal, with potential to enhance cancer therapy outcomes.

- ASCO 2024: Impact of ctDNA genomic mutations and CTCs biomarker duo on clinical concordance in localized, progressive, and metastatic disease. | Actorius Innovations & Research
Dual ctDNA and CTC biomarkers improve detection of cancer progression. Publications 3 June 2024 ASCO 2024: Impact of ctDNA genomic mutations and CTCs biomarker duo on clinical concordance in localized, progressive, and metastatic disease. Dual biomarker analysis of ctDNA and circulating tumor cells reveals disease progression and metastasis across multiple cancer types. Background Genomic mutations identified from circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) have been shown to correlate positively with clinical disease status. EGFR and intracellular cell progression and proliferation pathways involving BRCA1/2 and TP53 genes drive high ctDNA load in progressive cancer patients. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) indicate cellular residual disease (CRD). Together, ctDNA and CTCs as dual biomarkers offer predictive insights into tumor progression and metastasis, which may be valuable for early detection and treatment modifications. Methods In a retrospective study, 96 cancer patients (including lung, colorectal, breast, stomach, and other cancers) who had recently undergone treatment were investigated for the presence of CTCs and genomic mutations from ctDNA using the OncoMonitor test. Libraries were prepared using a hybridization-capture method covering 1000 targets with a mean sequencing depth of 5000× on the Illumina NextSeq 2000 platform. The test detected genomic alterations including single nucleotide variations (SNVs), small insertions and deletions (INDELs), copy number variations (CNVs), and translocations (fusions) using a 96-gene panel. CTCs were isolated using the OncoDiscover platform and identified as CK18+, PD-L1+, CD45- cells in 1.5 ml of blood. Results Among the 96 pan-cancer patients, 15.6% (n = 15) were identified with localized progressive disease without metastasis based on radiological findings, of which 60% (n = 9) showed at least one genomic alteration detected from ctDNA. Additionally, 12.5% (n = 12) patients were identified with metastatic disease from radiological findings, of which 58.3% (n = 7) showed the presence of at least one CTC. Among these, 33.3% (n = 4) patients had two CTCs, while five patients had no detectable CTCs. Furthermore, metastatic patients showed ctDNA load in 66.6% (n = 8) of cases with at least one genomic finding. In the metastatic disease cohort, CTC enumeration showed a concordance of 58.3% (n = 7) with metastatic radiological findings, while genomic findings from ctDNA showed a concordance of 66.6% (n = 8) with metastatic radiological findings. Among 23.9% (n = 23) patients identified radiologically with stable or treatment-responsive disease, 73.9% (n = 17) had no detectable genomic mutations from ctDNA, and 26.0% (n = 6) were CTC-negative, consistent with radiological findings. However, 26.0% (n = 6) patients had at least one genomic finding, contributing to discordance with radiological findings. Overall, genomic findings from the dual biomarkers showed concordance with radiological findings in 26.6% (n = 4) patients with progressive disease, 41.6% (n = 5) patients with metastatic disease, and 17.3% (n = 4) patients with stable or treatment-responsive disease. Conclusions Patients with progressive and metastatic disease identified through radiological findings showed concordance with dual ctDNA and CTC biomarkers. The concordance of ctDNA in progressive disease and CTC detection in metastatic disease highlights the individual significance of these biomarkers and supports their combined use for monitoring disease status and guiding treatment decisions.

- Accounts of circulating tumor cells and CTC clusters with PD-L1 expression in sarcoma patients | Actorius Innovations & Research
CTCs and PD-L1 in sarcoma indicate minimal residual disease and need for monitoring. Publications 9 May 2025 Accounts of circulating tumor cells and CTC clusters with PD-L1 expression in sarcoma patients Study shows circulating tumor cells with PD-L1 expression and clusters in sarcoma, indicating minimal residual disease and need for long-term monitoring. Abstract Background: Sarcomas are characterized by significant heterogeneity, diverse histological subtypes, and variable clinical behavior. Dynamic epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) processes in solid tumors contribute to disease aggressiveness. Characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in sarcomas remains challenging due to the lack of well-defined, cell-specific markers and limited molecular characterization. Compared with adenocarcinomas, studies on sarcoma-derived CTCs are relatively limited. Therefore, isolation and characterization of CTCs, including assessment of protein expression and cellular transitions using affinity ligands such as anti-epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) antibodies, may improve clinical outcomes in sarcoma patients. The role of CTCs as minimal cellular residual disease (MCRD) is particularly relevant post-treatment, including after curative-intent surgery. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of CTCs and CTC clusters as indicators of minimal cellular residual disease (MCRD), along with PD-L1 expression, in sarcoma patients. Methods: In this retrospective study, peripheral blood samples from 97 sarcoma patients (55.95% male and 44.05% female) were analyzed for the presence of CTCs, PD-L1 expression, and CTC clusters. CTCs were isolated using the OncoDiscover platform approved by CDSCO from 1.5 mL of blood. The platform utilizes a multifunctional magneto-nanosystem mediated by anti-EpCAM antibodies. CTCs were identified as EpCAM⁺, CK18⁺, DAPI⁺, and CD45⁻ cells. PD-L1 expression on CTCs was quantified based on linear fluorescence intensity gradients using image acquisition on an automated Zeiss microscope. Results: Among the 97 patients, 86.59% had baseline CTC assessments, while 13.40% had follow-up samples. At baseline analysis, 68.04% (n = 66) of patients demonstrated ≥1 CTC per 1.5 mL of blood. The CTC count ranged from 1 to 6 cells, with a mean value of 1.17. Additionally, 61.44% (n = 51) of patients with detectable CTCs exhibited PD-L1 expression, with a mean value of 0.92. The highest proportion of CTCs (31.11%, n = 28) and CTC clusters (6.14%, n = 7) was observed in the 31–40-year age group. Conclusions: The presence of CTCs with CTC clusters and PD-L1 expression suggests minimal cellular residual disease (MCRD) and may indicate aggressive disease behavior in sarcoma patients. Following treatment, the detection of such CTCs may be associated with metastasis progression. Therefore, longitudinal monitoring of these patients is recommended to support improved clinical outcomes. View Publication Stay One Step Ahead of Cancer.
