EDX Medical partners with Oxford University to enhance cancer drug safety testing

EDX Medical Group plc (AQSE: EDX), which develops innovative digital diagnostic products and services supporting personalised treatments for cancer, heart disease and infectious diseases, has announced a further important development in its cancer testing capability in collaboration with The University of Oxford.

EDX Medical has entered into an exclusive agreement with Oxford University Innovation Ltd (OUI), the company which manages Oxford University’s patent portfolio, to in-license new intellectual property developed by researchers at Oxford and Birmingham Universities through research funded by Cancer Research UK (CRUK).

This will enable EDX Medical to develop a much-improved test to determine safety and dose management for individual patients receiving 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), capecitabine and related chemotherapy medications. These drugs are widely used in the first-line treatment of colorectal cancer, breast cancer and cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract but carry serious adverse side effects for certain individuals.
