Primary study sites Baylor Scott & White
Health in Texas and Endeavor Health in Illinois aim to enroll up to
25,000 patients from diverse backgrounds, assessing the impact of
MCED testing on clinical care
Falcon Registry study is another step in Exact
Sciences’ rigorous approach to develop its future multi-biomarker
class blood-based MCED test
Exact Sciences Corp. (Nasdaq: EXAS), a leading provider of
cancer screening and diagnostic tests, today announced that the
first patient has joined its Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED)
Falcon Registry Real-World Evidence (RWE) study at Baylor Scott
& White, the primary study site and largest not-for-profit
health system in Texas. The multi-site study will enroll up to
25,000 patients, evaluating the clinical performance, patient and
provider experience, and psychological impact of MCED testing over
a five-year period. Endeavor Health, a Chicago-area health system
serving more than 1.4 million patients, will start enrolling
patients this fall. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
recently authorized an investigational device exemption (IDE) for
the Exact Sciences MCED test, allowing its use in the Falcon
Registry. This study will provide valuable insight to further
inform the development and commercialization of the company’s
future MCED test and support discussions with regulatory agencies,
payers, and guideline bodies.

“Exact Sciences is dedicated to advancing an MCED test, as it
offers a highly promising way to make an impact on the burden of
cancer,” said Tom Beer, M.D., chief medical officer and vice
president, multi-cancer early detection, Exact Sciences. “Too
often, cancers go undetected until symptoms appear, resulting in
diagnoses at advanced, less treatable stages. Early detection
through screening improves outcomes, yet two-thirds of cancer cases
and deaths are due to cancers that do not have recommended
screening options.1 Our collaboration with Baylor Scott & White
and Endeavor Health is a crucial step forward and represents a
tremendous opportunity to help transform cancer care.”
To better understand the impact of MCED testing on patient care,
the study will use a registry approach, tracking patient data over
time to evaluate outcomes and improve future treatments. Up to
25,000 patients ages 50-80 with no history of cancer will
participate in annual MCED testing for three years and two
additional years of follow-up data collection. Data will also be
collected for a comparator cohort of up to 50,000 patients,
demographically and clinically similar to the study cohort but
receiving standard care without the MCED test. The Exact Sciences
MCED test features two high-performing biomarker classes known for
their ability to identify cancer early, offering sensitivity and
specificity that can detect aggressive cancers and those lacking
current standard of care screening.2
“With this important work, we aim to intercept cancer earlier
than ever before,” said Ronan Kelly, M.D., principal investigator
of the MCED Falcon Registry Real-World Evidence study. Dr. Kelly is
the director of oncology, Baylor Scott & White Charles A.
Sammons Cancer Center at Baylor University Medical Center — Dallas,
and chief of oncology, North Texas Division, Baylor Scott &
White Health. “We are eager to do our part in the national effort
to decrease cancer mortality by 50% over the next 25 years, as
outlined in the U.S. government’s Cancer Moonshot initiative. This
important study is helping advance proactive cancer detection
efforts, and we are excited to help close gaps in existing cancer
screening programs.”
Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United
States, with over 2 million new cases and approximately 611,000
deaths projected for 2024.3 Advancing early detection through
innovative approaches like MCED testing has never been more
critical. Baylor Scott & White and Endeavor Health, located in
distinct parts of the country and serving a diverse range of
communities, will help reach a broad representative group of
Americans and provide insights on the potential benefits of early
detection across diverse populations.
“Implementing MCED testing and advancing preventative genomics
are crucial steps in addressing the ‘last mile’ problem in health
care,” said Peter Hulick, M.D., the Janardan D. Khandekar, M.D.,
chair of personalized medicine and the director of the Mark R.
Neaman Center for Personalized Medicine at Endeavor Health. “The
Falcon Registry is a pivotal research study to meet the real-world
challenges of implementation and aligns with the broader vision of
the Davis Family Center for Preventive Genomics at Endeavor Health,
which is to assist patients, their families, and caregivers in
making better-informed decisions about early diagnosis, prevention
strategies, and personalized treatment options.”
The Exact Sciences MCED test is available to patients who have
consented and enrolled in the Falcon Registry study. It has not
been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
or other notified regulatory authority. The test was developed and
its performance characteristics validated by Exact Sciences
Laboratories following College of American Pathologists (CAP) and
Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) regulations. The
test is performed at Exact Sciences Laboratories. Exact Sciences
Laboratories is accredited by CAP, certified under CLIA
regulations, and qualified to perform high-complexity clinical
laboratory testing.
