More than 5,600
miles from the company’s home-base in Namur, Belgium, VolitionRx CEO Cameron
Reynolds recently interviewed with SNN Live host and CEO Shelly Kraft at the
Sixth Annual LD Micro Conference in Bel Air, Calif.
VolitionRx is a life
sciences company developing inexpensive, accurate, and scalable cancer
detection blood tests. In the live video interview, Reynolds discusses the
ongoing clinical trial for the company’s front-line colorectal cancer
diagnostic test.

Reynolds notes that
while colonoscopies are the standard procedure for colorectal cancer diagnosis,
50 percent of individuals do not undergo the procedure. Though highly accurate,
the testing is highly invasive and costs roughly $2,000.
VolitionRx’s blood
diagnostic test, however, is cheaper, quicker and in pre-clinical trials
demonstrated significant accuracy. The company hopes that the blood-based tests
will encourage more people to get routine testing.
“Blood tests, we
think, are very superior for ease and for price,” says Reynolds. “ … Accuracy
is very important to us, and that’s why we’ve developed a test that appears to
be very accurate in our early stage trials …. The accuracy of our tests …are
about 85 percent for both false-negatives and false-positives. For blood tests
[this result] is excellent. It’s something we’re very hopeful for, to continue
on those sort of numbers in the larger trials we’re doing now.”
The company’s test
isn’t designed to replace colonoscopy, which can identify the location of
cancerous regions in the bowel, but rather to replace the colonoscopy as an
accurate, low-cost and minimally invasive front-line screening test.
Reynolds concludes
his interview with SNN Live by briefly discussing his own background, as well
as that of the company’s scientific team.
