Under the Phase II clinical trial, the company will enroll metastatic cancer patients and will study the correlation of imaging signals observed using its CD8 T cell ImmunoPET imaging agent, standard-of-care scans, and immunohistochemistry analysis of CD8 in biopsied tissues.

"Each patient on the trial had their tumor biopsied and sequenced to see if they had a gene mutation that was known to respond to a specific drug.

Some very nasty looking things on ultrasound can be very insignificant when biopsied, likewise some mild changes on ultrasound can turn out to be something quite nasty.

"There are costs and anxiety associated with recalls, and our goal is to reduce these costs but not miss anything that should be biopsied."

The patients were then biopsied after 6 weeks and then every 18 months, along with serial PSA measurements and long-term follow-up.

Many patients, however, are biopsied not because of suspicion for a specific disease, but because they have low-level aminotransferase elevations without any clinical signs or symptoms.

For dorsal pigmentation, the proximal nail matrix should be biopsied.

The UofL lab identified ABBA after analyzing biopsied kidney tissue from 10 patients who had developed acute kidney injury, a sudden episode of kidney failure or damage that happens within a few hours or days.

In total, 6 were fertilized, and all of them were biopsied successfully on day 3 of culture.

At follow-up, five patients were biopsied because of an increased serum creatinine (12.2%): two had an acute cellular rejection episode (Banff Ib and IIa; at day 45 and month 8, resp.), two had interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy, and the other had findings that supported a BK virus infection.

Each of the lesions was biopsied. After a diagnosis of Langerhans cell sarcoma was made, the patient underwent a wide local excision of the biopsy site and also underwent a staging CT scan.
