M-Protein Analysis in Myeloma via Mass Spectrometry
May 4, 2024
Luca Genovesi, Michael Schirm, Nick Dupuis, Gwenael Pottiez
CellCarta’s poster on M-Protein analysis in plasma of multiple myeloma (MM) patients highlights the use of intact mass spectrometry for monitoring disease progression. This non-invasive method, requiring only a small volume of plasma or serum, measures M-Protein levels with high sensitivity, precision, and reproducibility.
The study demonstrated that mass spectrometry could detect significant reductions in M-Protein concentration, providing an effective alternative to bone marrow biopsies for evaluating treatment response and measurable residual disease (MRD). The workflow supports high-frequency sampling, offering a comprehensive profile of disease progression and treatment efficacy in MM patients.

Enumerating Large Oncosomes with RareCyte CTC Platform

CellCarta’s proof-of-concept study utilizes the RareCyte CTC platform to enumerate large oncosomes (LOs) in patients with HER2 overexpressing tumors.
The study demonstrates that combining circulating tumor cells (CTCs), LOs, and circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in a multimodal liquid biopsy analysis enhances the detection and monitoring of HER2 amplification in metastatic breast cancer.
The results showed a strong correlation between LO count and CTC count, and the combined analysis improved the accuracy of HER2 status assessment. This approach offers a cost-efficient and non-invasive method to monitor tumor biomarkers, providing valuable insights into tumor progression and treatment response.

CellCarta’s study utilizes tumor RNA-sequencing data to predict immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) response in cancer patients. The developed RNA-Seq Bio-IT model integrates features like tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), and immune gene expression signatures to enhance the prediction of clinical responses to ICI therapy.
This model reduces the complexity and cost associated with multi-omics approaches and provides a more accurate prediction of therapy outcomes, potentially improving patient selection for ICI treatment.
