PROLARIS® PROSTATE CANCER PROGNOSTIC TEST

When active surveillance is on the table, use the test built for it

The Prolaris Test is a genomic test for prostate cancer combining clinical and pathological features with a personalized tumor aggressiveness score to help determine if a patient can safely stay on active surveillance or should pursue treatment.

When active surveillance is on the table, use the test built for it

The Prolaris Test is a genomic test for prostate cancer combining clinical and pathological features with a personalized tumor aggressiveness score to help determine if a patient can safely stay on active surveillance or should pursue treatment.

Bringing confidence to the active surveillance decision

Many men eligible for active surveillance may safely avoid treatment for at least 10 years.1 That means more time living life, not managing treatment and side-effects.

The Prolaris Test provides clear answers to help support discussions with your low- and intermediate-risk patients that are considering active surveillance.2,3

  • Only the Prolaris Test has an active surveillance threshold validated in untreated patients, making it uniquely suited to guide initial treatment decisions.2
  • It outperforms all other prostate cancer biomarkers in identifying which patients are appropriate for active surveillance.2,3
  • In a pivotal study, no patients below the Prolaris active surveillance threshold died from prostate cancer.2

Clear results. Real-world impact.​

The Prolaris Test helps inform providers on potential changes to treatment plans.

In real-world clinical studies, the Prolaris Test influenced treatment decision changes in up to 65% of cases, helping clinicians to shift between active surveillance and definitive treatment based on individual risk.4,5

In a recent study, patients recommended for active surveillance by the Prolaris Test were twice as likely to choose it and had 50% higher 3-year durability compared to those recommended for definitive treatment.6

Up to 65%

of patients tested with the Prolaris Test had a change in their treatment plan4,5

The Prolaris Test is two times more prognostic than PSA/Gleason alone9

A comprehensive score to help determine cancer aggressiveness

The Prolaris Test combines clinical-pathological features with an independent molecular score measuring the expression of 31 Cell Cycle Proliferation (CCP) genes, CCP), making it two times more prognostic than clinical features alone.7-9

Cut through uncertainty with the only test offering two clinically validated thresholds.2,10

The Prolaris Test is the only test with two clinically validated thresholds — one for identifying patients suitable for active surveillance, and another for guiding single-modal vs multi-modal therapy decisions such as adding androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to radiation therapy (RT).2,10

Active surveillance

Identify active surveillance (AS) patients at time of biopsy

Because the Prolaris Test was developed and validated on untreated men,5 AS conversations with the untreated patient in front of you are more relevant and informed.5

The Prolaris Test outperforms all other biomarkers in identifying the right patients for active surveillance in both low and intermediate risk populations.5

In the Prolaris Test validation study, NO patient below the AS threshold died of prostate cancer.5

The Prolaris Test best aligns with patients studied in ProtecT, the largest randomized trial of AS or treatment in screen-detected localized prostate cancer.6

Single-modal Treatment

Identify the patients who need definitive treatment and at what intensity

The Prolaris Test shows that those patients who fall below the multi-modal threshold do not benefit from intensifying treatment11

Establishing the multi-modal threshold

The Prolaris Test threshold was developed on approximately 1,500 intermediate and high-risk patients from two separate cohorts.

Validating patients prior to a multi-modal treatment

Patients were separated by those who received single-modal therapy versus those with multiple modes of treatment.

Multi-modal Threshold

Guide the androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) conversation

Multiple groups with ADT variations evaluated for metastasis

The Multi-modal threshold was developed and double-validated across all outcomes to predict the risk of metastasis and determine which patients can appropriately forego ADT.11,12

At or below the multi-modal threshold
(8.8% metastasis risk)

The Prolaris Test gives your patients personalized, shareable guidance and a simple “number-needed-to-treat” value.

Is ADT right for this patient?

Faster results.
Smarter workflow.​

Myriad Oncology helps customize your ordering process to meet your practice’s unique needs. With a physician-driven, conditional ordering model, Prolaris testing can be initiated directly from the pathology lab — so you get critical results faster, right when treatment decisions are being made.​

The beauty of conditional ordering? You stay in control — you decide which patients to test, and Myriad builds a workflow to support that​.

Access detailed ordering instructions, specimen handling guidelines, and pathology resources to streamline every step of the testing process.
