EndoPredict evidence hub

EndoPredict Breast Cancer Prognostic Test has clinical evidence across thousands of patients, the most of any second generation gene expression test for breast cancer recurrence.

Summary of evidence

EndoPredict has a depth of clinical evidence in patients with ER positive/HER2 negative early-stage breast cancer, established in over 3,500 patients, across 5 validation trials, and with up to 15 years of clinical data in some women.1-7

EndoPredict is validated across node positive and node negative patients, as well as both premenopausal and postmenopausal women – the only second generation breast cancer recurrence gene expression test to do so.

This second generation test is recommended by many international and national guidelines to help clinicians and their patients make confident chemotherapy treatment decisions together, and provide information about need for long-term endocrine therapy.

Clinical validation of EndoPredict

EndoPredict is independently validated for robust prognostic results.1-4

  • Training: the algorithm for the EPclin Risk Score was generated using a large training set of 964 ER positive/HER2 negative breast cancer tumor samples. These included pre- and postmenopausal patients with node negative or node positive disease
  • Validation: Unlike other tests, validation of EndoPredict used pre-specified risk scores and one consistent cut-off value across five independent prospective-retrospective studies with more than 3,500 patients included in randomized prospective phase III clinical trials. Learn more about the key studies for EndoPredict on our clinical summaries page.
  • Results: EndoPredict consistently identified a large low-risk group with a 10-year recurrence risk of less than 10%. Regardless of whether the patients were pre- or postmenopausal, node negative or positive

Recurrence risk data up to 15 years

EndoPredict is the only test providing breast cancer recurrence risk up to 15 years.2

Level of evidence 1A8 prospective data for EndoPredict

EndoPredict has the first prospective validation of prognostic risk classification for a second generation gene expression test in a randomized trial of node positive, clinically high-risk, chemotherapy-treated patients.9

Decision impact studies

EndoPredict impacts therapeutic decision-making, reflected in the published decision impact studies in this table, which enrolled over 1,000 patients across five different countries.9-14

More prospective data

A prospective French registry (SiMoSein) with more than 4,700 patients presented at ESMO 2021 emphasizes the clinical need for gene expression testing to avoid over and under treatment.15

This data illustrates that gene expression assays such as EndoPredict are the cornerstone for assessment of prognosis in patients with early ER positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. With 4,766 patients from 14 laboratories, the French national registry SiMoSein is the largest registry worldwide for patients tested with EndoPredict in a real-world setting.

Other prospective data are also expected soon for EndoPredict in the ongoing RESCUE study. Find out more on our clinical trials page.

Clinical performance of EndoPredict

You can find all of these studies on our publications page, where you can find a full list of published materials to support EndoPredict. Summaries of the key EndoPredict studies can also be found on our clinical summaries page.

Node positive disease

  • EndoPredict is the only second generation test with level of evidence 1A data in clinically high-risk, chemotherapy-treated patients9
  • In node positive subgroups EndoPredict outperforms the first generation test Oncotype DX® and more accurately predicts the true low-risk patients16

Node negative disease

  • EndoPredict identifies the largest group of true low-risk patients compared to other tests16
  • EndoPredict’s prognostic and predictive value is independent of nodal status, and still identifies high-risk node negative patients that can avoid under treatment3,5

Premenopausal patients

  • EndoPredict is the only second generation test validated for premenopausal patients5
  • EndoPredict detects a large group of true low-risk premenopausal patients, regardless of nodal status5
  • EndoPredict is the only second generation test with prospective proof that it can identify low-risk premenopausal patients17
