Guardant Health Showcases Data at ESMO 2021 Demonstrating Utility of Guardant360® Liquid Biopsy to Obtain Comprehensive Molecular Information to Guide Targeted Therapy Options for Late-Stage Cancers
15.9.2021 11:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Guardant Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: GH), along with leading academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies, share data highlighting molecular targets of importance, treatment resistance patterns, and advantages of using the Guardant360® liquid biopsy test to help improve the management of advanced solid cancers at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2021 virtual congress on September 16-21.
“While precision oncology has made a meaningful difference in improving clinical outcomes for highly prevalent cancers, such as non-small cell lung, colorectal, and breast, there remains a subset of patients who don’t respond to currently available treatments,” said Craig Eagle, MD, Guardant Health Chief Medical Officer. “It is gratifying to be able to work with the oncology community to analyze the molecular information generated from our liquid biopsy tests to continue to increase our understanding of possible new targets and more personalized treatments which can potentially improve overall survival of these hard-to-treat cancers in a more meaningful way.”

Unleash Raises $35M Led by One Peak to Help Enterprises Ship AI-driven Software Faster, Safer, and Smarter4.3.2026 16:00:00 EET | Press release
Unleash, the open-source FeatureOps company, today announced a $35 million Series B financing led by One Peak, with participation from existing investors Spark Capital, Frontline Ventures, and Firstminute Capital. The new funding will be used to accelerate product innovation and global expansion as enterprises confront the opportunities and risks of AI-accelerated software delivery. AI has dramatically accelerated software development, creating a generational opportunity for anyone in an enterprise to turn ideas, prompts, and prototypes into applications. But AI has also outpaced the systems designed to control software delivery. DORA research shows that a 25% rise in AI adoption correlates with a 7% drop in software stability. Enterprises are shipping code 2-3x faster with AI, yet outages caused by uncontrolled feature rollouts and missing kill switches are costing businesses millions in lost revenue, prolonged customer downtime, and brand damage. FeatureOps is emerging as the missing
