Partnership will increase access to accurate monitoring of uveal melanoma, enabling personalized care and improving patient management
ROCKVILLE, Md. and ZURICH, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TrilliumBiO, a leader in biomarker discovery and precision diagnostics, today announced a strategic collaboration with Oncobit, a leading Swiss precision oncology company. This collaboration broadens access to advanced monitoring solutions for uveal melanoma patients in the United States, helping to address the needs of a largely underserved patient population. By integrating diagnostic insights with emerging therapies, the collaboration provides physicians with critical data, including molecular residual disease (MRD) information, to support more precise therapy decisions.
Through this partnership, Oncobit's uveal melanoma solution will be developed and launched in TrilliumBiO's multi-accredited laboratory, making it available to physicians and patients nationwide. TrilliumBiO will implement Oncobit's proprietary Personalized Monitoring (PM) platform, including a cutting-edge data interpretation software, to track changes in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Research shows that ctDNA dynamics assessed with Oncobit PM can predict treatment response and progression, underscoring its value as a powerful prognostic tool in metastatic uveal melanoma.1,2,3
