IMAC Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BACK) (“IMAC Holdings” or the “Company”) has launched Ignite Proteomics LLC (“Ignite”), its new subsidiary dedicated to helping doctors select the most effective cancer treatments based on protein-level insights. This move addresses a growing need for better, faster ways to personalize therapy in breast cancer and beyond.
Although genomics (gene-based) testing has become common, patients and providers find it has not fully delivered on the promise of personalized care. One reason is that genetics only reveal potential – the blueprint of the disease – while proteins show what is happening inside cancer cells right now. Ignite is poised to disrupt the multi-billion-dollar genomic testing market. The available market in the test’s current clinically approved indication is $600M.
Proteins drive cell behavior and are the direct targets of many new cancer drugs, especially antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and immunotherapies. Without measuring key proteins, standard genomic tests can miss crucial signals that predict how a tumor will respond – or fail to respond – to treatment.
Ignite’s multi-protein test addresses this gap. By measuring a range of proteins in a single sample, it offers a richer view of a tumor’s activity and vulnerability to specific therapies. Several of the assay’s important novel biomarkers are protected by licensed patents, ensuring a unique platform for guiding advanced treatment choices.
