    MARLBOROUGH, Mass., April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Akoya Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:AKYA), The Spatial Biology Company®, today announced the availability of a new assay designed to advance antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) development in breast cancer. The new assay will be featured alongside customer-generated real-world data from the PhenoCode™ Discovery IO60 panel—Akoya's flagship ultrahigh-plex immuno-oncology solution—at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 2025 Annual Meeting, taking place April 25–30 in Chicago, Illinois.

    New ADC Assay: Advancing Breast Cancer Precision

    The emergence of HER2- and TROP2-targeting ADCs—such as those used in the DESTINY, ASCENT, and TROPiCS trials—have transformed breast cancer treatment while introducing greater complexity in therapeutic decision-making. Akoya's newly launched multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) panel is designed to address these challenges by enabling more precise patient selection within established breast cancer subtypes.

    This ADC-focused panel includes HER2, TROP2, Ki-67, ER/PR, and a proprietary membrane-localization cocktail. It allows for simultaneous quantification of ADC target expression with precise subcellular localization, providing:

    • Normalized protein expression
    • Membrane/cytoplasmic expression ratios
    • Comparative analysis with standard-of-care IHC biomarkers

    Now available through Akoya's Advanced Biopharma Services (ABS), the ADC panel includes comprehensive support—from assay customization to tissue staining, high-resolution imaging, image analysis, and reporting. ABS is purpose-built to accelerate the path from translational discovery to IUO and IVD, with capabilities anchored in:

    • A CLIA-certified laboratory for clinical-grade assay development
    • Integrated imaging and analysis workflows for multiplexed biomarker quantification
    • A clinical trial site and global CRO network for end-to-end study support

    The panel is optimized for:

    • Identifying HER2-low and TROP2-high patients in clinical trial cohorts
    • Resolving membrane versus cytoplasmic marker expression—critical for ADC efficacy
    • Delivering consistent, quantitative scoring of each ADC marker

    "Multiplexing key targets in context with state-of-the-art membrane resolution is a catalyst for designing precise ADC combination strategies," said Pascal Bamford, Chief Clinical Officer at Akoya. "Our goal is to equip translational and clinical teams with assays that reflect the complexity of the tumor microenvironment while preserving clinical relevance."

    Real-World Impact of IO60: Proven in the Field

    Originally launched at SITC 2024, the PhenoCode Discovery IO60 panel remains the fastest ultrahigh-plex spatial proteomics solution for immuno-oncology research. At AACR 2025, one of Akoya's customers will present real-world data generated using IO60, showcasing its power in:

    • Deep immune phenotyping
    • Tumor microenvironment (TME) profiling
    • Translating biomarker discovery across oncology pipelines

    "Seeing our partners generate impactful insights using IO60 is the strongest validation of our platform's potential," said Brian McKelligon, Chief Executive Officer of Akoya. "This is how spatial biology becomes translational—by helping researchers get closer to patient-relevant outcomes."

    Visit Akoya at AACR 2025 – Booth #3045

    Both innovations—the ADC-focused breast cancer panel and customer-generated data using IO60—will be featured at Booth #3045, where Akoya will highlight the full potential of spatial biology in translational research. Visit us to explore the PhenoCode panel portfolio, meet with our scientific team, and experience our latest innovations firsthand.
