[{"type":"text","content":"Taipei, Taiwan, Dec. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YD Bio Limited (“YD Bio” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: YDES), a biotechnology company advancing DNA methylation-based cancer detection technology and ophthalmologic innovations, today provided an update to its November 5, 2025 announcement regarding U.S. access to the OkaiDx™ platform for post‑treatment breast cancer monitoring, detailing the continued expansion of OkaiDx™ blood‑based testing platform to pancreatic and colorectal cancer detections while presenting new clinical advances in early pancreatic cancer detection. Building on the Company’s previously announced support for the research‑use‑only OkaiDx breast cancer monitoring assay available through EG BioMed’s CLIA/CAP‑certified laboratory, YD Bio and its affiliate have broadened clinical service availability of the OkaiDx platform in the United States. The Company now offers blood‑based testing services for pancreatic and colorectal cancer detection across 44 states through EG BioMed’s accredited laboratory in Washington. Access is supported by a nationwide telehealth physician network that provides virtual consultations, test authorization, and ongoing patient support, together with an at‑home blood collection partner that streamlines sample collection and logistics for patients and research collaborators. To extend reach in family primary care and women’s health settings, YD Bio and EG BioMed have executed new memorandums of understanding with multiple medical groups. These partnerships integrate OkaiDx testing into everyday clinical workflows and expand access for individuals who may benefit from proactive detection and monitoring in the U.S. The Company would also like to share important updated data from YD Bio’s affiliate EG BioMed US Inc.’s ongoing study of the OkaiDx Detect Pancreatic Cancer Test, conducted under Taipei Medical University-JIRB approval (IRB ID: N202105091). The assay demonstrated 93.8% sensitivity for early‑stage (stage I–II) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), 100% sensitivity in late‑stage PDAC, 97.3% specificity in healthy individuals, and 97.7% overall accuracy in a study of 100 PDAC patients and 500 healthy controls. These data underscore the potential of cfDNA methylation biomarkers, including ZFP30, to improve detection at earlier stages when treatment options may be more effective. The...
