What are SomaSignal® tests?

Clinically meaningful metrics

  • 21 quantitative clinical metrics
  • Relevant to cardiovascular disease, NASH, diabetes, and more
  • Reporting current health state and understanding risk

Derived from just a 55-µL sample

  • Simple and simultaneous sampling for all tests
  • Derived from models based on proteomic signatures
  • Validated against standard clinical measurement

For simple, straightforward clinical trial monitoring

  • Simple blood test enables frequent sampling
  • Does not require specialized physicians/pathologists
  • Simple blood draw is ideal for longitudinal studies

How were they developed?

The SomaSignal tests are developed by analyzing thousands of proteins in thousands of patients using the SomaScan Assay. Protein signatures revealed by the SomaScan Assay are compared against standard clinical measurements in order to identify patterns of protein changes that correlate with current health status and future trajectory using machine learning. Each pattern becomes the basis for a specific SomaSignal test. Because each SomaSignal test is generated using a subset of the 7,000 proteins measured by the SomaScan Assay, results for all of the SomaSignal tests can be derived from a single 55-μl blood sample.
