*In a study of 1750 patients who died of CRC between 2006 and 2012.
†Data from real-world clinical settings between May 2022 and June 2024 based on Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) usage of Shield, prior to FDA approval.
‡Based on 2 studies. Study 1 compared screening completion with “usual careˮ (fecal immunochemical test [FIT] and colonoscopy), and an “interventionˮ (usual care + Shield) in over 1000 patients, age 45-75 years, who initially were offered but did not complete FIT in the previous 3 to 9 months at a large, integrated health system. Study 2 compared adherence to standard of care vs Shield use in <250 patients age 45-84 years at 2 primary care clinics affiliated with a large, not-for-profit integrated regional health system. All data based on LDT usage of Shield in 2022 and 2023 (Study 1) and 2024 (Study 2), prior to FDA approval.
