ClearNote Health Receives First In Vitro Diagnostic Approval for its Avantect ® Pancreatic Cancer Test
'Achieving UKCA marking for the Avantect Pancreatic Cancer Test is a significant milestone as the first in vitro diagnostic approval for ClearNote Health,' said Dave Mullarkey, CEO at ClearNote Health.
The Avantect Pancreatic Cancer Test is an innovative blood test designed to detect pancreatic cancer at its earliest and most treatable stages. The test analyzes epigenomic and genomic data generated by sequencing circulating, cell-free DNA collected from a simple blood draw. It is designed to be part of a diagnostic evaluation, interpreted in the context of other clinical findings for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
As many as 15,000 patients in the UK recently gained access to the Avantect Pancreatic Cancer Test through the Surveillance of pAncreatic health aFter diabEtes Diagnosis (SAFE-D) study. This landmark clinical trial is sponsored by the University Hospital Southampton, NHS Foundation Trust, and is being conducted by researchers at the Southampton Clinical Trials Unit at the University of Southampton. The UKCA mark paves the way for ClearNote Health and its distributors to offer the Avantect Pancreatic Cancer Test to UK patients who are not participating in the SAFE-D study.
'Achieving UKCA marking for the Avantect Pancreatic Cancer Test is a significant milestone as the first in vitro diagnostic approval for ClearNote Health,' said Dave Mullarkey, CEO at ClearNote Health. 'It represents the company's transition from laboratory-developed tests to formally regulated commercial diagnostics, reinforcing our commitment to quality, clinical rigor, and global regulatory standards. This approval lays the foundation for additional international expansion and broader patient access.'

Auxia Announces New AI Analyst Agent to Help Marketing Teams Convert Campaign Data Into Revenue Insights
PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Auxia, the first Agentic Customer Journey Orchestration Platform, today announced major advancements to its Analyst Agent, transforming how enterprise marketing teams access, interpret, and act on campaign data. With a natural language interface and real-time analytics, the enhanced Analyst Agent helps teams instantly uncover the 'why' behind campaign performance — unlocking insights that once required weeks of data science work. Simple questions like 'Which groups of customers converted at the highest rate?' now get immediate answers with clear, visual explanations. Instead of navigating manual dashboards or waiting weeks for an ad-hoc analysis, marketers can now uncover which customer cohorts respond best to specific content variations, identify the most effective upsell opportunities, and discover hidden patterns that maximize revenue. 'The future of marketing is agentic, with AI systems that provide 10x productivity gains by enabling non-technical users to directly access powerful insights,' said Ravi Desu, Auxia's chief technical officer and co-founder. 'But that future only works if marketers can understand and trust what's driving performance. Our enhanced Analyst Agent unlocks those insights, giving teams transparent access to the intelligence that matters most.' Solving the 'Black Box' Problem with AI-Decisioning This addresses a critical challenge facing marketing teams: while AI-powered programs deliver superior performance, the 'why' behind those results has remained locked away in complex, 'black box' systems. Marketing teams previously had to rely on data science or analyst resources to understand what was driving their campaign performance. Now, they can simply ask questions directly. Questions like 'What acquisition channels converted at the highest rate?' or 'How did our email variants perform across different geographic segments?' get immediate, contextual answers that help them optimize for maximum revenue impact. Three Breakthrough Capabilities for Enterprise Marketers The enhanced Analyst Agent delivers three major advantages for enterprise marketing teams. Unlike traditional analysis tools, it connects directly to Auxia's AI Decisioning engine and optimization systems. It surfaces hidden performance drivers, down to specific audiences or creative variants, and continuously learns from user interactions. Over time, it builds a knowledge base of team insights, enabling smarter, faster decisions with every use. Speed: Replace weeks of analyst work with instant, conversational feedback. Marketers can iterate as fast as their ideas, accelerating testing and decision-making with AI. Intelligence Without Effort: No technical skills required. Marketers can explore nuanced results by customer segment, content type, region, or many other variables. Enterprise Security and Reliability: The agent connects directly to customer data systems with enterprise-grade security and compliance, ensuring data never leaks across companies while operating at scale across initiatives, audience segments, and customer groups. Additionally, every interaction with the enhanced Analyst Agent contributes to an enterprise's growing knowledge base that continuously adapts to each team's specific needs and context. This memory system enables the agent to recall prior analyses, build on previous insights, and proactively surface relevant patterns, creating team knowledge that builds over time rather than starting from scratch with each query. The new Analyst Agent capabilities are currently available to select Auxia customers, with a broader rollout planned for summer 2025. Companies interested in learning how Auxia can help transform their customer journeys can visit About Auxia Auxia is an Agentic Marketing Platform that enables marketing and product teams at large enterprises to leverage all of their first-party data to seamlessly orchestrate 1:1, adaptive, hyper-personalized customer journeys.
