Dr. Milligan, with her in-depth knowledge of Aspira's technology and vision, is expected to guide the company's ongoing growth strategy. Aspira Women's Health is known for its AI-powered, noninvasive tests for diagnosing gynecologic diseases, including its OvaSuite portfolio, which aids in ovarian cancer risk detection.

The OvaWatch assay, part of the OvaSuite, provides a 99% negative predictive value and is designed for women with indeterminate or benign adnexal masses, potentially reducing unnecessary surgeries. Ova1Plus, another component of OvaSuite, is a combination of two FDA-cleared tests, Ova1 and Overa, used to assess ovarian malignancy risk in women scheduled for surgery.

Aspira is also developing non-invasive diagnostics for endometriosis and aims to enhance its ovarian cancer tests' sensitivity and specificity by integrating microRNA and protein biomarkers with patient data.

In other recent news, Aspira Women's Health reported a 2% increase in OvaSuite revenue to $2.3 million in Q3 2024, along with a 4% growth in test volume. The company also announced a significant collaboration on ovarian cancer detection and a $10 million federal award from ARPA-H for the development of ENDOinform, a test for endometriosis. Aspira's financial performance saw a decrease in R&D expenses and general and administrative costs, while sales and marketing expenses rose due to increased personnel costs.

The company is focusing on expanding its ovarian cancer portfolio and enhancing commercial capabilities. As part of this strategy, Aspira has partnered with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical (TASE:PMCN) School to improve early-stage ovarian cancer detection methods.

In terms of future expectations, Aspira plans to accelerate the development of ENDOinform and OVAinform with ARPA-H support, aiming to complete their objectives within the two-year funding period. The company also anticipates future partnerships in endometriosis therapies and increased investment in women's health. These recent developments reflect Aspira Women's Health's continued commitment to advancing diagnostic options for women's health.
