New AI-driven test provides actionable insights for patients experiencing biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy

Artera, a developer of multimodal AI-based prognostic and predictive cancer tests, today announced the commercial launch of the ArteraAI Prostate Test (Post‑RP) for patients experiencing biochemical recurrence (BCR) following radical prostatectomy.

The test builds on the established ArteraAI platform and delivers prognostic results and insights into short-term ADT benefit to optimize decision-making in the salvage therapy setting, where additional treatment is given if cancer returns after surgery.

After radical prostatectomy, PSA should be undetectable. A rising PSA after surgery can indicate biochemical recurrence, suggesting residual cancer cells may remain. With an estimated 20% to 40% of patients affected, the test now delivers personalized, AI-driven data to this previously underserved population, expanding access to advanced precision medicine.

“The launch of the ArteraAI Prostate Test (Post-RP) is a significant milestone in Artera’s continued growth,” said Andre Esteva, CEO of Artera. “This expansion broadens our portfolio, extends our reach to an underserved patient population, and strengthens our partnerships across the healthcare ecosystem. As demand for responsible AI in oncology accelerates, we remain focused on scaling access, delivering measurable value to clinicians, and ensuring our technology reaches the patients who need it most.”

This test is based on the robust data presented at the 2024 AUA Annual Meeting, which showed that ArteraAI’s MMAI-based prostate biomarker can accurately estimate the risk of metastasis and help predict which men may benefit from intensified salvage therapy, including hormone therapy plus radiation.

“There is a continued need to optimize treatment for men with post-prostatectomy BCR, especially in understanding which patients benefit from ADT when undergoing salvage radiation,” said Todd Morgan, urological surgeon and Chief of Urologic Oncology at Michigan Medicine. “This test has substantial promise for helping individualize these treatment decisions.”

As with all Artera products, the ArteraAI Prostate Test (Post‑RP) integrates seamlessly into standard pathology workflows, enabling rapid turnaround and broad accessibility. The test relies on the digitized image of the surgical specimen, preserving the resected tissue while delivering actionable insights to guide personalized treatment decisions.

The launch of the ArteraAI Prostate Test (Post-RP) reinforces Artera’s mission to advance the frontier of precision oncology, offering a timely, cost-effective tool that complements clinical assessments for patients with recurrent prostate cancer.

The ArteraAI Prostate Test (Post‑RP) is now available for commercial ordering nationwide. For more information, visit artera.ai.

About Artera

Artera is a global leader in precision medicine, leveraging multimodal artificial intelligence (MMAI) to personalize cancer care. Artera’s MMAI platform leverages a patient’s digitized histopathology images along with the patient’s clinical data to determine cancer aggressiveness and predict therapy benefit. This approach has been validated in multiple Phase 3 randomized trials, across different cancers, and is available in multiple versions across the globe.

Artera’s flagship product, the ArteraAI Prostate Test, is commercially available as a laboratory-developed test in the US and internationally through its distribution partners. The ArteraAI Prostate Test is the first of its kind to deliver both prognostic and predictive insights for patients with prostate cancer, empowering clinicians and patients to make more informed treatment decisions.

Additional MMAI-powered products include the ArteraAI Breast Test (UKCA), the ArteraAI Prostate Biopsy Assay (UKCA), and ArteraAI Prostate (FDA). Artera has regulatory authorization for its medical device product in the US and UK.

Artera’s headquarters is based in Los Altos, California, while its CLIA-certified and clinical laboratory is located in Jacksonville, Florida. For more information about Artera, visit artera.ai.
