March 2020
The COVID-19 response has required the cancellation of the annual meeting of The Endocrine Society, at which Dr. Schaufele and Dr. Krylova had been scheduled to present XCellAssay studies. The Endocrine Society currently is considering alternative mechanisms to present “Advantages and Limitations of an Integrative Measurement for All Serum Androgens and Anti-Androgens” (from Dr. Schaufele and UCSF collaborators Dr. Armaiti and Dr. Huddleston) and “Dynamic Structural Model of Testosterone Entry into the Unliganded Androgen Receptor” (from Drs. Krylova, Schaufele and Guilbert).

XCellAssay announces the continuation of funding by the Partnership for Clean Competition (PCC) for the development of our technology for identifying persons exposed to known or unknown androgens or anabolic androgenic steroids. The PCC, which was founded by the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee, the US Anti-Doping Agency, the National Football League and Major League Baseball, has awarded three research studies by Dr. Schaufele to develop the measurement capability as part of the PCC’s mission “to help generate the world’s most influential, effective and coveted methods and resources for detecting and deterring the use of performance enhancing substances by all athletes in all sports at all levels”.

Dr. Schaufele and his UCSF collaborators Drs. Armaiti and Huddleston will present the abstract “Advantages and Limitations of an Integrative Measurement for All Serum Androgens and Anti-Androgens” at the 2020 annual meeting of The Endocrine Society. The paper will describe the supporting data validating the androgen measurement technique for serum samples and its applications for detecting elevated androgen levels in patients with a PCOS diagnosis compared to women not meeting formal PCOS criteria.

XCellAssay announces renewal of its agreement for the right to negotiate an exclusive license with the UCSF Office of Innovation Ventures for the technology covered in US Patent #10,324,099 (Inventor, Dr. Fred Schaufele, co-Founder, XCellAssay). A prior freedom to operate analysis conducted with the Startup Legal Garage program of the University of California Hastings College of the Law indicated that no patents or patent applications were found at the time of the report that “appear to have issued claims or claims that are likely to issue that should be infringed by the XCA’s Product”.
