Myriad Genetics discontinues part two of GeneSight study; control group deemed unreliable
MYRIAD GENETICS INC
- Part one (April 2024) showed 29% drop in all-cause hospitalizations and 39% drop in psychiatric-related hospitalizations 180 days post-GeneSight.
- Part two aimed to compare GeneSight patients vs. matched non-GeneSight control; significant baseline disparities made control group non-viable.
- Company concluded data comparing the two groups were not reliable and halted the analysis.
- GeneSight's causal role in hospitalization reduction remains unconfirmed without a valid control group.
- Company plans to publish full part one results in the near future.
