Freenome Closes $270 Million Series C Financing to Advance Novel Multiomics Blood Testing Platform for Early Cancer Detection

Freenome, a privately held biotechnology company that has pioneered a comprehensive multiomics platform for early cancer detection with a routine blood draw, announced an oversubscribed $270 million Series C financing, bringing the company's total financing to over $500 million since the company’s launch. The proceeds will be used to accelerate the PREEMPT CRC™ clinical trial for Freenome’s blood test for colorectal cancer screening and precancerous lesion detection, advance a pipeline of blood tests for both the early detection and early intervention of additional cancers, and continue building the company’s proprietary multiomics platform. PREEMPT CRC is an FDA registrational study launched in May 2020 to support approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the first front-line blood test to help the 45 million people who are currently not up-to-date on colorectal cancer screening guidelines in the U.S.
