Artera Receives U.S. FDA De Novo Marketing Authorization for AI-Digital Pathology Software Revolutionizing Prostate Cancer Care

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Artera, the developer of multimodal artificial intelligence (MMAI)-based prognostic and predictive cancer tests, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted De Novo authorization for ArteraAI Prostate, establishing it as the first and only AI-powered software authorized to prognosticate long-term outcomes for patients with non-metastatic prostate cancer. ArteraAI Prostate is now recognized as an FDA-regulated Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). The technology's De Novo authorization establishes a new product code category for future AI-powered digital pathology risk-stratification tools, and enables its implementation at the point of diagnosis at qualified pathology labs in the U.S. This capability addresses a critical gap in prostate cancer care by reducing delays in delivering actionable insights at diagnosis, helping clinicians and patients make informed treatment decisions with greater confidence. 'This is a defining moment for AI in cancer care,' said Andre Esteva, CEO and co-founder of Artera. 'The FDA's decision validates the power of our MMAI platform to deliver on our vision to create AI-guided tools that enable data-backed and tailored treatments for each patient, leading to more confidence throughout the cancer journey, and ultimately, save more lives.' 'This approval highlights the groundswell of excitement surrounding the incorporation of AI into clinical practice flows. We need to utilize deep learning AI models to augment and better refine what a pathologist is able to report and Artera is leading the charge,' said Dr. Adam Cole, Founder and CSO at TruCore Pathology Group. 'As the demand for pathology services continues to outpace available capacity, tools like ArteraAI Prostate are critical. Implementing this software enhances our ability to deliver personalized insights more quickly, improves workflow efficiency, and allows us to scale services while increasing the quality of care.' Earning FDA De Novo authorization is a rare achievement, designed for novel medical innovations. This accomplishment marks yet another milestone for Artera, spotlighting its leadership and unwavering commitment to scientific rigor and excellence. Notably, the FDA authorization includes a Predetermined Change Control Plan, granting Artera the ability to expand platform capabilities through validating compatibility with additional digital pathology scanners without requiring further 510(k) submissions. The De Novo authorization for ArteraAI Prostate follows its earlier Breakthrough Device Designation. While the De Novo authorization applies specifically to the ArteraAI Prostate medical device software, Artera's underlying MMAI platform is also commercially available through the ArteraAI Prostate Test, as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT). With this milestone, Artera continues to expand its pipeline of MMAI-powered software to support personalized cancer care. To learn more, visit 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 biopsy images along with the patient's clinical data to determine cancer aggressiveness and predict therapy benefit.

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.

Paxos is applying to become a US bank — Here's why that matters

Paxos, the company that issues PayPal's $1 billion stablecoin, has applied for a national trust bank charter in the US, becoming the latest crypto company to pursue becoming a Federally-regulated bank in the US. It's a move that could give Paxos a gloss of establishment respectability, and a direct presence in America's financial sector. If approved, Paxos will be able to operate across the US without navigating the patchwork of local banking licences. However, while an approval would allow Paxos to hold customer assets and settle transactions, it won't act as a traditional lender that can accept deposits and issue loans. Paxos' charter application comes at a time when Washington, under the Trump administration, has warmed up to crypto. In July, President Donald Trump signed the Genius Act into law, effectively legalising stablecoins in the US. Circle and Ripple Paxos is the latest crypto company to pursue banking charter status. Circle and Ripple both applied earlier this summer. Chris Colson, payments guru at the Atlanta Federal Reserve, told DL News that an approval would enhance trust in their respective stablecoins. 'It potentially paves the way for broader institutional and cross-border adoption,' he said. Yet, those US banking charter ambitions rely on the hope that the regulatory thaw has extended to the US Treasury Department's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the agency that licenses and supervises all national banks. An OCC charter has been a tough nut to crack for crypto companies. Only one firm, Anchorage Digital, has been able to scale the process. Paxos itself tried to obtain a national bank charter in 2020 but its application stalled and expired in 2023. Earlier in August, the stablecoin issuer settled with the New York Department of Financial Services for $26.5 million over its alleged failure to conduct due diligence on Binance. Paxos was the issuer behind Binance's BUSD stablecoin, which once peaked at $23 billion in market value. Crypto market movers Bitcoin is down 1.4% over the past 24 hours and is trading at $118,433. Ethereum is up 2.6% in the same period to $4,295.
