    • GRAIL announced that the FDA’s Molecular and Clinical Genetics Panel will meet on September 23, 2026, to review its Premarket Approval application for the Galleri multi-cancer early detection blood test, which uses methylation patterns and artificial intelligence to detect cancer signals and predict their origin alongside existing screening methods.
    • The PMA filing leans on extensive data from the PATHFINDER 2 study of 25,490 U.S. participants and over 70,000 participants from the NHS-Galleri trial, underscoring Galleri’s unique position as the only multi-cancer early detection test evaluated in large interventional and randomized, controlled intended-use populations.
