Insights
ProPhase's patent approval strengthens its position in esophageal cancer diagnostics following strong BE-Smart test validation, enhancing commercialization potential.
ProPhase Labs has secured a critical intellectual property milestone with the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12379378-B2, which protects their biomarker-based systems for assessing progression risk in Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. This patent approval comes at a strategically valuable time, following the company's recent validation of their -� diagnostic test that demonstrated an impressive
The patent specifically covers detection methods for key biomarkers including ISG15, LTF, CNDP2, DAD1, SET, UBE2N, S100P, and GPI � forming the scientific foundation of the -� platform. What makes this particularly valuable is the test's validated compatibility with both brush cytology and forceps biopsies, offering flexible sampling approaches that can enhance early detection capabilities.
This dual-compatibility approach is technically significant as it addresses different clinical needs: brush biopsies provide broader epithelial cell sampling while forceps biopsies enable targeted tissue examination. This versatility should facilitate wider clinical adoption and potentially easier integration into existing gastroenterology workflows.
The comprehensive scope of the patent, which includes not only diagnostic applications but also potential treatment approaches (inhibiting cancer cell proliferation/migration and enhancing tumor susceptibility to cytotoxic therapies), creates multiple commercialization avenues. By securing this intellectual property protection approximately 20 months after the December 2023 filing date, ProPhase has established a competitive barrier in the esophageal diagnostics market that will likely strengthen their market position as they move toward commercialization.

UNIONDALE, NY, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ProPhase Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRPH) (the “Company� or “ProPhase�) today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. Patent No. 12379378-B2 for the Company’s biomarker-based systems and methods to assess progression risk in Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. The patent issuance closely follows ProPhase’s June 17, 2025 announcement validating its BE-Smart� molecular diagnostic, which achieved greater than a
Brush biopsies can capture a broader, more representative epithelial cell population, while forceps biopsies provide targeted tissue sampling; by working with both, BE‑Smart is designed to enhance early detection and risk stratification in patients with GERD, Barrett’s esophagus, and other distal esophageal disorders.
U.S. Patent No. 12379378-B2, originally filed on December 7, 2023, was developed by inventors Joe Abdo, Sumeet K. Mittal, and Devendra K. Agrawal. The patent covers systems and methods for assessing the risk of Barrett's esophagus pathogenesis and esophageal adenocarcinoma progression by detecting key biomarkers such as ISG15, LTF, CNDP2, DAD1, SET, UBE2N, S100P, and GPI, and it underpins the Company’s BE-Smart� test platform.
Issuance of this patent underscores the strong scientific foundation and clinical relevance of ProPhase Labs� technology. Beyond risk assessment, these patented methods also enable novel treatment approaches - including inhibiting cancer cell proliferation and migration and enhancing tumor susceptibility to cytotoxic therapies - and support more accurate, earlier identification of patients at elevated risk.
