Our History
The CNSide® Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Assay Platform was originally developed as a more sensitive and informative method for detecting and analyzing cancer cells in CSF compared to traditional CSF cytology. CNSide® was initially launched in the U.S. by another company as a commercial assay in 2021. In 2022 and 2023, Plus Therapeutics partnered with and licensed the CNSide® technology from that company to support its own ReSPECT-LM clinical trials and potential commercialization of the REYOBIQ targeted radiotherapeutics for Leptomeningeal Metastases (LM). Plus Therapeutics acquired all CNSide® assets and established a new subsidiary, CNSide® Diagnostics, LLC, in 2024. The company is now focused on commercializing the CNSide® CSF Assay Platform, starting with the Tumor Cell Enumeration (TCE) test in the state of Texas in 2025.
