A reproducible index of liquid-biopsy innovation from 2008 to 2026: the shape of the field by application area, the patents behind it and the clinical trials testing it. Every number traces back to a source record.
Explore The Index
Research
36,072 in-scope papers, 2008 to 2026. Year-over-year growth decomposed by application area, analyte, geography, and impact.
Patents
10,884 in-scope granted inventions, de-duplicated by patent family, in a US-anchored landscape plus a separate China-only view, with 1,366 still-pending US applications alongside.
Clinical Trials
4,281 registered trials whose registrations describe liquid-biopsy work, classified by what each asks of the test: a test trial, a treatment selection trial, an eligibility selection trial, or a correlative study trial.
