Harbinger Health Establishes RESOLVE™
as a New Category for Cancer Detection
Announces $100M financing to develop a portfolio of multi-cancer tests
designed to reduce diagnostic uncertainty and delays
Financing also supports further development of the Harbinger HX platform
and evidence generation for a portfolio of category-defining solutions for cancer detection
Cambridge, MA – April 14, 2026 – Harbinger Health, a biotechnology company pioneering cancer resolution, today announced RESOLVE™, a new category of blood-based multi-cancer detection tests designed to bring clarity to the often-uncertain period between suspicion of cancer and diagnosis, with the first products expected to be commercially available in the second half of 2026. The company’s $100 million financing raised in 2025 supports the development of the initial product portfolio, the ongoing PROCARES prospective validation study, and advancement of the Harbinger HX platform. The financing was led by the company’s founder, Flagship Pioneering, and included all existing investors.
Approximately 80% of all cancers are diagnosed following the presentation of symptoms that are often confounding1. Yet, people who present with cancer symptoms wait an average of five months for a diagnosis2 while mortality can increase by up to 8% for every month of delay in starting treatment3. RESOLVE™ is a new category of multi-cancer detection solutions intended to address this critical gap between presentation and diagnosis. Powered by the Harbinger HX platform, RESOLVE™ is designed to minimize false negatives that can allow early cancers to go undetected, avoid false positives that place unnecessary burden on patients and healthcare systems and provide actionable information on the cancer tissue of origin. Together, these attributes enable faster clinical decision-making when cancer is suspected.
“For most people who present with concerning symptoms, signs or findings, it takes months to get to a diagnosis, and mortality increases significantly with each month that goes by,” said Ajit Singh, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Harbinger Health and Flagship Pioneering CEO-Partner. “RESOLVE™ helps clinicians move more quickly and confidently from cancer suspicion to diagnosis in people who show signs of disease, even in its earliest stages. The results from our first clinical study showed that we have a real opportunity to reset the starting line to diagnosis across multiple cancers, effectively shortening the time to treatment. This infusion of additional capital supported the pivotal PROCARES study, development of multiple RESOLVE™ products and advancement of our platform towards its full potential.”
PROCARES (NCT07046260) is an ongoing, prospective, multicenter, observational study aimed at validating Harbinger’s RESOLVE test in patients undergoing evaluation for suspected cancer. The study is intended to establish clinical performance in resolving cancer suspicion and supporting next-step decision-making in patients with symptoms, signs or findings suggestive of one or more cancers that lack effective non-invasive diagnostic tools. The study is approaching full enrollment, with more than 88% of participants enrolled to date. PROCARES follows Harbinger’s completed CORE-HH (NCT05435066) study that demonstrated clinically meaningful performance in detecting multiple cancers and strong specificity in asymptomatic individuals, supporting a low false-positive rate across multiple cancer types.
Doug Cole, M.D., Co-Founder and Board Director of Harbinger Health and Managing Partner, Flagship Pioneering, added, “We are grateful to have the continued support of our investors who share our conviction in Harbinger’s platform and team to open new and distinct possibilities in blood-based cancer detection. Since its founding, Harbinger has pioneered technology and methods that seek to address the most difficult challenges in cancer detection: performance, clinical utility and access. Harbinger’s progress, coupled with this latest funding and ongoing clinical evidence generation, will fuel development of products that we believe will ultimately result in earlier therapeutic interventions for millions of people touched by cancer each year.”
