Item 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure
 
On October 20, 2026, Freenome, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release titled “Freenome Expands Personalized Cancer Detection Portfolio, Launching SimpleScreen™ Lung Test With FDA-Approved SimpleScreen CRC Option.” A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto) is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01.
Other Events
 
On October 20, 2026, the Company announced the launch of SimpleScreen™ Lung and a first-of-its-kind offering that enables eligible patients to be screened for both lung and colorectal cancer (“CRC”) through a single blood draw, using two independently validated, indication-specific tests. The Company’s Personalized Cancer Detection approach combines risk-based screening with a portfolio of single-cancer and multi-cancer tests that are developed specifically for each population and to meet individual patient screening needs.

SimpleScreen Lung was clinically validated in a case-control study of adults ages 50 to 80 with a ≥20 pack-year smoking history who meet American Cancer Society (“ACS”) lung cancer screening eligibility. In an independent cohort of 172 lung cancer cases and 436 controls, the test achieved 85% sensitivity at 50% specificity and a 99.8% negative predictive value (“NPV”). This NPV means that approximately two of every 1,000 people with a negative result would be expected to have lung cancer. Sensitivity was 82% for stage I, 75% for stage II, 91% for stage III, and 94% for stage IV.

Performance estimates were adjusted to reflect target distributions of age, sex, lung cancer stage and histologic subtype. The intended use population includes former smokers regardless of how long ago they quit, consistent with the 2023 ACS lung cancer screening guideline update.

In the Company’s PREEMPT CRC study, which enrolled more than 48,000 participants, the test demonstrated 81% sensitivity for CRC, 90% specificity for advanced colorectal neoplasia, and a 99.9% NPV in an analysis adjusted to the 2020 U.S. Census age and sex distribution.

Exhibit 99.1


Freenome Expands Personalized Cancer Detection Portfolio, Launching SimpleScreen™ Lung Test With FDA-Approved
SimpleScreen CRC Option

– Personalized Cancer Detection provides flexible approach to cover multiple types of cancer screening in a single blood draw –

– In an independent cohort, SimpleScreen Lung showed 85% sensitivity at 50% specificity and a 99.8% negative predictive value for lung cancer in its intended use population –

BRISBANE, Calif. (Oct. 20, 2026) — Freenome, Inc. (Nasdaq: FRNM), an early cancer detection company developing blood-based tests, today announced the launch of SimpleScreen™ Lung and a first-of-its-kind offering that enables eligible patients to be screened for both lung and colorectal cancer (CRC) through a single blood draw, using two independently validated, indication-specific tests. Freenome’s Personalized Cancer Detection (PCD) approach combines risk-based screening with a portfolio of single-cancer and multi-cancer tests that are developed specifically for each population and to meet individual patient screening needs.
 
SimpleScreen Lung is a laboratory-developed test intended for adults ages 50 to 80 with a ≥20 pack-year smoking history who are not currently participating in guideline-recommended screening. It can be ordered independently or alongside the FDA-approved SimpleScreen™ CRC test when average-risk patients are also eligible for blood-based CRC screening. Together, these tests offer patients and providers an opportunity to address one or both screening needs in a single encounter, with the potential to expand access and improve screening participation.
 
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and less than 20% of people (more than 10 million individuals) eligible for lung cancer screening are up to date with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), the standard-of-care screening method.1 Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death,2,3 and nearly two in five eligible adults – up to 60 million people in the U.S. – are not up to date with CRC screening.4
 
“Lung cancer screening can save lives, but its potential depends on reaching people who are eligible,” said Douglas Flora, M.D., the executive medical director of oncology services for St. Elizabeth Healthcare in Kentucky and president-elect of the Association of Cancer Care Centers. “When so many people are not up to date, we need to understand what is keeping them from participating and consider new approaches. A blood-based test adds a practical option to our patient conversations and helps us make progress toward our goal of connecting more eligible people with screening and getting them to take the next step.”
 
SimpleScreen Lung was clinically validated in a case-control study of adults ages 50 to 80 with a ≥20 pack-year smoking history who meet American Cancer Society (ACS) lung cancer screening eligibility.5 In an independent cohort of 172 lung cancer cases and 436 controls, the test achieved 85% sensitivity at 50% specificity and a 99.8% negative predictive value (NPV). This NPV means that about two of every 1,000 people with a negative result would be expected to have lung cancer. Sensitivity was 82% for stage I, 75% for stage II, 91% for stage III, and 94% for stage IV.
 
Performance estimates were adjusted to reflect target distributions of age, sex, lung cancer stage and histologic subtype. The intended use population includes former smokers regardless of how long ago they quit, consistent with the 2023 ACS lung cancer screening guideline update.
 
A person who qualifies for lung cancer screening may also be eligible for CRC screening. During a patient visit, a provider can discuss both screening needs and, when appropriate, add SimpleScreen CRC to a SimpleScreen Lung order. The Freenome-developed SimpleScreen CRC is FDA-approved for adults 45 and older at average risk, is included in the ACS CRC screening guideline, and meets Medicare coverage criteria. Abbott has exclusive U.S. commercial rights to SimpleScreen CRC when it is ordered as a standalone test. In the PREEMPT CRC® study, which enrolled more than 48,000 participants, the test demonstrated 81% sensitivity for CRC, 90% specificity for advanced colorectal neoplasia, and a 99.9% NPV in an analysis adjusted to the 2020 U.S. Census age and sex distribution.6
 
“SimpleScreen CRC proved what our discovery platform can achieve for colorectal cancer screening, and expanding into lung cancer screening is the next step in extending this science to broader patient populations,” said Aaron Elliott, Ph.D., CEO of Freenome. “By coupling indication-specific screens together, we make it vastly easier for patients to say yes to screening. As our portfolio grows, Personalized Cancer Detection will offer clinicians more screening options and enable health systems to provide more comprehensive coverage without adding complexity to existing clinical workflows.”
 
Freenome will be introducing the SimpleScreen portfolio and the PCD approach to attendees at booth 2705 at the American Academy of Family Physicians Family Medicine Experience (FMX) conference, Oct. 20 to 24 in Nashville.
 
About the SimpleScreen Portfolio
 
SimpleScreen CRC is a cancer screening option for colorectal cancer. It uses a simple blood draw and detects signals associated with CRC from cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the blood. The test is indicated for adults aged 45 years and older who are at average risk for CRC and referred by a healthcare provider for CRC screening. A positive result indicates a signal was detected that may suggest the presence of colorectal cancer or advanced precancerous lesions and should be followed by colonoscopy. SimpleScreen CRC is not a replacement for diagnostic colonoscopy or for surveillance colonoscopy in high-risk individuals.
 
The SimpleScreen Lung laboratory-developed test has not been reviewed or cleared/approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
