Qiagen

Qiagen obtained CE marking for its Therascreen PIK3CA RGQ PCR kit to aid in identifying breast cancer patients with a PIK3CA mutation.

The companies will develop tissue-based companion diagnostics for Amgen's investigational treatment AMG 510 for non-small cell lung cancer.

The center will use Qiagen Clinical Insight to analyze, interpret, and report molecular screening of cancer patients to help identify targeted therapies and clinical trial options.

Novartis' alpelisib is the first PI3K inhibitor approved for advanced or metastatic breast cancer patients who harbor PIK3CA mutations.

The test will guide clinical decision making related to Inovio's DNA-based immunotherapy to treat cervical dysplasia caused by human papillomavirus.

The firm hopes for a decision from the FDA later this year for its breast cancer drug candidate alpelisib, following results from a late-stage trial.

Qiagen's test is intended to identify advanced bladder cancer patients with alterations in FGFR3 or FGFR2 genes and who are likely to respond to erdafitinib.

Qiagen's test detects the most frequently occurring somatic mutations in EGFR in less than four hours using real-time PCR on the Rotor-Gene Q platform.
