PierianDx kondigt een meerjarenovereenkomst met Illumina aan ter ondersteuning van kankeronderzoek en -diagnostiek
Uitgebreide pan-kankertumorprofileringstests die gecombineerd moeten worden met een klinisch informaticaplatform met het potentieel om de tijd, kosten en complexiteit van klinische genoomanalyse te verminderen.
ST. LOUIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
PierianDx, een toonaangevend informaticabedrijf op het gebied van klinische genomica, kondigde vandaag een strategisch, niet-exclusief, meerjarig partnerschap aan met Illumina, Inc. om een variant interpretatie- en rapportageoplossing te bieden op basis van PierianDx’ Clinical Genomics Workspace platform en Clinical Genomics Knowledgebase voor bepaalde oncologische producten van Illumina. In het kader van de overeenkomst zullen PierianDx en Illumina klanten de mogelijkheid bieden om informaticamogelijkheden te bieden voor Illumina oncologieproducten, waaronder Illumina’s TruSight™ Tumor 170 en TruSight™ Oncology 500, die momenteel alleen bedoeld zijn voor onderzoeksdoeleinden (RUO). De samenwerking strekt zich uit tot ondersteuning van het toekomstige aanbod van Illumina’s in-vitro-diagnostische oncologie (IVD). Het bevorderen van kankerdiagnostiek en het toegankelijker maken van gerichte therapieën voor gezondheidszorgsystemen, laboratoria en patiënten wereldwijd is een belangrijk aandachtspunt van beide partijen.
PierianDx Announces Multi-Year Agreement with Illumina to Support Cancer Research and Diagnostics
Comprehensive pan-cancer tumor profiling assays to be combined with clinical informatics platform with the potential to reduce time, cost, and complexity of clinical genomic analysis
ST. LOUIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)– PierianDx, a leading clinical genomics informatics company, today announced a strategic, non-exclusive, multi-year partnership with Illumina, Inc. to provide a variant interpretation and reporting solution based on PierianDx’s Clinical Genomics Workspace platform and Clinical Genomics Knowledgebase for select Illumina oncology products. Under the agreement, PierianDx and Illumina will offer customers the option of informatics capabilities for Illumina oncology products, including Illumina’s TruSight™ Tumor 170 and TruSight™ Oncology 500, which are currently intended for research use only (RUO). The partnership extends to support Illumina’s future oncology in vitro diagnostic (IVD) offerings. Advancing cancer diagnostics and making targeted therapeutics more accessible to healthcare systems, laboratories, and patients worldwide is a key focus of both parties.
“Accessibility of genomic testing in clinical oncology is critical to realizing the promise of immuno- and targeted therapies and personalized medicine,” stated Rakesh Nagarajan, MD, PhD, Founder and Executive Chairman, PierianDx. “Today, few laboratories have the ability to offer comprehensive tumor profiling because of the complexities associated with validating large NGS assays and interpreting genomic results. This agreement between PierianDx and Illumina has the potential to provide laboratories clinically optimized solutions that may accelerate assay validation and deployment and simplify genomic interpretation.”
“The combination of Illumina’s comprehensive tumor profiling assays with PierianDx’s variant interpretation and reporting solutions will provide customers with a seamless experience,” said Garret Hampton, PhD, Executive Vice President of Clinical Genomics at Illumina.
“PierianDx is thrilled to receive this substantial validation of our genomics Software as a Service (‘SaaS’) platform by a global leader in our space. Our relationship with Illumina will allow us to greatly accelerate our U.S. and international strategic plans as we seek to be the wisdom behind every genomics report,” said Michael L. Sanderson, CEO of PierianDx.
Under the agreement Illumina and its affiliates will be responsible for the distribution of the RUO oncology products and packaged solutions. Laboratories that purchase the RUO products from Illumina will have an option to receive from PierianDx standardized reporting, driven by professional guidelines for streamlined case review and sign-out. In addition, laboratories who purchase the bundled RUO oncology product with the PierianDx informatics solution will receive access to PierianDx’s Clinical Genomics Workspace for analysis, interpretation, and reporting of genomic results. Laboratories will also have the opportunity to engage PierianDx for additional services such as genomic interpretation, medical sign-out, and electronic medical record integration.
