Pierre Fabre and Roche extend collaboration agreement on companion diagnostic development
The initial collaboration was established for the development of a robust prototype immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay as a future companion diagnostic test for W0101. The collaboration was extended to the retrospective determination of IGF-1R expression in patients enrolled in the Phase I/II clinical study.
"This collaboration with Roche, the world leader in in vitro diagnostics and tissue-based cancer diagnostics, is an important step in advancing this novel therapeutic option for cancer patients whose tumours overexpress IGF-1R," stated Dr. Alexandre Passioukov, VP Translational Medicine at Pierre Fabre Research Institute. "It is noteworthy that the IGR-1R antibody used in the diagnostic assay binds a different epitope than the antibody from the therapeutic construct, both developed by Pierre Fabre Research Institute."
