HAYWARD, Calif., April 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Predicine, Inc., a leading molecular insights company, today announced a collaboration with Apollomics, Inc. This collaboration aims to advance the development of PredicineCARE™, a blood cell-free DNA (cfDNA) next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay, to identify non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who may benefit from targeted therapy.
PredicineCARE™ was granted Breakthrough Device Designation (BDD) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on August 23, 2022. PredicineCARE™ is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art NGS assay that interrogates point mutations/indels, fusions, amplifications, and deletions in key cancer-associated genes using cfDNA from liquid biopsy samples such as blood and urine.
