HAYWARD, Calif., April 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Predicine, Inc., a leading molecular insights company, announced the release of its innovative PredicineCARE™ NGS Kit. This offering presents a research-use-only (RUO) next-generation sequencing (NGS) kit packaged for genomic profiling across various cancers, facilitating global applications in clinical trials, companion diagnostics (CDx) development, and patient testing.
The PredicineCARE™ NGS assay was granted Breakthrough Device Designation (BDD) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on August 23, 2022. This newly introduced PredicineCARE™ NGS kit integrates a comprehensive, state-of-the-art NGS assay capable of detecting point mutations, indels, fusions, amplifications, and deletions in key cancer-associated genes. It harnesses cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from liquid biopsy samples such as blood and urine, along with genomic DNA from FFPE tissues.
“We are delighted to present the PredicineCARE™ NGS Kit specifically tailored to address the evolving needs of pharmaceutical companies and testing laboratories seeking decentralized lab testing options,” said Dr. Shidong Jia, Predicine’s Founder, Chairman, and CEO. “Predicine’s centralized global lab network coupled with the decentralized kitted offering provides a standardized approach to support clinical trials, CDx development and patient testing on a global scale.”
