QIAGEN, the leading global provider of sample to insight solutions for molecular testing, and Sysmex Inostics combined forces in July 2021 to accelerate global companion diagnostic access. QIAGEN provides unparalleled global custom cancer companion diagnostics (CDx) development and commercialization capabilities utilizing Sysmex Inostics ultra-sensitive NGS liquid biopsy technology. The goal of the alliance is to promote early clinical implementation of Sysmex Inostics’ technology to expedite clinical trial timelines for pharmaceutical companies that develop molecularly targeted drugs for cancer.
"Sysmex Inostics is focused on developing tools to support the fight against cancer and other devastating diseases. By partnering with industry leaders like QIAGEN we can help accelerate the fight to help patients with these diseases," said Shinichi Sato, CEO of Sysmex Inostics, Inc. "We look forward to highlighting our partnership with QIAGEN at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) 2022."
"Through our partnership with Sysmex, we can develop ultrasensitive blood-based NGS panels to the specific requirements of our pharma partners for their clinical trials," stated Jonathan Arnold, Vice President, Head of Oncology and Precision Diagnostics of QIAGEN. Arnold added, "If and when a CDx is required, QIAGEN will lead IVD submission, manufacturing, and global commercialization as a kitted product."
Sysmex and QIAGEN will highlight their alliance at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) booth 8149, Saturday, June 4, 2022, through Monday, June 6, 2022, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM CDT each day.
Poster Presentations Utilizing Sysmex Inostics’ Technology
Yoshinori Kagawa MD, PhD, Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Osaka General Medical Center, Osaka, Japan, will present the poster "Plasma RAS dynamics and anti-EGFR rechallenge efficacy in patients with RAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer: REMARRY and PURSUIT trials." Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) was analyzed and monitored using the Sysmex Inostics OncoBEAMTM RAS CRC Kit. Dr. Kagawa will present poster 3518 during the Gastrointestinal Cancer—Colorectal and Anal session on Saturday, June 4, 2022, 3:00 PM-4:30 PM CDT.
Linda (Yilin) Cao, MD, Department of Radiation Oncology, Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, will present the poster "Dynamic cell free HPV DNA is an early measure of treatment responsiveness in patients receiving induction chemotherapy for HPV-related head and neck cancer." Findings add to the breadth of ongoing clinical studies using HPV-SEQ to investigate de-escalation of HPV-positive patients from unnecessary and potentially harmful head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) treatments. HPV-SEQ is an ultrasensitive test for the detection of HPV16/18 DNA from blood and is CLIA validated to detect as few as five HPV DNA molecules from two tubes of blood.1 See here for additional study information. Dr. Cao will present poster 6062 during the Head and Neck Cancer session on Monday, June 6, 2022, 1:15 PM- 4:15 PM CDT.
