XIAMEN, China and HONG KONG, Jan. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Amoy Diagnostics Co., Ltd., (“AmoyDx”) and PREMIA Holdings (HK) Limited (“PREMIA”) today announced the commercial launch of the AmoyDx® Pan Lung Cancer PCR Panel (the “PLC Panel”) in Japan as a reimbursed companion diagnostic for multiple anti-cancer agents. AmoyDx is the inventor and manufacturer and PREMIA the developer of the PLC Panel in Japan.
“We are extremely pleased to announce this significant milestone. This is the first time in Japan that a multiplex companion diagnostic, using real-time PCR, has been approved and covered by insurance. We are also aggressively pursuing marketing applications worldwide, including Asia, the EU, Latin America and the United States,” said both Li-Mou Zheng, Ph.D., Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AmoyDx and Wenn Sun, Ph.D., Founder and President of PREMIA.
About the PLC Panel: The PLC Panel is based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology and can simultaneously evaluate the presence of 11 driver genes (EGFR/ ALK/ ROS1/ KRAS/ BRAF/ HER2/ RET/ MET/ NTRK1/ NTRK2/ NTRK3 genes). In Japan, the PLC Panel has received approval for five driver genes (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, and MET exon 14 skipping) for ten associated targeted therapies in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Due to its high sensitivity, short turnaround time (TAT) and ease of use, the PLC Panel is expected to contribute to the planning of early treatment strategies and the expansion of treatment opportunities for NSCLC patients.
