codevelopment agreement

ArcherDx will develop in vitro diagnostic tests, including companion diagnostics, to run on Illumina's NextSeq 550Dx next-generation sequencing system.

The firms will codevelop companion diagnostics for anti-PD1/PD-L1 immunotherapy treatments for cancer.

The collaborators are developing a sample prep solution for the Mission Bio Tapestri platform and are working on a hematology-focused panel.

Under the agreement, Prometheus will receive an upfront payment of an undisclosed amount and could receive up to $420 million in milestone payments.

The companies will use Foundation Medicine's FoundationOne CDx test as the baseline to define a set of unique variants that the codeveloped assays will monitor.

Interpace Diagnostics subsidiary Interpace BioPharma will perform services worldwide, while Genecast will offer the services in China.

Bruker signed a codevelopment and comarketing agreement with PreOmics for sample prep, and a partnership with Genedata for proteomics software.

Group K said that the partners are developing a RT-LAMP system for use at the point of care in resource-limited areas where real-time RT-PCR is not available.

The partnership gives each company non-exclusive access to the other's technology and may also include opportunities for transnational clinical trials.
