NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Abbott said this week that it will expand the current CE-IVD product labeling for its Vysis ALK Break Apart FISH Probe Kit, allowing the test to be marketed in the European Union as a companion diagnostic. The test is designed to detect rearrangements of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients who may be eligible for treatment with Pfizer's Xalkori (crizotinib), an oral first-in-class ALK inhibitor.
