Foundation Medicine, QED Therapeutics to Develop CDx for Bile Duct Cancer

Dec 10, 2018
|
staff reporter

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – QED Therapeutics said today that it has partnered with Foundation Medicine to develop a companion diagnostic for its drug candidate infigratinib in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer).

Infigratinib is an FGFR1-3-selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and the CDx will include the detection of activating FGFR2 fusions. It is expected to be incorporated into FoundationOne CDx, Foundation Medicine's FDA-approved comprehensive genomic profiling assay for all solid tumors, which includes several companion diagnostics.
