TORONTO (PRWEB)

Increasingly, biomarkers play a key role in therapeutic development programs and have been shown to improve drug approval success rates by nearly three-fold. Some biomarkers transition to become a companion diagnostic and as such, are a required test for prescribing a specific therapy. In this webinar, we’ll focus on the development journey of a biomarker from early discovery, through clinical development and ultimately to an approved, commercially available companion diagnostic test. We’ll present the example of and experience with the recently approved therascreen® FGFR mutation companion diagnostic assay which is used to assess the eligibility of patients with urothelial cancer for treatment with the newly approved FGFR kinase inhibitor, BALVERSA™ (erdafitinib).

Join Suso Platero, PhD, Global Leader Precision Medicine and Head Biomarker Solution Center, Covance and Jennifer Quigley, Director, Oncology Product Commercialization, LabCorp in a live webinar on Tuesday, September 1, 2020 at 11am EDT (4pm BST/UK).
