Myriad Genetics and SOPHiA GENETICS to Develop an Innovative Companion Diagnostic Offering in Liquid Biopsy
SOPHiA GENETICS and Myriad will initially focus on the liquid biopsy application, MSK-ACCESS® powered with SOPHiA DDM™. Developed in collaboration with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, MSK-ACCESS® powered with SOPHiA DDM™ is an innovative liquid biopsy test that detects actionable genomic alterations from a single blood draw using proprietary, state-of-the-art algorithms which analyze circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). By developing the application into a CDx, more patients can gain access to the benefits of this high-quality tumor profiling test, advancing personalized healthcare at scale.
Myriad will pursue regulatory submissions in the U.S., and SOPHiA GENETICS will manage regulatory submissions outside of the U.S. Both companies will collaborate across development activities. This innovative, hybrid approach is expected to provide pharmaceutical partners with access to key regulated markets globally.
"This collaboration represents a pivotal moment for the industry," said Jurgi Camblong, Co-founder and CEO of SOPHiA GENETICS. "By combining the complementary strengths of a specialty lab leader and a global testing network, we are not only expanding access to innovative oncology testing but also laying the foundation for a new hybrid model in companion diagnostics. This collaboration will allow us to serve both clinical and pharmaceutical partners better, while accelerating the adoption of liquid biopsy solutions across key markets."
SOPHiA GENETICS and Myriad will participate in a panel discussion at the World CB and CDx Summit in Boston and provide additional details on the collaboration.
