EORTC, BIG, and Agendia Announce Completion of Patient Recruitment for International MINDACT Study (y 2)

Agendia [http://www.agendia.com ] is a leading global commercial molecular diagnostic company that develops and markets genomic-based diagnostic products that improve the quality of life for cancer patients and simplifies complex treatment decisions for their physicians. Agendia's Symphony(TM) suite of breast cancer products is based on the analysis of hundreds of genes in a patient's breast and provides unprecedented biological insight to address complex treatment decisions. Symphony(TM) includes MammaPrint(R), the first and only FDA-cleared IVDMIA breast cancer recurrence assay, as well as BluePrint(R), a molecular subtyping assay, TargetPrint(R), an ER/PR/HER2 expression assay, and TheraPrint(R), a therapy selection assay. Together, these tests help physicians determine a patient's individual risk for metastasis, which patients will benefit from chemo or hormonal therapy, and which patients do not require these treatments and can instead be treated with other less arduous and costly methods.

In addition to the Symphony(TM) suite of tests, Agendia has a rich pipeline of genomic products in development based on its world-class genomic platform. The company also collaborates with pharmaceutical companies to develop companion diagnostic tests in the area of oncology and is a critical partner in the ISPY-2 and MINDACT trials.

Agendia was founded in 2003 as a spin-off of the Netherlands Cancer Institute and is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Irvine, California, United States.
