February 2020—Roche announced FDA approval of Tecentriq (atezolizumab) in combination with chemotherapy (Abraxane [paclitaxel protein-bound; nab-paclitaxel] and carboplatin) for the initial treatment of adults with metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations. The European Commission approved the combination therapy in September.
February 2020—Foundation Medicine has received FDA approval for its FoundationOne CDx to be used as a companion diagnostic for Piqray (alpelisib) in combination with fulvestrant for the treatment of postmenopausal women, and men, with hormone receptor–positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative, PIK3CA-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer following progression on or after an endocrine-based regimen.
February 2020—Quest Diagnostics has acquired certain assets of the clinical laboratory services business of Boston Clinical Laboratories, based in Waltham, Mass.
February 2020—Myriad Genetics announced that the FDA has approved BRACAnalysis CDx for use as a companion diagnostic to identify patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who have a germline BRCA mutation and are candidates for treatment with PARP inhibitor olaparib (Lynparza, AstraZeneca).

January 2020—Olympus introduced its Slideview VS200 slide scanner, designed to capture high-resolution images for quantitative analysis for brain, cancer, and stem cell research, as well as drug discovery. The scanner uses Olympus X Line objectives, which are designed to deliver flatter images with a wide field of view and no intensity fall off at the periphery, improve numerical aperture, and offer a wider range of chromatic correction.
January 2020—ALPCO announced that the FDA granted its Calprotectin Chemiluminescence ELISA 510(k) clearance. It is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease, specifically Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and as an aid in the differentiation of IBD from irritable bowel syndrome, in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.
January 2020—Personal Genome Diagnostics received the CE mark for the PGDx Elio Tissue Complete assay. The panel is a 507-gene test for somatic alterations that detects single nucleotide variants, small indels, amplifications, rearrangements, microsatellite instability, and tumor mutation burden.
