Olympus, Ultivue comarketing agreement

February 2020—Olympus and Ultivue, a developer of tissue biomarker identification and quantification assays for translational research, have entered into a comarketing agreement. The partnership will provide a solution for fluorescent multiplexing by combining the Olympus Slideview VS200 automated slide scanner with Ultivue’s proprietary InSituPlex DNA barcoding and staining technology to provide quantitative colocalization analysis in fluorescent whole slide images.

SeraCare launches TMB reference materials

February 2020—SeraCare Life Sciences launched genomic DNA and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded reference materials for tumor mutational burden measurement by next-generation sequencing assays. SeraCare collaborated with Friends of Cancer Research and International Quality Network for Pathology in the development and evaluation of a range of gDNA and FFPE-based TMB reference materials across different targeted NGS panels, sequencing platforms, and bioinformatics analysis pipelines.

Applied BioCode panel gets FDA clearance

February 2020—Applied BioCode has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its BioCode Respiratory Pathogen Panel for use on the company’s BioCode MDx-3000 system. The panel tests nasopharyngeal swabs for common viruses and bacteria, including influenza A and subtypes H1, H1N1 2009pdm, and H3; influenza B; respiratory syncytial virus A/B; parainfluenza virus types 1–4; human metapneumovirus A/B; adenovirus; rhinovirus/enterovirus; coronavirus (229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1); Mycoplasma pneumoniae; Chlamydia pneumoniae; and Bordetella pertussis.

FDA approves first vaccine for Ebola virus

February 2020—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the approval of Ervebo (Merck), the first FDA-approved vaccine for the prevention of Ebola virus disease, caused by Zaire ebolavirus, in people 18 years of age and older. Ervebo is administered as a single-dose injection and is a live, attenuated vaccine that has been genetically engineered to contain a protein from the Zaire ebolavirus.

FDA clears Simplexa VZV Swab Direct

February 2020—DiaSorin Molecular has received FDA clearance for its Simplexa VZV Swab Direct assay. The CLIA moderate-complexity assay is designed for use on the Liaison MDX instrument to detect varicella-zoster virus DNA from cutaneous and mucocutaneous swab specimens. The assay complements the company’s Simplexa VZV Direct kit, which is for use with cerebrospinal fluid samples.

Roche, Sarepta enter licensing agreement

February 2020—Roche and Sarepta Therapeutics signed a licensing agreement providing Roche exclusive commercial rights, outside the United States, to SRP-9001 (AAVrh74.MHCK7.micro-dystrophin), Sarepta’s investigational gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Under the terms of the agreement, Sarepta will receive an upfront payment of $750 million in cash and $400 million in equity. In addition, Sarepta is eligible to receive regulatory and sales milestones, and royalties on net sales. Roche and Sarepta will equally share global development expenses. As part of the agreement, Roche also obtains an option to acquire ex-U.S. rights to certain future DMD-specific programs from Sarepta, in exchange for separate milestone and royalty considerations, and cost sharing.
