MENLO PARK, Calif., 2013-10-29 13:30 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
IncellDx, Inc. announced today that they have entered into an agreement with
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE:BMY) related to the development of an assay
for potential application in a molecular companion diagnostic intended to
identify patients likely to benefit from treatment with a Bristol-Myers Squibb
drug that is currently under development.
The test will be based upon a modification of IncellDx's quantitative
InCellCept assay, a cell-based instrument capable of quantifying molecular
biomarkers inside intact cells. This allows protein and gene expression to be
measured by distinct cell type, which aids both diagnosis and disease
localization. If successful, the companies anticipate extending the
relationship into development of a molecular companion diagnostic in which the
assay would be used to determine phenotypic susceptibility of patients' disease
prior to treatment.
This collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb highlights IncellDx's commitment
to precision diagnostics and personalized medicine. 'The agreement highlights
the breadth of IncellDx's novel cellular multiplexing molecular technology,'
commented Bruce Patterson, MD, CEO of IncellDx.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
