Establishing HER2 As A Companion Diagnostic Biomarker For The Treatment Of Breast & Gastric Cancers

The prognostic, diagnostic and predictive value of the HER2 biomarker has been established for breast, gastric, and gastro-esophageal junction cancers. Over the past two decades, therapies such as Trastuzumab, Lapatinib and Trastuzumab-duocarmazine have been developed to treat these cancers, but their use and efficacy depend on accurate classification of the HER2 status of the tumor. Differences in HER2 expression among these cancers and tissue types requires expert analysis to score and interpret, and Discovery’s Global Tissue Biomarker Services Europe has led the field in establishing methodological guidelines to meet this need. The Discovery Biomarker Academy offers global pathology biomarker training services with experts instructing on cutting-edge platforms and current methods for IHC and in situ hybridization. Discovery’s Global Tissue Biomarker Services have supported assay development, validation and global clinical trial testing by providing expeditious and high-quality results, which are crucial to the success of drug and companion diagnostic development programs and are fit for any stage of research and development.

Custom Sourcing for a 30 Patient, Matched Monocytes and Pan T-cells Study

The client in this case study is a recognized and respected researcher in the hematological oncology discovery group of a major biopharma company. The researcher has been investigating interactions of novel therapies within the microenvironments of multiple hematological malignancies. Discovery Life Sciences has been a human biologics partner to this discovery group for over 5 years, providing diseased bone marrow and peripheral blood samples, but had not previously provided any healthy isolated immune cells. The discovery group typically sourced isolated cells from two well-known vendors, but has often had challenges with accrual timelines as well as the post-thaw quality and viability of the cells.
