Invivoscribe Submits LeukoStrat(R) CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay to NMPA in China and Expands Company, Adding Laboratory in Shanghai to Provide Comprehensive Support for Partners
SAN DIEGO, May 12, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Invivoscribe is pleased to announce that their LeukoStrat(R) CDx FLT3 Mutation 
Assay ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2801117-1&h=651919305&u=https%3A%2F%2Finvivoscribe.com%2Fclinical-services%2Fleukostrat-cdx-flt3-mutation-assay&a=LeukoStrat%C2%AE+CDx+FLT3+Mutation+Assay 
)was submitted to regulatory authorities in China in April in support of the 
Astellas New Drug Application (NDA) submission of XOSPATA(R) (gilteritinib) for 
treatment of adult patients who have relapsed or refractory acute myeloid 
leukemia (AML) with a FLT3 mutation. Invivoscribe also announced expansion of 
its wholly-owned company, Invivoscribe Diagnostic Technologies (Shanghai) Co. 
Ltd., adding laboratory testing services to support clinical trials and 
pharmaceutical partners.

Invivoscribe developed the LeukoStrat CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay in partnership 
with Astellas as the companion diagnostic supporting use of gilteritinib to 
treat adult patients with relapsed/ refractory FLT3-mutated AML.

"This is an announcement of two significant milestones: Submission of our 
LeukoStrat CDx Assay to the NMPA, and the expansion of our laboratory network 
into China. The submission itself is a milestone that builds on the 
LeukoStrat(R) CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay as the international gold standard signal 
ratio assay for comprehensive assessment of activating mutations in the FLT3 
gene; one of the most important biomarkers in AML", said Jeffrey Miller, 
Invivoscribe's CSO and CEO. "Further, the expansion of our company to include a 
laboratory was done to provide comprehensive test support for our partners 
conducting trials in China. Testing will include simultaneous assessment of 
minimal residual disease by both flow cytometry and next-generation sequencing 
technologies conducted on exactly the same subject specimen. These paired 
analyses have been requested by regulatory authorities and partners, but have 
been missing in clinical studies. Invivoscribe's LabPMM laboratories will bring 
this long-desired capability to fruition in our laboratories in China, Japan, 
Europe, and the US."

The LeukoStrat CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay is the only internationally standardized 
signal ratio assay that identifies both ITD and TKD mutations of the FLT3 
biomarker. It has been approved as a companion diagnostic by regulatory 
authorities in the US, Australia, and Japan, and is available as a CE-marked 
kit in Europe and Switzerland. The LeukoStrat(R) CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay served 
as the companion diagnostic in the ADMIRAL, RATIFY and QuANTUM-R clinical 
trials, which supported approvals of gilteritinib (XOSPATA(R)), midostaurin 
(RYDAPT(R)) and quizartinib (VANFLYTA(R)). The assay is available both as a 
service and as a kit. LeukoStrat CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay test services are 
available from LabPMM locations in Japan, Germany, and the United States.
