DIA Companion Diagnostics Conference 2015: Connecting Science and Regulation to Advance Innovation in Precision Medicine and Companion Diagnostics

Join key investigators and regulators in exploring the current landscape of companion diagnostics to identify challenges and potential paths to accelerate precision medicine initiatives.

Session 1: Evolving FDA Regulations of Genetic Tests

Session Chair(s)

Jennifer  Shen, PhD

ORIC Pharmaceuticals, United States

FDA has co-approved a number of companion diagnostics and targeted therapeutics in the last few years. It has also become apparent that multiple biomarker analyses are increasingly utilized to predict outcomes, select patients for treatment, or provide prognostic values in oncology patient care. This session will focus on regulatory strategies and development considerations when employing a companion diagnostic in a therapeutic development program. Examples will be discussed to illustrate how regulatory policies are developed to keep pace with the fast-evolving field of genomic testing. A case study about the recent co-approvals of BRACAnalysis CDx and olaparib will be presented, and a panel discussion will follow to share the different perspectives of a successful co-development program.
