    FDA Approves Roche's VENTANA ALK (D5F3) CDx Assay

    Companion diagnostic now can aid in identifying lung cancer patients eligible for treatment with 3 unique medicines.

    Roche announced it has obtained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the VENTANA ALK (D5F3) CDx Assay as a companion diagnostic to identify ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients eligible for treatment with the Roche medicine ALECENSA (alectinib). The VENTANA ALK (D5F3) CDx Assay is the only test FDA-approved as a companion diagnostic for ALECENSA.
     
    "We are very excited about the companion diagnostic label expansion for the ALK (D5F3) assay. This immunohistochemistry assay will deliver critical information on treatment options for non-small cell lung cancer patients," said Ann Costello, head of Roche Tissue Diagnostics. “The ability to identify ALK-positive patients very quickly with a simple IHC test ensures that more patients can benefit from targeted therapy.”
     
    The VENTANA ALK (D5F3) CDx Assay has been shown in studies to identify more patients that will benefit from an anti-ALK target therapy than fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) testing.1,2,3,4 The VENTANA ALK (D5F3) CDx Assay is available for use on the Roche BenchMark XT or BenchMark ULTRA IHC/ISH slide staining systems.5
