Agendia Presents Broad Array of Predictive and Prognostic Studies on Breast and Colorectal Cancers at ASCO 2010 Annual Meeting

Huntington Beach, California and Amsterdam, June 4, 2010 (ots/PRNewswire)
-- Agendia, a world leader in molecular cancer diagnostics, today
announced that researchers from Agendia and leading academic centers
in the U.S. and Europe will present data from multiple studies
concerning Agendia's assays MammaPrint(R), BluePrint(TM), and
ColoPrint(TM) at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual
Meeting, June 4 - 8, 2010, at McCormick Place in Chicago. MammaPrint,
the company's lead product, is the only FDA-cleared breast cancer
recurrence test. FDA clearance requires clinical and analytical
validation and full transparency to ensure patient safety issues are
addressed. The company anticipates launching its prognostic colon
cancer test ColoPrint in late 2010.
The study results underpin the broad predictive and prognostic
power of MammaPrint and highlight prospective and independently
validated data on ColoPrint. Visitors can meet the Agendia team in
booth #18018 and study results will be discussed at the following
sessions:

About MammaPrint(R)
MammaPrint is the first and only breast cancer recurrence test
cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA clearance
under the in vitro diagnostic multivariate index assay (IVDMIA)
guidelines requires clinical and analytical validation and reporting
systems to ensure patient safety issues are addressed. Highly
accurate, MammaPrint identifies patients with early metastasis risk -
patients who are likely to develop metastases within five years
following surgery. Several authoritative studies have shown that
chemotherapy particularly reduces early metastasis risk. In planning
treatment, the MammaPrint test results provide doctors with a clear
rationale to assess the benefit of chemotherapy in addition to other
clinical information and pathology tests.
All MammaPrint tests are conducted in Agendia's CAP-accredited
and CLIA compliant service laboratories.
