The companies aim to receive regulatory approval for the Foundation Medicine assays, which identify mutations, including BRAFV600E, for detecting patients to treat with Pierre Fabre鈥檚 BRAF/MEK inhibitor combination regimen, BRAFTOVI (encorafenib) and MEKTOVI (binimetinib), in the European Union.

Presently, this combination therapy is under assessment by the European Medicines Agency for patients with BRAFV600E-mutant advanced NSCLC. It was assessed in a Pfizer-sponsored clinical study, which was supported by Pierre Fabre.

Pierre Fabre medical and patient consumer department head N煤ria Perez-Cullell said: 鈥淭oday, as the number of indications and approvals in oncology grow rapidly, companion diagnostics provide information that is critical for the safe and effective use of targeted therapies.鈥�

Both in-vitro diagnostic assays have already received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for detecting targetable mutations, including BRAF, in blood and tissue-based solid tumour samples.
