NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Thermo Fisher Scientific said today that it has signed an agreement with Eli Lilly and Company to develop a companion diagnostic for Lilly's RET kinase inhibitor, LOXO-292.
The companies plan to use Thermo Fisher's Oncomine Dx Target test, a sequencing panel that is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, to identify non-small cell lung cancer and thyroid cancer patients with RET alterations who might benefit from LOXO-292.
