Agilent Technologies IncEU approval for PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx as companion diagnostic in ovarian cancer expands its market.
Agilent Technologies has received European Union certification for its PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx, Code SK006, as a companion diagnostic to identify patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma who may be eligible for treatment with Merck's KEYTRUDA. The approval is based on the KEYNOTE-B96/ENGOT-ov65 clinical trial and marks the eighth CE-marked indication for this assay in the EU. The test enables pathologists to assess PD-L1 expression in these tumor types, supporting treatment decisions in the platinum-resistant setting where options remain limited. Agilent developed the assay in partnership with Merck, and it is already indicated for several other cancers including non-small cell lung cancer and triple-negative breast cancer.
