CROISSY-BEAUBOURG, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regulatory News:
THERADIAG (ISIN: FR0004197747, Ticker: ALTER) (Paris:ALTER), a company specializing in in vitro diagnostics and Theranostics, today announces the launch of four additional kits in its i-Tracker® tests range and the validation of a new parameter in the United States, all dedicated to biotherapy monitoring.
In addition to its eight kits that have already received CE marking1, Theradiag is expanding its range with 4 more kits of i-Tracker® tests: i-Tracker® Golimumab, i-Tracker® Anti-Golimumab, i-Tracker® Rituximab and i-Tracker® Anti-Rituximab, all of which being adapted to its latest generation random-access analyzer i-Track10® and the IDS-iSYS automated system manufactured by the company IDS.
As of the date of this press release, the Golimumab and anti-Golimumab kits are already CE marked, while the Rituximab and anti-Rituximab kits will be in the coming weeks. The Golimumab kits are devoted to monitoring biotherapies used within the framework of chronic inflammatory diseases treatment in gastroenterology, rheumatology and dermatology; the Rituximab kits are notably dedicated to biotherapies used in rheumatology and oncology.
While expanding its range, Theradiag is also strengthening its offer in the United States. A new parameter has been validated in the laboratory of Veracyte2, a Theradiag’s partner in the United States: the Infliximab biosimilar Avsola®. This biosimilar has been approved by the FDA (Federal Drug Administration) to treat chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis. After Inflectra® and Renflexis®, Avsola® is the third biosimilar validated on Theradiag’s OptimAbs Infliximab test.
Bertrand de Castelnau, CEO of Theradiag, commented: “We are very proud to announce these two decisive bits of news that materialize the strategy we have adopted in recent semesters: the extension of our R&D and the intensification of the internationalization of our offer. This commercial strategy allows us to contribute to the development of individualized therapeutic monitoring of even more biotherapies and for even more patients around the world”.
