Companion diagnostics (CDx) and Complementary Diagnostics have been on the market and used to treat diseases for several years. Notable examples of Companion Diagnostics include Xalkori and Ventana ALK (D5F3) CDx Assay; Gleevec and Dako C-KIT PharmDx; Keytruda and Dako PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx; Tarceva and cobas® EGFR Mutation Test v2; and Herceptin and Pathvysion HER-2 DNA Probe Kit. Not only must CDx-drug pairs demonstrate therapeutic utility, drug companies and their business partners must realize net financial benefits. In this symposium, examples and strategies to pair drugs and assays to improve safety, efficacy, outcomes, and economic value will be presented and discussed.
