NeoGenomics Announces RaDaR(TM) Assay Receives CE Mark and is Submitted for US Reimbursement via the MolDX Program

FT. MYERS, FL / ACCESSWIRE / January 11, 2022 / NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEO), a leading provider of cancer-focused genetic testing services and global oncology contract research services, today announced that its liquid biopsy focused subsidiary Inivata Limited ("Inivata") has received the CE mark for its RaDaR™ assay for the detection of molecular residual disease (MRD) and recurrence, having met the requirements of the European In-Vitro Diagnostics Directive (98/79/EC). In addition, Inivata has submitted to the MolDX program in the US for the reimbursement of RaDaR for clinical testing.

The achievement of both milestones supports the commercialization of RaDaR in a clinical setting, both in collaboration with biopharma partners and other collaborators, as well as Inivata's own clinical development program. Medical devices require the CE mark for use in clinical applications in several key territories including the UK and the EU, and receipt of the designation therefore supports increasing clinical use of the assay.

RaDaR is an innovative, personalized liquid biopsy assay that tracks a set of up to 48 tumor specific variants in a patient using a simple blood draw, allowing both the detection of residual disease following curative intent or definitive treatment, and early detection of relapse. RaDaR has demonstrated exceptionally high sensitivity and specificity in detecting circulating cancer DNA. Previously presented analytical validation data at AACR 2020 demonstrated 95% sensitivity and 100% specificity at circulating tumor DNA concentration levels as low as 0.0011% variant allele frequency or 11 parts per million.

Clive Morris, President of Inivata, said: "Receiving CE marking for RaDaR is a testament to the quality of our technology and the robustness of our processes. The certification should strengthen both our ability to support clinical trials in Europe and the future commercialization of the MRD assay. In the US, submitting to the MolDX program for the reimbursement of RaDaR represents our continuing efforts to accelerate access to our vital technology."

Mark Mallon, CEO of NeoGenomics Laboratories, said: "The achievement of these key milestones reflects the exciting work that is ongoing at Inivata and the quality of its science, as well as instilling further confidence in the RaDaR technology to provide meaningful molecular information to help guide clinical decisions and make clinical trials more efficient. We look forward to seeing continued regulatory progress with RaDaR, supporting its future success in a commercial setting."
