About MammaPrint
MammaPrint® is a gene expression profiling test that reveals the distinct underlying biology of an early-stage tumor to determine its risk of spreading. As the only FDA-cleared gene expression profiling test to assess a woman’s risk of distant metastasis, MammaPrint provides critical answers that help inform the future of her treatment plan at the point of diagnosis, including the timing and benefit to chemotherapy and endocrine therapy. MammaPrint listens to the signals from 70 key genes in a woman’s tumor to stratify her risk within four distinct categories – ranging from UltraLow, Low, High 1, and High 2– to fuel a right-sized care plan tailored to her biology and her life’s plans.
About BluePrint
BluePrint® is a gene expression profiling test that reveals the driving forces behind a tumor’s growth at the earliest stage possible in a woman’s breast cancer care journey to help optimize and personalize treatment planning. As the only molecular subtyping test available in the U.S., BluePrint goes where pathology cannot, offers critical insights that providers may otherwise have not known to act on, and gives women the best chance to return to a life not defined by cancer. BluePrint measures the activity of 80 key genes that are involved in a tumor's growth to classify a tumor as Luminal-type, HER2-type, or Basal-type, each of which warrant distinct treatment pathways. By revealing the distinct underlying biology of a woman's tumor, BluePrint can catch often misclassified, yet highly aggressive, Basal tumors, so women can be prescribed the most appropriate treatment from the start

Incyte’s CDK2 Inhibitor INCB123667 Shows Promising Evidence of Clinical Activity in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors, Notably Ovarian Cancer14.9.2024 18:45:00 CEST | Press release
Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today announced new early clinical data for INCB123667, a highly selective, potential first-in-class CDK2 inhibitor, in patients with advanced solid tumors. The trial results, presented during a mini-oral presentation at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) with new, updated data shared during the Company’s investor event, highlight the potential of INCB123667 as a differentiated treatment option for cancers with increased Cyclin E1 activity, amplification and/or overexpression in cells predictive of CDK2 dependency. In the trial, patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors (n=205) – including ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, HR+/HER2- breast cancer and triple negative breast cancer, among others – received varying doses of INCB123667 ranging from 50mg to 150mg using once-daily (QD) and twice-daily (BID) dosing schedules. New data from the Phase 1b dose expansion portion of the trial (data cut-off August 26, 2024) presen
Incyte’s Retifanlimab (Zynyz ® ) Extends Progression-Free Survival in Patients with Squamous Cell Anal Carcinoma (SCAC); Data Featured at ESMO 2024 Presidential Symposium14.9.2024 16:30:00 CEST | Press release
Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today announced results from the Phase 3 POD1UM-303/InterAACT2 trial of retifanlimab (Zynyz®), a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1), in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin–paclitaxel) for the treatment of adults with inoperable locally recurrent or metastatic squamous cell anal carcinoma (SCAC). These data were featured today in a Presidential Symposium (LBA 2) at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024, held in Barcelona and virtually. The POD1UM-303/InterAACT2 trial results build on previously announced topline results, showing that the study met its primary endpoint by demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with SCAC not previously treated with systemic therapy, as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) using RECIST v1.1. Adding retifanlimab to standard of care chemotherapy res
