New Oncology and Gustave Roussy Announce Collaboration on Genetic Testing

New Oncology announced today that it has entered into a collaboration agreement with Gustave Roussy Cancer Campus, Paris. Under this agreement, New Oncology will perform comprehensive parallel multigene testing to identify therapeutically relevant alterations in cancer-related genes. New Oncology will apply its proprietary diagnostic platform ‘NEO’, which allows rapid sample processing compatible with both daily clinical routine and standard sample material, i.e. FFPE (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded) tissue. No financial details were disclosed.

“We are very pleased to partner with Gustave Roussy, Europe’s leading oncology center. We look forward to contributing New Oncology’s unique diagnostic platform enabling in-depth genetic profiling of tumor samples. Together, we expect to significantly improve personalized approaches for the benefit of cancer patients” commented Dr. Andreas Jenne, CEO of New Oncology.
