MammaPrint(R) Breast Cancer Test Validated in Lymph Node-Positive Breast Cancer Patients
Date:12/13/2007

rint(R) is a powerful predictor of disease outcome in lymph node positive breast cancer patients," said Prof. Dr. Rene Bernards, chief scientific officer at Agendia. "Based on these data, the inclusion criteria of the large MINDACT clinical trial using MammaPrint(R) will be enlarged to include patients with 1-3 positive nodes."

Agendia will start offering MammaPrint(R) to patients having 1-3 positive lymph nodes in Europe. These data will also be submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for regulatory approval at a later date.

About MammaPrint(R)

MammaPrint(R) laboratory service is the first and only FDA cleared (February 2007) DNA microarray-based 'in vitro diagnostic multivariate index assay' (IVDMIA). MammaPrint(R) measures the activity of 70 genes, providing information about the likelihood of tumor recurrence. The MammaPrint(R) test measures the level of expression of each of these genes in a sample of a woman's surgically-removed breast cancer tumor and then uses a specific formula or algorithm to produce a score that determines whether the patient is deemed low risk or high risk for spread of the cancer to another site. The result may help a doctor in planning treatment and appropriate follow-up for a patient when used with other clinical information and laboratory tests. All MammaPrint(R) tests are conducted in Agendia's CLIA-certified central service laboratory.

About Agendia

Agendia, located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, is a world leader in gene expression analysis-based diagnostics with three products on the market. The company focuses on the development and commercialization of diagnostic tests using tumor gene expression profiling. Agendia was the first company to receive FDA approval for its breast cancer test -- MammaPrint(R) -- that predicts the risk of breast cancer recurrence. Its second microarray product, CupPrint(R)*, is a diagnostic test to identify the origin of a metastasis in a cancer type
