Agilent Technologies Inc. has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx, Code SK006, as a companion diagnostic to aid in identifying first-line patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma (EOC) whose tumors express PD-L1 and who may be eligible for treatment with KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab), Merck's anti-PD-1 therapy. This approval is based on the evaluation of PD-L1 expression in the KEYNOTE-B96 clinical trial and marks the seventh FDA-approved companion diagnostic indication for this assay in use with KEYTRUDA. The test is also indicated in the U.S. for use in other cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, cervical cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, triple-negative breast cancer, and gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
