Agendia’s MammaPrint and BluePrint Breast Cancer Tests to Be Highlighted at San Antonio Symposium

Satellite Symposium and Dinner Presentation Will Offer Latest
Insights on Genomic Testing and Molecular Subtyping

IRVINE, Calif. & AMSTERDAM–(BUSINESS WIRE)–New breast cancer research highlighting the value of Agendia’s
MammaPrint® and BluePrint® genomic tests will be presented in 10
scientific posters at the upcoming 2015 San Antonio Breast Cancer
Symposium (SABCS).

Four of the posters will provide new findings from the NBRST trial,
which encompasses results from more than 1,000 patients. The trial has
produced results that consistently underscore the unique ability of
functional molecular subtyping, compared to standard clinicopathologic
classification alone, to better predict those patients who will respond
to chemotherapy and/or targeted therapy.

Agendia will also offer a satellite symposium on “The Significance of
Prospective Randomized Trials in Genomic Testing Validation and the
Advancement of Precision Medicine,” featuring two of the world’s leading
scientists in genomic medicine. The symposium will be led by guest
speakers Emiel Rutgers, F.R.C.S., M.D., Ph.D., head of the Department of
Surgery at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, and Laura van ’t Veer,
Ph.D., Leader, Breast Oncology Program and Director, Applied Genomics at
University of California, San Francisco. They will discuss the MINDACT
trial design and the significance of prospective randomized trials in
genomic testing validation. The symposium will be held Wednesday, Dec. 9
at 2 p.m. in the Exhibit Hall’s Product Theater.

On Thursday, Dec.10, Agendia will host a dinner presentation on
Molecular Subtypes. Peter Beitsch, M.D. and Pat Whitworth, M.D. of
Targeted Medical Education will discuss functional molecular subtypes
and emerging research in the management of early stage breast cancer.
The dinner will take place at Bohanans Prime Steaks and Seafood at 219
East Houston Street, 2nd Floor, in San Antonio. A welcome reception
starts at 6:30 P.M. with the presentation beginning at 7:00 p.m.

For more information about both of these events, please inquire at the
Agendia conference Booth #518.

The 70-gene MammaPrint test, an FDA-cleared FFPE, second-generation
breast cancer recurrence assay, provides definitive High Risk or Low
Risk information about breast cancer recurrence, with no “intermediate”
results. Agendia’s companion BluePrint test is the only widely available
assay that provides functional molecular subtypes. It delivers enhanced
information about which patients may or may not respond to neoadjuvant
(preoperative) therapy and also assists physicians and their patients in
determining the best course for therapy. The Agendia tests have
substantial insurance coverage encompassing an estimated 200 million
lives, including coverage by Medicare and regional and national
insurers. To learn more about the tests, SABCS attendees can visit Booth
#518.

SABCS 2015 will be held at the Henry Gonzales Conference Center in San
Antonio, Texas, USA, Dec. 8-12, 2015.

About Agendia

Agendia is a privately owned, leading molecular diagnostic company that
develops and markets FFPE-based genomic diagnostic products, which help
support physicians with their complex treatment decisions. Agendia’s
breast cancer suite was developed using an unbiased gene selection by
analyzing the complete human genome.

This includes the MammaPrint test, which is the only FDA-cleared test
for women of all ages and which is not limited by estrogen receptor
status. Agendia’s suite of tests includes BluePrint, which in
combination with MammaPrint provides the only commercially available way
to predict response to current breast cancer chemotherapy and targeted
therapy regimens. In addition to MammaPrint and BluePrint, which is a
molecular subtyping assay that provides deeper insight leading to more
clinically actionable biology, Agendia also offers TargetPrint®, an
ER/PR/HER2 expression assay.

Agendia’s tests help physicians assess a breast cancer patient’s
individual risk for metastasis, which patients may benefit from chemo,
hormonal, or combination therapy, and which patients may not require
these treatments and can instead be treated with other, less arduous and
less costly methods.

In addition, Agendia has a pipeline of other genomic products in
development. The company collaborates with pharmaceutical companies,
leading cancer centers and academic groups to develop companion
diagnostic tests in the area of oncology and is a critical partner in
the I-SPY 2 and the MINDACT trials. For more information, visit www.agendia.com.
