About DiviTum®TKa
DiviTum®TKa is an in vitro diagnostic device intended for the semi-quantitative measurement of thymidine kinase activity (TKa) in human serum. The assay is to be used as an aid in monitoring disease progression in previously diagnosed hormone receptor positive, metastatic postmenopausal female breast cancer patients.
DiviTum®TKa determines the enzymatic activity of thymidine kinase (TK) in human serum samples through technology that enables the assay to measure TK activity with high sensitivity. Biovica is currently engaged in several clinical studies to generate high-quality clinical data on the performance of DiviTum®TKa within different solid tumor types and cell-cycle regulating drugs.
