UPPSALA, SE / ACCESSWIRE / January 13, 2025 / Biovica International (STO:BIOVIC-B) (STO:BIOVIC.B) (FRA:9II) Biovica, active in blood-based cancer monitoring, has signed an order with a total value of 2.3 MSEK for TKa testing services within its Pharma Services business. The work order is signed with a UK-based pharma/biotech company to be used in a phase I/II clinical study in patients with advanced solid tumors being treated with a next generation CDK inhibitor.
The order follows a smaller proof-of-concept study rendering good results leading to this larger clinical-study-work-order. TKa will be used for repetitive testing during the trial. The work order has a value of 2 MSEK plus 0.3 MSEK for additional services. The company signed a master service agreement (MSA) with Biovica in 2024.
" We are pleased to see the strong development in our Pharma Services business. TKa is now used in 15 ongoing trials, increasing the likelihood of TKa being validated as a companion biomarker for patient treatment monitoring and optimization. Another MSA-customer, who is also developing next generation CDK inhibitors in phase I/II, just signed its 8th work order with us. Large and repeat business makes me confident about the future ", said Henrik Winther, SVP, Business Development at Biovica.
