↓ -4%Myriad Genetics has received FDA approval for its MyChoice CDx Test as the companion diagnostic for Zejula (niraparib), a PARP inhibitor from GSK, for patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The approval is based on final data from the PRIMA trial. MyChoice CDx is now the only FDA-approved companion diagnostic test in the United States to identify patients with homologous recombination deficiency-positive status eligible for Zejula treatment. The test uses next-generation sequencing technology to assess BRCA1/2 genes and tumour genomic instability score. Nearly 50% of patients with advanced ovarian cancer have HRD-positive tumours. The test can identify 34% more patients with HRD than other tumour tests using loss of heterozygosity alone. Zejula is approved for maintenance treatment of adult patients with advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.
Shares of Myriad Genetics rose 4.9% to $5.26 after the company announced the launch of its Precise MRD test for breast cancer patients and presented at the TD Cowen 46th Annual Health Care Conference. The new test detects molecular residual disease to help doctors monitor patients during cancer treatment. Myriad Genetics initiated the launch with select oncology practices, with plans for broader US rollout later this year. The company recently reaffirmed its full-year 2026 financial outlook. Myriad Genetics has experienced significant volatility, with 45 moves greater than 5% over the past year. The stock is down 14.4% year-to-date and trading 50% below its 52-week high of $10.52 from March 2025.
Myriad Genetics has commercially launched its Precise MRD test with select community oncology practices for breast cancer patients. The tumor-informed circulating tumour DNA assay uses whole-genome sequencing to create personalised panels and can detect ctDNA at levels as low as one part per million. The initial rollout involves selected oncology practices with no patient limit, whilst a broader US launch is planned for later this year. The test enables longitudinal monitoring during cancer treatment, helping clinicians determine if adjuvant treatment is needed, whether cancer has recurred, or if treatment is working. Precise MRD provides molecular insights across the cancer care continuum, with results displayed in reports showing ctDNA detection and concentration over time. The company positions the test as enabling earlier insight and more informed treatment decisions.
