QIAGEN has signed a collaboration agreement with Neuron23 to develop a companion diagnostic for a LRRK2 inhibitor aimed at treating Parkinson’s disease. This assay will utilize next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to identify biomarkers predicting patient responsiveness. The collaboration enhances QIAGEN's NGS testing portfolio, expanding its precision medicine applications into neurology. Neuron23's LRRK2 inhibitor is in late-stage preclinical development, and this partnership is part of QIAGEN's strategy to leverage its expertise in molecular testing to support groundbreaking therapies.
Neuron23 and QIAGEN announced a collaboration on September 14, 2022, to develop the first companion diagnostic for Neuron23’s LRRK2 inhibitor aimed at treating Parkinson’s disease. Under the agreement, QIAGEN will create a clinical trial assay detecting biomarkers that predict patient responsiveness to the drug. This assay will be integrated into a next-generation sequencing workflow, facilitating concurrent submissions for FDA approval of both the diagnostic test and drug application.
The collaboration highlights the potential of precision medicine in neurodegenerative diseases.
