Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has announced that it has entered into a collaboration agreement with Pfizer, the world\u2019s largest research-based pharmaceutical company, to design, develop and commercialize diagnostic tests for therapeutic products across Pfizer\u2019s pipeline. Under the agreement, Siemens will be one of Pfizer\u2019s collaboration partners to develop and provide in vitro diagnostic tests for use in clinical studies and, potentially, eventual global commercialization with Pfizer products. The Siemens Clinical Laboratory (SCL), a high-complexity testing laboratory focused on advancing personalized medicine, will develop the companion diagnostic tests under the partnership. The collaboration will leverage Siemens\u2019 worldwide leadership in providing clinical diagnostic solutions for hospital and reference laboratories, specialty laboratories and point-of-care settings to help enable diagnostics development. \u201cCompanion diagnostics are an important enabler of targeted therapies for patients,\u201d states John Hubbard, Senior Vice President and Worldwide Head of Development Operations at Pfizer. \u201cThis agreement with Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is another example of Pfizer\u2019s commitment to develop new precision medicines to address unmet clinical needs.\u201d \u201cOur relationship with Pfizer marks a major milestone in Siemens\u2019 personalized medicine strategy,\u201d states Dr. Trevor Hawkins, Senior Vice President, Strategy & Innovations, Diagnostics Division, Siemens Healthcare. \u201cWe look forward to collaborating with Pfizer to realize the goal of advancing innovative solutions that change the way patient care is delivered and, together, shape the future of diagnostic medicine.\u201d Companion diagnostic tests are clinical tests linked to a specific drug or therapy intended to assist physicians in making more informed and personalized treatment decisions for their patients. When used in the drug development process, companion diagnostics may help pharmaceutical companies improve patient selection and treatment monitoring, determine the preferred therapy dosing for patients, and establish a protocol to help maximize the treatment benefit for patients.<\/p>\nwww.siemens.com<\/link>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
