February 5, 2024
HANGZHOU, China — Adicon Holdings Limited, a leading independent clinical laboratory company, announced today that the first set of clinical trial samples has been tested using Guardant360®, marking the future readiness of access to comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) testing using liquid biopsies for patients with cancer in China. Recently, its Shanghai Jince Medical Laboratory successfully completed Analytical Validation (AV) Studies of Guardant Health’s liquid biopsy test offered in China, confirming that the performance of the Guardant360 test in the Adicon laboratory is equivalent to Guardant Health’s US-based laboratory. The Guardant360® CDx test is the first fully localised CGP liquid biopsy solution with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.1
“The laboratory compliance and standardisation of testing results instill confidence in biopharmaceutical companies that Guardant Health’s local offering of liquid biopsy offered in the Adicon laboratory is a high-quality, comprehensive genomic profiling test which can advance clinical research and accelerate development of new cancer therapies in China. The processing of the first batch of clinical trial samples in our local laboratory marks a significant milestone, as the Guardant360 test is a U.S. FDA-approved test available for clinical trials in China under global registration,” said Song Gao, CEO of Adicon.
