ANGLE announces collaboration with Myriad Genetics

COLLABORATION WITH MYRIAD GENETICS

Assessment of feasibility for use of Parsortix derived circulating tumour cell (CTC) DNA with Myriad Genetics' existing tissue-based diagnostic test

ANGLE plc (AIM:AGL OTCQX:ANPCY), a world-leading liquid biopsy company with innovative circulating tumour cell (CTC) solutions for use in research, drug development and clinical oncology, is delighted to announce that it has entered a collaboration with Myriad Genetics, Inc. (MYGN:NSQ), a leading molecular diagnostic testing and precision medicine company dedicated to advancing health and well-being for all.

Under the terms of the agreement, blood samples from cancer patients will be processed by ANGLE's research and development team utilising the Parsortix® system for the capture and harvest of intact cancer cells for downstream molecular analysis. Results for this analysis will compare CTC-DNA with matched patient tissue samples using Myriad Genetics' existing tissue-based assay.

Further details of the agreement are confidential between the parties.

ANGLE Chief Executive, Andrew Newland, commented:

"We are delighted to be working with Myriad Genetics, a major player in tissue-based companion diagnostic tests, seeking to extend their tests to work on a simple blood test using CTCs harvested by the Parsortix system. We look forward to working with Myriad Genetics to progress this collaboration which has the potential to have a substantial impact on patient treatment by improving access to actionable genomic data."
