The following are key milestones achieved by Agendia in 2024: 

Market Access 

  • Achieved Year-over-Year growth and share expansion as the commercial team worked with customers to continuously provide biology-based insights to help guide treatment decisions.
  • Expanded relationships within the payor medical policy community by participating in numerous  provider programs and presentations, which led to coverage of our tests by more than 90% of  payors in the US, as well as expanded coverage to include core biopsy samples as part of the  existing MammaPrint coverage guidelines.  
  • Obtained inclusion for Blueprint in the 2024 version of the German Gynecological Oncology Group (AGO) guidelines as a predictive factor for neoadjuvant chemotherapy decision making. 
  • Received certification from the EU In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (IVDR) for three products, including MammaPrint® FFPE Microarray, BluePrint® FFPE Microarray, and  MammaPrint and BluePrint NGS Kit. This certification has been extended to include predictive  claim.  

Product Growth and Innovation 

  • Presented new clinical data on Agendia’s Research Use Only test, ImPrintTN from the I-SPY 2 trial in patients with triple negative breast cancer at the 14th European Breast Cancer Conference, showcasing its utility in providing more accurate response predictions to common  immunotherapy regimens. 

Clinical Milestones and Advancements in Research 

  • Announced the first patient to use MammaPrint in the DEBRA Trial, as an additional enrollment biomarker. 
  • Advanced the clinical utility of MammaPrint and BluePrint through presentations and abstracts at several conferences, including:

o The 41st Annual Miami Breast Cancer Conference: Highlighted new data from the  ongoing prospective observational FLEX Study in two poster presentations.  

o American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO): Presented a robust suite of data on  MammaPrint and BluePrint, including two oral sessions and three posters around their utility in predicting 3-year outcomes in patients when treated with neo/adjuvant  chemotherapy and their ability to characterize the immune active state of MammaPrint  High Risk tumors. The other ASCO abstract was ACT/TC, demonstrating the ability to  identify high risk patients who have better outcomes with an anthracycline regimen. 

o San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS): Presented two poster spotlight  presentations, one late-breaking poster, and two posters on the expanding clinical utility  of our MammaPrint and BluePrint assays in providing reliable guidance for therapeutic  decisions in early-stage breast cancer.  

  • Highlighted MammaPrint and BluePrint utility in extended endocrine therapy selection and decision making:

o Published data from the NSABP-B42 study evaluating MammaPrint’s utility in predicting  benefit of extended endocrine therapy in patients with early-stage breast cancer in the  June issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. 

o Published a pivotal secondary analysis in JAMA Network Open from the IDEAL  randomized Phase 3 clinical trial on MammaPrint’s utility in prediction of extended  endocrine therapy benefit in post-menopausal patients with early-stage breast cancer.  

Prestigious Partnerships and Awards 

  • Finalized protocol design and implementation of a Phase 3 trial evaluating the use of immunotherapy in patients who were classified as MammaPrint High 2, following the announcement of a collaboration with the National Cancer Institute and SWOG Cancer Research Network in late 2023. 
  • Honored for her pioneering work in molecular cancer diagnostics and breast cancer research over the past 30 years, Agendia’s co-founder, Prof. Dr. Laura van ’t Veer, received three distinct honors, including The Luigi Castagnetta Award, a keynote lecture at the Amsterdam Antoni van  Leeuwenhoek Hospital’s Anniversary Symposium, and the William L. McGuire Memorial Lecture  Award at the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. 
  • Continued to build upon our strong relationships with key organizations, which were all patient advocacy groups, including sponsorships with the following groups:

o Dandelion Toolkit® 

o Look Learn Locate® 

o Living Beyond Breast Cancer®

o Susan G. Komen Foundation® 

o Tigerlily Foundation 

o Sharsheret 

“Here at Agendia, we are committed to leading the way in finding better options for personalized breast  cancer management and improving support for those affected by this all too common disease,” said  William Audeh, MD, MS, Chief Medical Officer of Agendia. “We are incredibly proud of what the team  has accomplished this year and how we have contributed meaningful clinical information. As we look  ahead into 2025, we are excited to unveil critical insights that will continue to transform medical care  and outcomes for physicians and their patients.”

About MammaPrint 

MammaPrint® is a gene expression profiling test that reveals the distinct underlying biology of an early stage tumor to determine its risk of spreading. As the only FDA-cleared gene expression profiling test to  assess a woman’s risk of distant metastasis, MammaPrint® provides critical answers that help inform the  future of a woman’s treatment plan at the point of diagnosis, including the timing and benefit to  chemotherapy and endocrine therapy. MammaPrint® listens to the signals from 70 key genes in a  woman’s tumor to stratify her risk within four distinct categories – ranging from UltraLow, Low, High-1,  and High-2 – to fuel a right-sized care plan tailored to her biology and her life’s plans. 

About BluePrint 

BluePrint® is a gene expression profiling test that reveals the driving forces behind a tumor’s growth at  the earliest stage possible in a woman’s breast cancer care journey to help optimize and personalize  treatment planning. As the only molecular subtyping test available in the U.S., BluePrint® goes where  pathology cannot, offers critical insights that providers may otherwise have not known to act on, and  gives women the best chance to return to a life not defined by cancer. BluePrint® measures the activity  of 80 key genes that are involved in a tumor’s growth to classify a tumor as Luminal-type, HER2-type, or  Basal-type, each of which warrant distinct treatment pathways. By revealing the distinct underlying biology of a woman’s tumor, BluePrint® can catch often misclassified, yet highly aggressive, Basal  tumors, so women can be prescribed the most appropriate treatment from the start.
