WntResearch and Biovica in Foxy-5 biomarker collaboration
(World News Science)

Biovica International AB (publ) have agreed to collaborate with WntResearch AB regarding a biomarker for Foxy-5 treatment. The objective of the research is to deliver a companion diagnostic, a biomarker, coupled with Foxy-5. Biovica and WntResearch acknowledge the possibility to utilize a blood sample to identify patients that will benefit from Foxy-5. The rationale for the collaboration are several studies demonstrating that thymidine kinase (TK) activity can be measured with high precision by Biovicas DiviTumÒassay and is strongly correlated to tumor aggressiveness. To investigate the connection between TK, Wnt-5a and cancer recurrence, TK will be measured in a...
