Zymeworks Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a diverse pipeline of novel, multifunctional biotherapeutics to improve the standard of care for difficult-to-treat diseases, announced that FDA has cleared the investigational new drug application for ZW171, a novel 2+1 T-cell targeting bispecific antibody for mesothelin-expressing cancers.
A federal judge ruled that the FDA lacks the statutory authority to regulate laboratory developed tests, finding squarely in favor of plaintiffs in the consolidated lawsuits brought by American Clinical Laboratories Association, Association for Molecular Pathology, and others. ASCP submitted an amicus brief supporting the plaintiffs.
