Akoya Biosciences and NeraCare Enter into an Exclusive Global License Agreement for the Development and Commercialization of the Immunoprint Test for Early-Stage Melanoma Patient Treatment Decisions
Tuesday, 10th December at 8:15 am

MARLBOROUGH, Mass. and FRANKFURT, Germany, Dec. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Akoya Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKYA), The Spatial Biology Company, and NeraCare, a leading developer of laboratory tests for the prognosis of melanoma, today announced an exclusive global license agreement to develop and commercialize NeraCare's Immunoprint test on Akoya's multiplexed immunofluorescent platform.
Building on the research collaboration between the companies announced earlier this year, the license agreement grants Akoya the exclusive right to develop, market and commercialize the test for clinical research, diagnostic development or, following regulatory approval, patient clinical testing as both a laboratory test or a distributable diagnostic on Akoya's PhenoImager HT platform.

Melanoma, the leading cause of skin cancer, sees over 235,000 new diagnoses every year, 80% of which are in early-stage disease (IA/IB/IIA). While these early-stage patients undergo surgery and subsequent monitoring, they are ineligible to receive effective adjuvant therapies approved for later stage melanoma.
NeraCare's Immunoprint assay addresses this critical unmet need by identifying early-stage melanoma patients at high risk of relapse, comparable to later-stage patients, making them ideally suited to potentially benefit from therapeutic options.
