LISA TRACKER® Chosen by Janssen Biotech for Its Program to Monitor Patients Treated with Remicade® in the USA

CROISSY-BEAUBOURG, France & MONTPELLIER, France--()--Regulatory News:

THERADIAG (Paris:ALTER) (ISIN: FR0004197747, Ticker: ALTER, PEA-PME eligible), a company specialized in in vitro diagnostics and theranostics, reports that, on August 29, Janssen Biotech Inc. announced the launch of a program to offer free monitoring tests to help healthcare professionals (HCP) better use Remicade® in treating patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

According to the terms of an agreement between Janssen Biotech and Miraca Life Sciences, the InformTxTM therapeutic drug monitoring tests will be provided within the framework of the Janssen2Inform program1. Based on the licensing agreement signed in November 20152 between Miraca Life Sciences and Theradiag, Theradiag supplies raw materials and has provided an exclusive “know-how” license to Miraca Life Sciences.

We are delighted to be contributing to this unprecedented new program launched by Janssen Biotech, Inc. with Miraca Life Sciences. This initiative will help increase the use of drug monitoring tests by healthcare professionals in the United States”, comments Michel Finance, CEO of Theradiag. “Sales of raw material to Miraca Life Sciences and royalties on Miraca’ sales represent a substantial growth potential in the United States for Theradiag”.

With the help of the Janssen 2Inform program, therapeutic drug monitoring test results will help HCPs evaluate how a patient is responding to treatment with REMICADE® and, in turn, identify necessary dosing regimen adjustments to optimize the patient’s response.

The Janssen 2Inform program consists of giving healthcare professionals access to two free Remicade® monitoring tests per patient per year.
