therascreen PDGFRA RGQ PCR Kit

Approval order statement

Approval for the therascreen PDGFRA RGQ PCR Kit. The QIAGEN therascreen® PDGFRA RGQ PCR Kit is a real-time qualitative in vitro diagnostic assay for the detection of the D842V somatic mutation in the PDGFRA gene using genomic DNA extracted from Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) patients formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue. The therascreen PDGFRA RGQ PCR Kit is intended for use as a companion diagnostic test, to aid clinicians in identification of patients with GIST who may be eligible for treatment with AYVAKIT (avapritinib) based on a PDGFRA mutation detected result. FFPE tumor specimens are processed using the QIAamp® DSP DNA FFPE Tissue Kit for manual sample preparation and the Rotor-Gene® Q (RGQ) MDx instrument for automated amplification and detection. The therascreen PDGFRA RGQ PCR Kit is to be used by trained personnel in a professional laboratory environment.
