Approval order statement
MAGE-A4 IHC 1F9 pharmDx is a qualitative immunohistochemical (IHC) assay using monoclonal mouse anti-MAGE-A4, Clone OTI1F9, intended for use in the detection of MAGE-A4 protein in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) synovial sarcoma tissues using the EnVision FLEX visualization system on Autostainer Link 48. MAGE-A4 protein expression in synovial sarcoma is determined by using the MAGE-A4 Tumor Intensity Proportion Score (TIPS), which is the overall percentage of viable tumor cells showing MAGE-A4 nuclear and/or cytoplasmic staining at staining intensity ? 2+. The specimen should be considered positive if MAGE-A4 TIPS (? 2+) is ? 75%.MAGE-A4 IHC 1F9 pharmDx is indicated as an aid in identifying adult patients with synovial sarcoma for whom TECELRA® (afamitresgene autoleucel), a MAGE-A4 directed genetically modified autologous T- cell immunotherapy is being considered.
