A companion diagnostic (CDx) is a medical device, often an in vitro device, which provides essential information for the safe and effective use of a corresponding drug or biological product. The test helps a healthcare professional determine whether a particular therapeutic product’s benefits to patients will outweigh any potential serious side effects or risks.
In 2014, FDA issued “Guidance for Industry: In Vitro Companion Diagnostic Devices,” to help companies identify the need for CDx at an earlier stage in the drug development process and to plan for co-development of the drug and CDx test. The ultimate goal of the guidance is to stimulate early collaborations that will result in faster access to promising new treatments for patients with serious and life-threatening diseases.
