Myriad RBM Announces an Agreement with Sanofi to Measure Predictive Cardiovascular Biomarkers in Patients with Diabetes

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 25, 2016 – Myriad RBM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN), today announced that it will work with Sanofi, a global and diversified healthcare leader, to perform a biomarker analysis of blood samples from the Evaluation of Lixisenatide in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ELIXA) trial (NCT01147250).

“We know that cardiovascular risk is higher in people with diabetes and that cardiovascular disease negatively affects treatment outcomes,” said Riccardo Perfetti, head of Global Diabetes Medical Team, Sanofi. “Sanofi is committed to further exploring cardiovascular disease in this patient population. The biomarker work with Myriad RBM will allow us to further develop a molecular understanding of the cardiovascular risks in people with type 2 diabetes. Biomarker profiling supports our goal of developing potentially innovative new treatments for patients.”

Myriad RBM’s TruCulture® and Gene Expression Profiling Characterizes Immune Responses in Landmark Study Led by Institut Pasteur

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, September 7, 2016 – Myriad RBM, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN) a global leader in personalized medicine, announced today that researchers from the Institut Pasteur have published new landmark research from the Milieu Interieur Project relating to the ability to perform standardized transcriptome profiling based upon a variety of immune stimuli in the August issue of Cell Reports. The study looked at the expression levels of different genes in 25 subjects following TruCulture incubation with twenty clinically relevant immune system stimulants. The research demonstrated that expression levels from as few as 44 of the 572 genes tested could segregate responses from the various stimuli and reveal variations in immune response.

“We are excited by the results of this study which demonstrated that a relatively small subset of gene expression targets could explain the variability in immune response to different immune stimuli seen among patients,” said Matthew Albert, co-coordinator of Milieu Interieur and director of the Immunobiology of Dendritic Cells Unit at the Institut Pasteur. “The ability of TruCulture to perform this analysis in an ex-vivo environment is truly unique making it an invaluable tool for assessing potential biomarkers relevant to immune response in patients.”

Myriad RBM DiscoveryMAP® Technology Identifies Novel Biomarkers that May Predict Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Events in Patients with Diabetes

Protein Biomarkers May Accelerate the Future of Personalized Medicine for CV Disease

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov. 16, 2015 – Myriad RBM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN), today announced that its DiscoveryMAP® platform successfully identified combinations of 15 protein biomarkers associated with cardiovascular (CV) events or death in people with pre-diabetes or early type 2 diabetes, according to a study published by the journal Circulation.

“Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of deaths globally,” said Riccardo Perfetti, M.D., Vice President Medical Affairs, Global Diabetes at Sanofi, which sponsored the study. “We are optimistic that as we move toward personalized medicine, cardiovascular biomarkers will help us predict future events and possibly develop tailored treatment plans for patients that will save more lives.”

  SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 20, 2015 – Myriad RBM, a wholly owned subsidiary of Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN), today announced that it will assist the Institut Pasteur in a public-private research collaboration to fight the global tuberculosis (TB) epidemic. This research project is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation through a grant to the Institut Pasteur. The proof-of-concept study will evaluate patients with latent and active TB infections who are affiliated with the South African Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative (SATVI) clinical study sites. The goals of this study are to field-test Myriad RBM’s TruCulture® system as a point-of-care blood collection and immune response monitoring method and to stratify patients with active and latent tuberculosis.
