The AYVAKIT® CDx test kit is based on a real-time PCR fluorescent probe, specific primers, Taqman probes, and highly specific Taq enzymes to detect gene mutations. This enables the test kit to detect mutations with higher specificity and sensitivity in DNA samples. As a proprietary companion diagnostic for AYVAKIT®, the CDx kit can be used to effectively detect PDGFRA D842V gene mutation in GIST patients, providing accurate molecular diagnosis for targeted drug application which may translate into durable clinical benefits for these patients.
