Cizzle Biotechnology Holdings plc (LON:CIZ), the UK-based diagnostics company focused on developing a cost effective biomarker test to help detect early-stage lung cancer, has announced a strategic agreement with BBI Solutions, the world’s largest independent producer of immunodiagnostic reagents, to supply its first order of commercial propriety monoclonal antibodies. This collaboration is a significant milestone in Cizzle’s mission to commercialise its cost-effective biomarker test for early-stage lung cancer detection.
This initial order of CIZ1B commercial propriety monoclonal antibodies from BBI is crucial for advancing the clinical evaluation process, marking a vital step towards bringing the test to market. These antibodies will be manufactured at BBI’s ISO 13485-certified facilities and are expected to support up to 5000 assays for detecting the CIZ1B biomarker, which is strongly associated with early-stage lung cancer.
