HUNTINGTON BEACH, California and AMSTERDAM, April 20, 2010
(ots/PRNewswire) -- Agendia, a world leader in molecular cancer
diagnostics, announced today it has closed an agreement with Ferrer
inCode for the commercialization of Agendia's FDA-cleared breast
cancer recurrence test MammaPrint in Latin America.

For the successful commercialization of MammaPrint, Ferrer inCode
will leverage the distribution power of its mother company Grupo
Ferrer Internacional, the leading Spanish pharmaceutical company in
Latin America. Ferrer products are sold in 18 Latin American
countries through subsidiaries, joint ventures and independent
distributors. In key markets such as Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela,
and Peru, Ferrer is ranked either first or second in terms of
distribution power.

"Capitalizing on Ferrer inCode's dominant position on the Iberian
peninsula, we are delighted to expand our strong partnership and make
MammaPrint available to doctors and patients in Latin America as
well," said Bas van der Baan, Vice President Commercial Operation
Europe/ROW of Agendia. "Ferrer has a strong presence in most of the
Latin American key markets, most notably in rapidly emerging
countries such as Brazil and Argentina, and has made great strides
towards reimbursement in a number of Latin American countries."

About MammaPrint(R)

MammaPrint is the first and only breast cancer recurrence test
cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA
clearance under the in vitro diagnostic multivariate index assay
(IVDMIA) guidelines requires clinical and analytical validation and
reporting systems to ensure patient safety issues are addressed.
Highly accurate, MammaPrint identifies patients with early metastasis
risk - patients who are likely to develop metastases within five
years following surgery. Several authoritative studies have shown
that chemotherapy particularly reduces early metastasis risk. In
planning treatment, the MammaPrint test results provide doctors with
a clear rationale to assess the benefit of chemotherapy in addition
to other clinical information and pathology tests.

All MammaPrint tests are conducted in Agendia's CAP-accredited
and CLIA compliant service laboratories. Breast cancer recurrence
assays currently marketed by other manufacturers have not been
subject to the rigorous FDA clearance process.
