InGen BioSciences Group, Partner of Choice in Theranostic Test for the TEDAC Project in Translational Cancer Medicine

CHILLY-MAZARIN, France, June 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –

InGen BioSciences, a company specialising in the development and commercialisation of
mono and multiparametric in vitro diagnostic tests, today announced its key implication in
the TEDAC project supported by the Strategic Industrial Innovation Programme of OSEO
(French public organisation) led by Erytech company.

TEDAC, Therapeutic Enzyme to Deplete Amino acids to treat cancer resistant to radio-
and chemotherapy, aims to starve cancer tumour of amino acids and therefore blocking their
development and multiplication, and to develop adequate monitoring platform to assess
early treatment efficacy. The overall objective is to improve personalized care to cancer
patients not responding to existing anti-cancer therapies. The TEDAC project brings
together experts such as Exonhit, AP-HP (Paris Public Hospitals), Inserm (National
Institute for medical research), Paris-Diderot University and Ingen Biosciences to support
Erytech innovation to fight cancer”

“We are very proud to be the partner of choice to develop the theranostic tests within
this highly important project,” comments Karine Mignon Godefroy, Director of Research and
Development at InGen BioSciences. “With our tests, clinicians will be able to evaluate
drug activity by assessing the amount of amino acids circulating in the blood and to
evaluate the adequate dosage and frequency of treatment for each patient, thus ensuring
optimal benefit.”
