Immunology Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee

Immunology Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee
Meeting on October 14, 2011, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Agenda: On October 14, 2011, the committee will discuss, make recommendations, and vote on a premarket approval application for the Progensa PCA3 assay sponsored by Gen-Probe, Inc. The Progensa PCA3 assay is indicated for use in conjunction with other patient information to aid in the decision for repeat biopsy in men 50 years of age or older who have had one or more previous negative prostate biopsies and for whom a repeat biopsy would be recommended based on current standard of care, before consideration of PCA3 assay results. A lower PCA3 score is associated with a decreased likelihood of a positive biopsy.
