Genomics Establishes Sequencing-Based Biotech Blue Ocean, Pioneering Precision Medicine in Taiwan

基龍米克斯自2001年成立至今,隨著科技演進及市場需求而擴充,從一代定序、次世代定序及生物資訊分析、人類及動植物全基因組分析到引進三代定序系統,規模已遠遠超越同業,為全台最大的商業基因體定序公司。

基龍米克斯從2008年起即進入基因檢測市場,分別於2011年及2013年開發標靶藥物基因檢測服務及非侵入性胎兒染色體檢測 (Non-invasive Prenatal Testing,NIPT),並成立醫學基因檢測事業部,產品策略著重在婦幼健康及癌症精準醫學用藥兩大方向。

婦幼健康


婦幼健康的市場產值預估超過二十億台幣。基龍米克斯的NIPT檢測是由彰化基督教醫院陳明醫師團隊開發,擁有台灣唯一具有演算法自主專利智財權,更是台灣唯一的NIPT檢測CAP認證實驗室。世界級的品質標準,已逐漸打開市場,年營業額逐年成長。因生活型態的改變,不孕人口增加,每年至少有一萬兩千例試管嬰兒出生。為因應此需求,再度引進彰基開發的『胚胎植入前染色體篩檢(PGS)』技術進入人工生殖的領域;更將陸續增加嬰幼兒營養代謝檢測、兒童潛能基因檢測、遺傳性乳癌及卵巢癌風險評估基因檢測,擴大婦幼健康的產品線。


癌症精準醫學用藥基因檢測


基龍米克斯從2011年即進入標靶藥物基因檢測市場,提供肺腺癌及大腸直腸癌病人組織的標靶藥物基因檢測。2016年積極佈線研發,領先市場成為唯一提供肺腺癌第三代標靶藥物液態活檢T790M基因檢測服務的公司。藉由抽取病人的血液,進行T790M基因檢測確認是否產生突變,可及早搭配使用第三代標靶藥物,有效延長病人存活期。而乳癌已成為國人罹患癌症第三名。化療過程中病患承受的痛苦,讓人對化療望之卻步。基龍米克斯於2016年成立Myriad在臺認證實驗室,提供準確、快速的乳癌基因檢測服務,評估患者未來十年癌症轉移風險,協助醫師和患者評估化療的必要性,此檢測服務已被各大醫學中心醫師採用。目前更積極發展全面性癌症用藥多基因檢測,持續搶進精準醫學基因檢測市場。


基龍米克斯秉持建立定序為本的生技藍海創業理念,領航台灣精準醫學基因檢測市場。在產前基因檢測業績倍數成長下,加碼佈局婦幼健康; 在肺腺癌的標靶藥物液態活檢的領先情勢下,持續投注研發能量於癌症精準醫學用藥基因檢測,全力攻佔倍數增長的醫學基因檢測市場。

Genomics Leads the Market in Liquid Biopsy Genetic Testing for Lung Adenocarcinoma Targeted Drugs

The number of new cancer cases has surpassed 100,000, as recently reported by the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Health Promotion Administration, which disclosed the latest ranking of the top ten cancers among Taiwanese people. Colorectal cancer and lung cancer once again claimed the first and second positions. Genomics (Genomics: 4195-TW) has long been committed to developing cancer genetic testing. After collaborating with pharmaceutical companies on second-generation targeted drugs for lung adenocarcinoma and colorectal cancer, and having provided genetic testing services, the company actively invested in research and development in 2016. It has since emerged as the market leader and the sole provider of liquid biopsy T790M gene testing services for third-generation targeted drugs for lung adenocarcinoma. Dr. Yu Cho Yuan, Chairman of Genomics, pointed out that most lung adenocarcinoma patients begin to develop drug resistance after 9 to 13 months of second-generation targeted drug treatment, often accompanied by the T790M gene mutation. Cancer cells remain dormant in the body, and free DNA clues can be found in the blood to detect whether drug resistance mutations have occurred. The newly developed liquid biopsy technology leverages this feature, utilizing simple blood sampling and genetic testing to identify suitable targeted drugs and provide patients with precise medical advice. Through blood extraction from patients, T790M gene testing can confirm whether mutations have occurred. When combined with third-generation targeted drugs, this approach can effectively extend patient survival. In 2016, the number of tests exceeded 500, and with the launch of third-generation targeted drugs, the number of tests is expected to steadily increase.
