CENTOGENE Extends Strategic Partnership With Takeda to Continue Providing Access to Genetic Testing for Patients With Lysosomal Storage Disorders

  • Longstanding global partnership provides an efficient and timely diagnosis to patients with Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs)

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and ROSTOCK, Germany and BERLIN, March 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Centogene N.V. (Nasdaq: CNTG), the essential life science partner for data-driven answers in rare and neurodegenerative diseases, today announced the extension of an ongoing partnership with Takeda (TSE: 4502/NYSE: TAK) to diagnose patients with Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs).

Under the renewed agreement, CENTOGENE will continue to provide Takeda with access to diagnostic testing for patients around the world. The agreement was established to enhance patient access to rapid and reliable diagnostics for LSDs, including Fabry disease, Gaucher disease, and Hunter syndrome.

“Extending our longstanding partnership with Takeda highlights the continuing need to accelerate diagnoses for LSD patients globally and the ability of CENTOGENE to fulfill this vital service,” said Ian Rentsch, CENTOGENE Chief Commercial Officer and General Manager - Pharma. “Leveraging our targeted genomic and multiomic testing portfolio, we are uniquely positioned to deliver improved health outcomes for underserved patient communities, particularly in the rare disease sector.”

“We believe that great solutions require great collaboration,” said Kim Stratton, Chief Executive Officer at CENTOGENE. “From long standing partners like Takeda to new partners like Lifera, a biopharmaceutical company wholly-owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) in Saudi Arabia, we are committed to teaming up with global players to deliver life-changing answers to rare and neurodegenerative disease patients around the world.”

In January 2015, CENTOGENE originally entered into an agreement with Shire Pharmaceuticals, which was acquired in 2019 by Takeda, to provide diagnostic testing capability to enhance early diagnosis of patients suffering from rare genetic diseases.
