Abstract

In vitro diagnostic devices play an important part in the field of clinical oncology by identifying patients eligible for treatment with specific targeted therapeutic products. This chapter briefly discusses the risk-based classification of in vitro diagnostic devices and the FDA regulatory review of these devices. In vitro companion diagnostic devices and the role they play in oncology clinical trials and critical elements such as the device analytical and clinical performance are also discussed. An example of a companion diagnostic device approval process is also provided.
