Termination of Material Definitive Agreement |
On February 18, 2026, Acrivon Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the completion and certification of its internally, wholly-owned and operated Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment (CLIA) certified laboratory, located on premises in Watertown, Massachusetts. With these in-house capabilities, on February 25, 2026, the Company and Akoya Biosciences, (“Akoya”) a wholly owned subsidiary of Quanterix Corporation (“Quanterix”), entered into a Termination and Transition Agreement pursuant to which they have mutually agreed to terminate (the “termination”) the OncoSignature Companion Diagnostic Agreement, dated June 17, 2022, by and between the Company and Akoya. The termination does not involve any financial payments from or to any of the parties to such agreement. Quanterix and Acrivon have agreed to a transition plan to ensure all applicable procedures, materials and know-how related to Akoya’s previous ACR-368 OncoSignature related testing and development activities are transferred to Acrivon. Acrivon will transition ACR-368 OncoSignature testing to its newly launched, fully certified, internal CLIA laboratory. By bringing CLIA operations and laboratory resources in-house, Acrivon believes that it has gained enhanced capabilities and efficiencies to support the development of its current and future targeted therapeutic agents. This includes full control over the identification of predictive biomarkers, the development of companion diagnostics, indication finding, and the streamlining of potential co-regulatory approvals and co-commercialization of therapeutic and diagnostic products. As part of the termination, during the transfer of clinical testing to Acrivon’s CLIA laboratory, Quanterix is expected to continue to meet all ACR-368 OncoSignature clinical testing requirements to support Acrivon’s ongoing registrational-intent Phase 2b study. Effective immediately and as part of the termination, Acrivon has ensured full development and commercialization rights to its proprietary ACR-368 OncoSignature test.
