AstraZeneca and Roche announce partnership to develop companion diagnostic test for AZD9291
28/07/2014
AstraZeneca today announced it has entered into collaboration with Roche to develop a plasma-based companion diagnostic test to support AZD9291, AstraZeneca’s investigational compound in clinical development for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

My understanding is that if AstraZeneca succeed with AZD9291, it will overtake Roche's Tarceva as first line drug for NSCLC and become a huge threat to Roche's future revenue, then why would they be willing to help AstraZenenca with AZD9291 development?
I wonder if the Roche is aware of the study conducted by the folks at Genentech on the combination of Tarceva + Ponatinib for addressing mutation issue? Thanks!
