A leading comprehensive genomic profiling approach

CGP approach

Foundation Medicine approach broadly examines the tumour genome

The Foundation Medicine comprehensive genomic profiling approach* leverages next generation sequencing (NGS) technology to examine regions of the tumour genome that other tests miss.1–13 It detects both novel and known variants, including the four main classes of genomic alterations – base substitutions, insertions or deletions, copy number alterations and gene rearrangements – in a comprehensive set of cancer-relevant genes, and reports Tumour Mutational Burden (TMB) or blood Tumour Mutational Burden (bTMB), and Microsatellite Instability (MSI).† 1–7

* TMB reported by FoundationOne CDx and FoundationOne Heme. bTMB reported by FoundationOne Liquid CDx. MSI reported by FoundationOne CDx and FoundationOne Heme, MSI-H reported by FoundationOne Liquid CDx.

Clear in-depth reports

Clear, in-depth report supports clinical decision-making

Our clear, in-depth report supports clinical decision-making by providing insights on the patient’s genomic profile as well as associated targeted therapies, immunotherapies and relevant clinical trials. Approved therapies are ranked alphabetically within NCCN therapy categories (for additional information on the NCCN categories please refer to the NCCN Compendium® at www.nccn.org).

The report also highlights important disease-relevant genes with no reportable alterations identified and genomic alterations associated with potential resistance to therapy to help rule out potentially ineffective treatment.14

When using different Foundation Medicine services across the patient journey, consistency of the reports aid comparison of the results.

Validation

Extensively validated and supported by clinical evidence

Our services are supported by a large and growing body of clinical evidence with over 450 publications since the founding of Foundation Medicine.15,16 The validations of Foundation Medicine’s comprehensive genomic profiling services are published in top-tier peer-reviewed journals.4–7

*Comprehensive genomic profiling provides prognostic, diagnostic and predictive insights that inform treatment decisions for individual patients across all cancer types.
