Genes and biomarkers

Comprehensive assessment in a single test

FoundationOne® CDx comprehensively examines the tumour genome, assessing the four main classes of genomic alterations in 324 known cancer-relevant genes, while also reporting TMB and MSI, which can help inform eligibility for immunotherapies.1,2,15-23 In addition, FoundationOne® CDx reports high Loss of Heterozygosity (LoH), which may reflect if a tumour is homologous recombination deficient (HRD+) and which can help inform the use of poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors.24,25

In-depth report

In-depth report supports clinical decision-making5

A clear, in-depth report provides insights on your patient's genomic profile as well as associated targeted therapies, immunotherapies and relevant clinical trials.5 Approved therapies are ranked alphabetically with in NCCN therapy categories.‡ 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.5

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

1. Biomarker Findings

TMB and MSI status, which may help predict response to immunotherapy, as well as LoH status, which may help inform the use of PARP inhibitors

2. Genomic Findings

Clinically relevant alterations in 324 tested cancer-related genes

3. Pertinent negative results

Rules out important alterations that are not present


4. Therapies with clinical benefit

Approved targeted therapies (ranked alphabetically within NCCN therapy categories)‡ for the patient's biomarker findings and genomic findings

5. Clinical trials

Relevant trials that your patient may be eligible for, based on their genomic profile and geographical location

6. Genomic findings with no reportable options

To help you rule out uncertainty and determine the most appropriate course of action
