A leading comprehensive genomic profiling approach

Our 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 (MSl).†1-7

Multigene hotspot NGS tests

Multigene hotspot tests risk missing genomic alterations while comprehensive genomic profiling broadly analyses the genome to identify all relevant alterations

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). Reports vary according to regional differences, e.g. EU reports list EU-approved therapy options to support clinical decision-making.‡14

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 aids comparison of the results.

1. Biomarker Findings

TMB/bTMB and MSI status, which may help inform immunotherapy treatment decisions

 

 

2. Genomic Findings

Clinically relevant alterations in analysed cancer-related genes


3. Clinical trials

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

 

 

4. Therapies with clinical benefit

Approved targeted therapies and immunotherapies (ranked alphabetically within NCCN therapy categories)§ for your patients Genomic Findings and Biomarker Findings

Validation

Extensively validated and supported by clinical evidence

Our services are supported by a large and growing body of clinical evidence with over 500 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.
