Our FDA-approved liquid biopsy comprehensive genomic profiling service offers a minimally-invasive option, alternative or complementary to FoundationOne CDx, for all patients with solid tumours at optimal times beneficial to their
treatment journey1-3

Genes and genomic signatures

FoundationOne Liquid CDx reports >300 genes and is able to detect both novel and known variants, including four classes of genomic alterations (base substitutions, insertions or deletions, copy number alterations and gene rearrangements), genomic signatures (MSl, bTMB) and Tumour Fraction, to provide prognostic, diagnostic and predictive insights that inform research or treatment decisions for individual patients across all solid tumours.‡1,2

The FDA-approved liquid biopsy service that reports both MSl and bTMB, pan-tumour genomic signatures that may help inform eligibility for immunotherapy.1-3,19-27

High sensitivity and specificity¥ for key genomic alterations, MSI and bTMB across all solid tumours.1,2

Reports Tumour Fraction, the percentage of tumour-derived circulating cell-free DNA, as a measure of the likelihood of detecting genomic alterations in the liquid biopsy sample.1,2

Faster treatment decisions

Quick and convenient single blood draw helps avoid invasive biopsies and enables faster treatment decisions1,28

FoundationOne Liquid CDx requires only two tubes of b lood from a single blood draw (2 x 8.5 ml whole blood) and has a turnaround time of less than 2 weeks from receipt of the sample at our laboratory to report, thereby allowing informed treatment decisions to be made faster.1,28

This may help reduce distress that patients may experience from long waiting times for scheduling a biopsy and receiving the results associated with tissue-based testing.12-15

FoundationOne Liquid CDx may also help reduce requirements for healthcare infrastructure and resources compared with tissue-based testing.29
Validation

Based on extensively validated comprehensive platform3,17,18

Like FoundationOne CDx, FoundationOne Liquid CDx is based on an analytically and clinically validated, comprehensive platform and bioinformatics workflow¶1-3,17,18,30

Clinical use in solid cancers

FoundationOne Liquid CDx is suited for all solid tumours including NSCLC, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer1,2,4-11,19–25,33–38

FoundationOne Liquid CDx covers guideline-recommended, and other clinically relevant genomic alterations and biomarkers for NSCLC, breast, ovarian and prostate cancer.1,2,4-11,19-25,33-38

FoundationOne Liquid CDx has demonstrated strong clinical utility

Our previous blood-based comprehensive genomic test demonstrated clinical utility for treatment selection at diagnosis in metastatic NSCLC in BFAST (Blood First Assay Screening Trial), a global, prospective cohort study.30,39
ALK+ prevalenceThe proportion of patients identified as ALK+ using blood-based testing (BFAST) was comparable to that previously reported using tissue-based testing (meta-analysis, range among Western populations)30,40LIQUID5.4%4.5%–6.4%TISSUE

BFAST used an earlier version of Foundation Medicine's current liquid biopsy service, FoundationOne Liquid CDx. The assay used in BFAST for measuring of ALK+ has been incorporated into FoundationOne Liquid CDx. For concordance results between these two tests, please see our ful l intended use at: www.foundationmedicine.com/F1LCDx.
ctDNA

Sequences circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA)

FoundationOne Liquid CDx sequences circulating cell-free DNA, which can originate from the primary as well as metastatictumour sites, thereby capturing the disease heterogeneity across the body as the disease evolves.1,2,14,15

In-depth report

A clear, in-depth report provides insights on your patient's genomic profile as well as associated targeted therapies, immunotherapies and relevant clinical trials1,2.4-11,41

Approved targeted therapies and immunotherapies for the patient's genomic alterations and biomarkers are ranked alphabetically within NCCN therapy categories (for additional information on the NCCN therapy categories please refer to the NCCN Compendium® at www.nccn.org).

When using different Foundation Medicine services across the patient journey, consistency of the reports aid comparison of the results.41,42

The FoundationOne Liquid CDx report includes historic patient findings from earlier FoundationOne tests, allowing you to follow your patient’s genomic profile across their disease journey (availability depending local country data protection regulation).41
