BALTIMORE, April 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sysmex Inostics, Inc., a global leader of the liquid biopsy revolution for oncology, is presenting the poster "Clinical evaluation of NGS-based liquid biopsy testing in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients" at the 112th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research on April 10, 2021, from 8:30 AM - 11:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).
In a recent collaborative study, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Sysmex Inostics' researchers showed that the next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based liquid biopsy SafeSEQ NSCLC panel delivers equivalent performance with broader genomic coverage than testing with OncoBEAM™ digital PCR (dPCR). OncoBEAM technology is widely considered a gold standard for high sensitivity molecular testing and continues to be one of the most sensitive dPCR approaches.
SafeSEQ technology demonstrates ultra-sensitive detection of low-frequency mutations, with a calling threshold of 5 mutant molecules (0.025% mutant allele frequency [MAF]) from whole blood. Concordance analysis of SafeSEQ and OncoBEAM results demonstrated an overall percent agreement of 99.6% for detection of mutations in EGFR, KRAS, and BRAF (>0.1% MAF).
The 5-year survival rate for metastatic NSCLC (mNSCLC) patients is relatively low; however, it has improved with the advent of targeted therapies and uptake of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) based technologies in recent years. In groundbreaking NSCLC clinical trials AURA and TIGER-X, patients positive for EGFR T790M detected in plasma by OncoBEAM had equivalent outcomes to patients positive by a tissue-based assay when treated with third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which have demonstrated potent activity against first-line EGFR TKI resistance mediated by EGFR T790M.

SafeSEQ NSCLC testing delivers broader genomic coverage than OncoBEAM, with the same ultra-sensitive detection for rare mutant molecules. Therefore, SafeSEQ is better suited to identify molecular mediators of treatment resistance to improve therapeutic strategies, delivering high-resolution monitoring of therapeutic efficacy, and enabling minimum residual disease (MRD) detection and recurrence surveillance for NSCLC patients.
Poster number LB053, "Clinical evaluation of NGS-based liquid biopsy genotyping in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients," presented by Hillary Sloane, Associate Director of Medical & Scientific Affairs at Sysmex Inostics, will be available Saturday, April 10, 2021, from 8:30 AM - 11:59 PM EDT during the 112th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research during Session PO.CL11.04 - Liquid Biopsies: Circulating DNA.
AURA Trial: Oxnard, GR, et al. J Clin Oncol 2016, 34 (28), 3375–82.
TIGER-X Trial: Karlovich, C, et al. Clin Cancer Res 2016, 22 (10), 2386–95.
About Sysmex Inostics
Sysmex Inostics, a Sysmex Corporation subsidiary, empowers discoveries in oncology by providing investigators cost-effective and ultra-sensitive quantitative liquid biopsy solutions SafeSEQ (NGS), and OncoBEAM™ (digital PCR).
Developed by experts at Johns Hopkins with the philosophy of "no molecule left behind," these technologies are optimized to ensure the detection of low-frequency mutant molecules (<0.05% MAF) with a high degree of specificity. Focused and flexible genomic coverage allows for superior sensitivity and reduced costs.
