Covers over 1300+ gene fusionsIdentifies alterations in 500+ cancer-related genesThe AuraSeq-Comprehensive Panel is a highly multiplexed assay based on a next-generation sequencing platform. AuraSeq-Comprehensive identifies clinically relevant alterations in 500 cancer-related genes, including base pair substitutions, small insertions and deletions in thousands of mutational hotspots, as well as copy number variations, intergenic and intragenic fusions, and genomic signatures, allowing physicians to expand treatment options to include most FDA-approved targeted therapies.

Covers over 500 unique genes, to encompass 1.4 Mb of genome, and 1300 gene fusions

Detects single-gene biomarkers such as SNVs, indels, CNVs, fusions, and splice variants (for Molecularly Targeted Therapies)

Detects homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) signatures by assessing variants in 42 HRD genes and genomic instability with sample-level loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in key HRD genes, including BRCA1 and BRCA2 (for PARP inhibitors)

Renders complex multi-gene biomarkers for mutational signatures, including tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI) (for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors)

AuraSeq-Comprehensive upholds low QNS rates with high sequencing success rates (>98%) with as little as 2-20 ng of DNA/RNA from FFPE samples1

Highly automated workflow and streamlined bioinformatics analysis pipeline optimized for delivering results with a short turnaround time (TAT = 7-12 days)

TEST DESCRIPTION

The AuraSeq-Comprehensive Panel utilizes next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to detect cancer-related genomic alterations such as single nucleotide variants (SNVs), small insertions and deletions (Indels), copy number variations (CNVs), and gene fusions; as well as genomic signatures such as tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), and homologous recombination (HR) repair gene alterations and genomic instability due to HR deficiency (HRD).

This test is intended to detect genomic alterations in several metastatic or advanced cancers, including:

  •  Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (e.g.: EGFR, BRAF, ERBB2, KRAS, MET (METex14 and METamp), ALK-fusions, ROS1-fusions, RET-fusions). These genomic biomarkers are recommended by national guidelines.

  • Colorectal cancer (CRC) (e.g.: MSI, KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, ROS1-fusions, NTRK1-fusions, NTRK3-fusions). Most of these biomarkers are recommended by national guidelines.

  • Spitzoid melanoma (e.g.: TMB, NTRK1-fusions)

  • Gliomas (e.g.: IDH1, IDH2, EGFRamp, EGFRvIII isoform, 1p/19q co-deletion, NTRK1-fusions, FGFR1-fusions, FGFR3-fusions)

  • Bladder cancer (FGFR3-fusions)

  • Breast cancer (e.g.: BRCA1, BRCA2, HR genes, NTRK3-fusions, FGFR1-fusions, FGFR2-fusions, FGFR3-fusions)

  • Ovarian cancer (e.g.: HRD status, BRCA1, BRCA2, HR genes, NTRK3-fusions, FGFR1-fusions, FGFR2-fusions, and FGFR3-fusions)

  • Prostate cancer (e.g.: HRD status, ERG-fusions, ETV1-fusions, ETV4-fusions, FGFR1-fusions)

  • Pancreatic cancer (e.g.: HRD status, KRAS, SMAD4, NTRK1/2/3-fusions, ROS1-fusions)

  • Soft tissue sarcomas (e.g.: NTRK1-fusions, NTRK3 -fusions)

  • Any other advanced carcinoma which has failed to respond to conventional chemotherapy or is about to start tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) or a poly (ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor regime.

The detection of cancer-related SNVs, small Indels, and structural variants (SVs), including CNVs and gene fusions using NGS technology in solid tumors, has shown great clinical utility by providing informative genomic data to assist health care providers in making a diagnosis of cancer, estimating prognosis, and making treatment decisions involving molecular targeted drugs.2, 3 As new molecular targeted therapies become available in clinical practice, detection of targetable gene variants as well as genomic signatures is increasingly important in order to drive therapy of choice.

TEST ORDERING

The intended use of the AuraSeq-Comprehensive test is to detect somatic variants in multiple cancer driver genes and genomic signatures using NGS technology in advanced carcinoma samples to help guide therapeutic decisions, especially in those patients who have failed to respond to conventional chemotherapy or are about to start a TKI regime, Immune Checkpoint Inhibition (ICI), or PARP inhibitors (PARPi) therapies.

Physicians (or other individuals authorized by law to order tests) should only order tests that are medically necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of the patient.
