COMPANION DIAGNOSTICS FOR TARGETED THERAPIES

From development to commercialization, Tempus provides a data-driven approach to CDx partnerships leveraging a broad-panel platform used by thousands of oncologists.

xT CDx: FDA-approved Next Generation Sequencing CDx

xT CDx is a 648-gene tissue-based NGS-based test for molecular profiling of all solid malignant tumors, that also includes companion diagnostic (CDx) claims for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.

  • Broad tumor profiling for SNVs, MNVs, and INDELs
  • Microsatellite instability (MSI) status designation
  • Tumor normal match

Companion Diagnostic Indications

Tumor TypeBiomarker(s) DetectedTherapy
Colorectal cancer (CRC)KRAS wild type (absence of mutations in codons 12 or 13)Erbitux® (cetuximab)
Colorectal cancer (CRC)KRAS wild type (absence of mutations in exons 2, 3, or 4) and NRAS wild type (absence of mutations in exons 2, 3, or 4)Vectibix® (panitumumab)
xT CDx Technical Information (FDA Label)

xT CDx is a qualitative Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based in vitro diagnostic device intended for use in the detection of substitutions (single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and multi-nucleotide variants (MNVs)) and insertion and deletion alterations (INDELs) in 648 genes, as well as microsatellite instability (MSI) status, using DNA isolated from Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue specimens, and DNA isolated from matched normal blood or saliva specimens, from previously diagnosed cancer patients with solid malignant neoplasms.The test is intended as a companion diagnostic (CDx) to identify patients who may benefit from treatment with the targeted therapies listed in the Companion Diagnostic Indications table in accordance with the approved therapeutic product labeling. Additionally, xT CDx is intended to provide tumor mutation profiling to be used by qualified health care professionals in accordance with professional guidelines in oncology for patients with previously diagnosed solid malignant neoplasms. Genomic findings other than those listed in the Companion Diagnostic Indications table are not prescriptive or conclusive for labeled use of any specific therapeutic product. xT CDx is a single-site assay performed at Tempus Labs, Inc., Chicago, IL.
