Foundation Medicine Announces Commercial Launch of Liquid Biopsy Assay, FoundationACT(TM)
BusinessWire - Tue May 03, 3:02PM CDT
Foundation Medicine, Inc. (NASDAQ:FMI) today announced the launch of FoundationACT (Assay for Circulating Tumor DNA), an analytically validated and accurate blood-based circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assay that provides patients and oncologists with a new option for comprehensive genomic profiling when a tissue biopsy is not feasible or when tissue is not available. By analyzing circulating tumor DNA isolated from a patient's blood, FoundationACT can identify clinically relevant genomic alterations, and like Foundation Medicine's tissue-based genomic profiles, FoundationOne(R) and FoundationOne Heme(R), FoundationACT delivers this comprehensive molecular information in a concise report that matches the findings with potentially relevant targeted therapies and clinical trials.

New Data with FoundationOne(R) Supports Clinical Utility and Improved Outcomes from Molecularly Matching Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients to Targeted Therapy
BusinessWire - Thu Mar 24, 5:30AM CDT
Foundation Medicine, Inc. (NASDAQ:FMI) today announced the publication of two manuscripts that underscore the importance of integrating comprehensive genomic profiling with FoundationOne(R) into the management of patients with advanced lung cancer. Data from these studies demonstrate that comprehensive genomic profiling enabled identification of cancer-driving alterations that were or would have been missed by narrow, more limited hotspot testing. In both studies, researchers concluded that the discordant findings of the testing approaches underscore the fact that comprehensive genomic profiling consistently provides non-small cell lung cancer patients with more accurate and a broader range of treatment options, including clinical trials, versus narrow hotspot tests.
