Scientist looking through a scope

Attain deeper insights about solid tumors with CGP

Cancers such as breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and colorectal cancer are complex diseases for which the number of biomarkers and tumor-agnostic treatments are increasing exponentially.1 For precision oncology strategies to be successful, clinicians and researchers must be able to distinguish the actionable genomic alterations in the appropriate disease context.

Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) is a next-generation sequencing technology that provides meaningful insights, uncovering the unique molecular signature of each tumor. Unlike single biomarker or hotspot assays, CGP is capable of detecting all four main mutation classes (single nucleotide variants, insertions/deletions, copy number variations, and rearrangements/fusions) known to drive cancer growth across a broad panel of cancer-related genes as well as key complex signatures. As such, it provides prognostic, diagnostic, and predictive insights that inform cancer research and, ultimately, enables precision patient care in a sustainable way.

Technological advances have increased the value of comprehensive genomic profiling to deliver more insights, more quickly, potentially offering significant savings in sample, time, and cost.

Leveraging the FoundationOne® Analysis Platform and the AVENIO workflow, AVENIO Tumor Tissue CGP Kits are part of Roche’s broad oncology portfolio that offers flexible solutions and support services to meet your research needs. With CGP solutions from Roche, you can achieve deeper genomic insights about solid tumors in your own lab, fostering discovery and advancing precision oncology.

Featured products

The AVENIO Tumor Tissue CGP Kit V2 includes the reagents needed to isolate DNA from FFPE tissue, prepare sequencing libraries, and enrich selected regions of interest using the AVENIO Tumor Tissue CGP Panel V2. It also includes a cloud-based secondary data analysis softw are called the FoundationOne® Analysis Platform as well as a data management software called AVENIO Connect. This ready-to-use kit uses a hybrid-capture based workflow for molecular profiling of DNA derived from FFPE solid tumor tissue. The AVENIO Tumor Tissue CGP Kit V2 helps labs consistently purify and enrich targeted regions in DNA from FFPE solid tumor tissue for sequencing. It provides lab professionals the ability to generate meaningful genomics insights from all classes of genomic alterations - Single-Nucleotide Variants, Insertions and Deletions, Copy Number Alterations, and Rearrangements - as well as relevant genomic signatures such as Tumor Mutational Burden, Microsatellite Instability, genomic Loss of Heterozygosity and Homologous Recombination Deficiency signature, using a DNA workflow. Each kit includes reagents for processing up to 24 reactions pooled into two to three sequencing runs of up to 8-12 libraries on an Illumina® NextSeq 500/550 or Illumina NextSeq 550 Dx in RUO Mode.

Meaningful insights

Accurate and relevant comprehensive genomic insights

Roche’s comprehensive genomic profiling solutions combine Foundation Medicine’s proven panel design and evidence-based analytics to deliver high-confidence genomic insights and fewer missed opportunities compared to single-biomarker and hotspot testing.

  • The AVENIO Tumor Tissue CGP Kits offer a comprehensive 335-gene panel. Aligned with the FoundationOne® CDx panel design,5,6,7 the kits detect all four major classes of genomic variants: single-base mutations, insertions/deletions, copy number variations, and rearrangements/fusions and detect complex genomic signatures such as tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), genomic loss of heterozygosity (gLOH), and homologous recombination deficiency signature (HRDsig).6,7,8

  • AVENIO Tissue Tumor CGP kits include the expertly curated FoundationOne® Analysis Platform, a cloud-based secondary analysis software built on Foundation Medicine’s proprietary evidence-based algorithms.

  • Roche CGP solutions also include compatibility with tertiary analysis softwares such as navify® Mutation Profiler, to provide relevant genomic interpretation with biological significance.9
Efficient workflows

Efficient and streamlined NGS workflows

AVENIO comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) kits offer both manual and automated workflows, providing streamlined, end-to-end solutions from tissue sample to result generation, ensuring simplicity and efficiency.

  • A fast, highly efficient, and safe xylene-free DNA extraction protocol ensures high DNA yields and quality from challenging formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples.10,11

  • AVENIO CGP workflows employ an enhanced library preparation protocol with a reduced, one-hour ligation time. This, combined with an optimized target enrichment workflow offering increased multiplexing capabilities, leads to lower per-sample sequencing costs.10,11

  • Roche CGP solutions offer end-to-end, automated data management with the user-friendly AVENIO Connect software (included with the kits). Key features include Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) annotation, automated data upload and download, and robust customer support.12

  • Both the manual and automated kit workflows enable streamlined, end-to-end workflows, with a less than five-day turnaround time from DNA extraction to result generation.6
