Optimizing Molecular Diagnostic Assay Development for RNA Targets: Enhancing Performance and Reducing Costs §

9–9:50 a.m.

Molecular diagnostic developers face both internal and external pressures to reduce costs and improve assay performance. For example, the reverse transcription step in an RT-PCR assay drastically increases complexity encountered in molecular diagnostics. Using fast, inhibitor tolerant, and lyo-compatible reverse transcriptases can help reduce the burden on developers by enabling short overall turnaround times, streamlining or eliminating purification, and simplifying shipping and storage. Selecting the appropriate components to address the challenges in your assay can be a daunting task. At Roche CustomBiotech, we are here to assist you in finding solutions and overcoming these obstacles. Explore our wide range of reagents designed for the unique requirements of centralized and point-of-care diagnostic assay development.

Unlock the Power of CGP Testing with an Enhanced Workflow with HRD Using the AVENIO Tumor Tissue CGP Kit V2 * 

10–10:50 a.m.

Precision oncology is rapidly evolving, often driving clinical trials through a biomarker-centric approach and identifying new treatment targets. The significance of genomic signatures, such as Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD), has grown considerably, necessitating ongoing advancements in assay and bioinformatics development. Roche and Foundation Medicine have introduced the updated AVENIO Tumor Tissue CGP Kit V2 * † (Research Use Only), featuring improved workflows and bioinformatics, shorter wet-lab procedures, reduced sequencing costs, the addition of emerging oncology genes, enhanced variant calling algorithms, and a new pan-cancer HRD signature developed by Foundation Medicine. The updated AVENIO Tumor Tissue CGP Kit V2 maintains robust performance while enabling laboratories to expand their sequencing research capabilities.

navify® Mutation Profiler ‡: Precise and Robust Tertiary Analysis of CGP Results, Featuring the Pioneering Pan-Cancer HRD Signature Score

11–11:50 a.m.

navify® Mutation Profiler ‡ (nMP) supports precision oncology research by converting complex NGS data into relevant insights. With up-to-date regional guidelines, approvals, and clinical trials, it offers a secure, cloud-based solution for variant interpretation and delivers comprehensive customizable or standardized reports. navify® MP is powered by expert-curated content for 19 solid tumor types and 48 hematological malignancies, encompassing >33,000 curated variants, >12,250 biomarker profiles, and >1,000,000 biomarker/disease associations. In conjunction with AVENIO Tumor Tissue CGP kits*, navify® MP provides functionality to interpret and report the new pan-tumor HRD signature (HRDsig) score. Leveraging a powerful algorithm trained on Foundation Medicine’s vast pan-tumor genomic database with over 100 unique genomic features, HRDsig distinguishes itself from all other HRD scores on the market.

Actionable Biomarkers in Early-Stage NSCLC

1–1:50 p.m.

This presentation offers an in-depth examination of the early stage-NSCLC biomarker landscape, focusing particularly on clinical data pertaining to PD-L1, EGFR, and ALK, given the increasing importance of immunotherapies and targeted treatments in the adjuvant setting. Despite the evident advantages of comprehensive biomarker testing, obstacles persist in ensuring broad access to testing platforms and accurately interpreting results. Using EGFR and ALK biomarker testing as a case study, we will explore its significance, available testing methodologies, and appropriate timing for its application. Furthermore, we will address challenges associated with EGFR and ALK testing, strategies for its integration in different practice settings, and clinical data demonstrating the importance of EGFR and ALK-targeted therapy in the adjuvant setting.

Overcoming Challenges in Congenital CMV Screening: Optimizing Laboratory Practices

3–3:50 p.m.

Congenital Cytomegalovirus (cCMV) screening presents unique challenges for laboratories, particularly due to the relatively low incidence of the condition. This workshop will explore the complexities of newborn cCMV screening using nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT). Participants will learn about quality management strategies to reduce false positives, including repeat testing. The workshop will also discuss the future of universal cCMV screening in the US, emphasizing the need for higher-throughput automated assays and cost-effective solutions. Join us to gain insights into optimizing cCMV screening protocols and overcoming the hurdles in making universal screening a reality.
