Clinical validity

The Personalis NeXT Dx Test, based on the NeXT platform, should be considered when personalized therapeutic guidance is sought for patients with cancer. The NeXT Dx test is indicated for use on solid tumors where its required to send FFPE tumor tissue along with matched normal (blood or saliva), where samples are reviewed and selected by a pathologist as the most representative block for the patient’s diagnosis. The intended use of the NeXT Dx test is in-line with the rationale for molecular testing of cancers described in “Standards and Guidelines for the Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variants in Cancer: A Joint Consensus Recommendation of the Association for Molecular Pathology, American Society of Clinical Oncology, and College of American Pathologists” (PMID 27993330). Specifically, the NeXT Dx test should be used in situations where a more complete knowledge of the molecular alteration status of a cancer may assist in making clinical diagnosis and treatment decisions, determining prognosis, and determining patient eligibility for clinical trials.
