What is FoundationOne Heme?

FoundationOne Heme is a laboratory developed CGP test combining DNA sequencing of 406 genes and RNA sequencing of 265 genes for patients with hematologic malignancies, sarcomas or solid tumors where RNA sequencing is desired. FoundationOne Heme detects known, novel and complex fusion events as well as other common genomic alterations (substitutions, indels, and copy number variations). The test can be used by physicians to identify targeted therapy options, detect alterations in prognostic genes, and sub-classify sarcoma diagnoses.

Overview

FoundationOne Heme

  • >400

    DNA-sequenced genes

  • >30

    select introns profiled

  • >250

    RNA-sequenced genes

  1. A single test that detects the four main classes of genomic alterations for hematologic cancers, sarcomas, and solid tumors where RNA sequencing is desired
  2. Uses both DNA and RNA sequencing for sensitive detection of translocations and fusions
  3. Reports tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI), which may inform clinical decision-making and clinical trial enrollment

FoundationOne Heme has been validated to detect the four main classes of genomic alterations.

Validation Study in Blood

Published Clinical Study

Patient-derived xenotransplants (PDX) can recapitulate the genetic driver landscape of acute leukemias

These data emphasize the importance of genomic profiling of PDX and patient samples to ensure concordance before performing mechanistic or therapeutic studies.

Published Clinical Study

Antitumor response of VEGFR2- and VEGFR3-amplified angiosarcoma to pazopanib

This exceptional response to pazopanib treatment suggests that a subset of patients with angiosarcoma with genomic alterations in vascular signaling genes may respond well to pazopanib.
