Test Background

Suitable for any patient with a solid tumor, the NeXT Dx test is a comprehensive genomics tumor profiling test based on augmented whole exome and transcriptome sequencing.

It works by analyzing the tumor’s genomic and molecular characteristics using clinical-grade, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to report small nucleotide variants (SNVs), small insertions and deletions (indels), copy number alterations (CNAs), fusions, MSI and exome-wide “true” TMB. Mutations in certain genes that may be germline in origin are reported as incidental findings. In addition, mutations in genes involved in homologous recombination repair (HRR) are highlighted when identified. A list of genes covered by the NeXT Dx test may be found here.

Industry Challenges

Many false positive variants
due to tumor-only approach

No germline variants
reported from tumor-only tests

Misses actionable mutations

Looks at DNA only

Difficult to add new biomarkers

TMB requires extrapolation
from panels

NeXT Dx™ Test Solution

Matched tumor-normal approach accurately identifies somatic variants

Germline variants are reported
as incidental findings

Fills in sequencing gaps left
by other testing solutions

Analyzes both DNA and RNA

Faster integration of new biomarkers

Gold-standard exome wide
TMB assessment
