TruSight Oncology Comprehensive IVD

Test ID: M TSO COMP IVD CPT Code: PLA Code: 0543U
Expected Turnaround Time
21 days
Stated turn-around-times (TATs) are for clinical use only and subject to change based on biopharma protocol requirements. Final TATs will be specified in the biopharma study contract.

Clinical Information
TruSight Oncology Comprehensive IVD is a comprehensive genomic profiling assay based on NGS variant detection in FFPE tissue. Sequencing is performed using Illumina’s NextSeq 550Dx. This IVD assay currently has companion diagnostic (CDx) claims for NTRK and RET fusions. In addition, single-, multi-nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions in 517 genes with mutation frequencies = 5%, fusions in 24 genes, RNA splice variants in EGFR and tumor mutational burden (TMB) scores are reported.

Requisition Forms

Specimen Requirements


Specimen Requirements
  • Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block, 10% NBF fixed
  • FFPE tissue with a minimum of 20% tumor content and a tissue volume ≥ 1.0 mm3
    • Macrodissection may be possible if < 20% tumor burden is observed.
  • FFPE slides: 5 slides minimum, 10% NBF fixed. 
    • This volume is equivalent to a cumulative viable tissue area of ≥ 200 mm2 using 5μm thick sections, or ≥ 100 mm2 using 10 μm thick sections.
  • Necrotic tissue (≥ 25%) can interfere with the ability of the assay to detect RNA fusions.

Specimen Stability

Indefinite at ambient temperature


Storage Requirements

Ambient temperature


Shipping Conditions
Ambient

Shipping Recommendations

AMBIENT. Use a refrigerated (not frozen) gel pack in the shipment to protect from extreme temperatures.  Separate gel pack from specimen.


Specimen Rejection Criteria

Improper specimen labeling; insufficient tissue; insufficient tumor burden; >25% necrotic regions; insufficient RNA or DNA isolated.


Test Details


Keywords
Solid tumor, NGS, comprehensive genomic profiling, IVD, FDA-approved

Test Method
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)

Methodology Category
Molecular

Regulatory Status
FDA-Approved Companion Diagnostic (CDx), IVD

Special Considerations
  • For biopharma and clinical trial use, previously extracted and purified DNA and/or RNA performed in a CAP/CLIA-accredited laboratory is acceptable. It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that the initial specimen met the tumor content specimen requirements.
  • DNA stored at -25 to -15 oC has indefinite stability.  RNA stored at -85°C to -65°C has indefinite stability.

Associations

This test code should be ordered in conjunction with M NGS CGP.
