Supports clinical decision-making

A clear, in-depth report supports your clinical decision-making by providing insights on the genomic profile of your patient as well as associated targeted therapies, immunotherapies and relevant clinical trials. The report also highlights important diseaserelevant genes with no reportable alterations identified and genomic alterations associated with potential resistance to therapy, to help rule out ineffective treatment.23

Reports four main classes of alterations spanning the DNA of 406 genes and the RNA of 265 genes in just 3 weeks following receipt of the sample at our laboratory1

Personalises treatment plans in haematological malignancies

FoundationOne Heme enables guideline-recommended testing to help guide diagnosis, prognosis and treatment selection, with the potential to improve patient outcomes.1,4-17
Haematological malignanciesImproves diagnosis • Confirms malignancy and disease subtype1,12,13Informs prognosis• Supports risk stratification and treatment planning1,4,11,14–17,24Supports treatment selection• Identifies targeted therapies, immunotherapies and relevant clinical trials associated with your patient’s genomic profile23

Using FoundationOne Heme for haematological malignancies

AMLTo identify genomic alterations for prognostication, therapy selection and clinical trial enrolment e.g. KIT, FLT3-ITD, NPM1, and CEBPA1,2,5 MMTo identify t(4;14), t(14;16) and del(17)p to support risk stratification as well as other genomic alterations that may guide therapy selection and clinical trial enrolment (e.g. KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and others)1,2,7,26MDS/MPNTo identify genomic alterations for prognostication, therapy selection and clinical trial enrolment e.g. JAK2, CALR, MPL and others1,2,6,10DLBCLTo identify genomic alterations to inform diagnosis and prognosis (MYC, BCL2, and BCL6) and those with known therapeutic associations (e.g. EZH2, TET2, CD79, PTEN and others)1,8,14,27ALLTo identify BCR-ABL1 and Ph-like fusions, point mutations which may confer sensitivity to TKIs, and other clinically relevant genomic alterations (e.g. JAK2, CRLF2 and others)1,2,4,25CLLTo identify genomic alterations which can inform prognosis (IGH gene rearrangements and TP53) and guide therapy selection (TP53, BTK and PLCG2)1,11,28,31

Personalises treatment plans for sarcomas

FoundationOne Heme helps guide diagnosis, prognosis and treatment select ion, with the potential to improve outcomes for sarcoma patients.1,3,18-20
SarcomaImproves diagnosis • More than 50 histological subtypes and new genomic findings which continue to refine sarcoma classification (e.g. CTNNB1 in desmoid tumours)18,19,20• Accurate diagnosis is a crucial first step in determining your patient’s treatment plan1,3,18–20Informs prognosis• Identifies gene fusions with prognostic value (e.g. PDGFRA in GIST, PAX7-FOXO1 and PAX3-FOXO1 in alveolar RMS)1,18Supports treatment selection• Detects NTRK gene fusions, an alteration found in certain sarcoma subtypes that is the target of emerging therapies1,32,33• Identifies GIST patients with KIT or PDGFRA alterations, which may predict response to targeted therapy1,3,19,34• Identifies relevant clinical trials, an integral part of sarcoma management given the limited number of therapeutic options1,3,19,21

High clinical utility in paediatric patients

  1. FoundationOne Heme is for haematological malignancies and sarcomas, which have relatively high incidences among malignancies in the paediatric population18,35
  2. FoundationOne Heme integrates DNA and RNA sequencing to identify complex genomic rearrangements, which are characteristic of haematological malignancies and sarcomas in paediatric patients1,13,35-38
