“These results, combined with the patient satisfaction with the relative ease of providing blood rather than a solid tissue sample, suggest a clinical strategy of pursuing plasma NGS first, then tissue NGS if plasma NGS cannot detect relevant mutations.” 2

Study Overview
Published in JAMA Oncology, this large, prospective study enrolled 323 patients with advanced NSCLC and concluded that routine use of Guardant360® can increase the likelihood of finding targetable mutations.

Key findings
Key findings
were unable to get genomic results
from tissue biopsy
had targetable alterations* detected
by Guardant360® and tissue testing (n=82) versus tissue testing alone (n=47)
*EGFR, ALK, MET, BRCA1, ROS1, RET, ERBB2, or BRAF.
had an objective tumor response or stable disease based on RECIST
