Tumor Gene Profiling Test

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
A next-generation sequencing based tumor profiling test is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test intended to detect mutations in a broad panel of targeted genes that are somatically altered in malignant neoplasms from nucleic acids isolated from human clinical specimens obtained from patients diagnosed with malignant neoplasms using targeted next-generation sequencing.
Physical State
The device may include specimen handling, nucleic acid purification methods, specialized molecular reagents for target enrichment, library preparation and sequencing reagents, instrument systems and software. May also include algorithms based on sequencing results for the purpose of deriving a clinical decision point for a qualitative result output. Should not include devices intended for re-importation.
Technical Method
The device utilizes high throughput, massively parallel targeted sequencing including molecular reagents for target enrichment, library preparation, and sequencing using multiplexed polymerase chain reactions, sequencing instrumentation, and bioinformatics software. May also include algorithms based on sequencing results for the purpose of deriving a clinical decision point for a qualitative result output.
Target Area
Nucleic acids isolated from human clinical specimens [e.g., cell free, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from human plasma, DNA isolated from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue, etc.] and matched normal tissue or peripheral whole blood.
