Know Cancer’s Next Move

How do you guide treatment decisions when next steps are unclear?

Signatera™ Molecular Residual Disease (MRD) Assay is a highly sensitive and custom designed test, using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to help inform treatment decisions.

Informing treatment decisions along the continuum of care

Use Signatera™ after surgery to evaluate the need for adjuvant chemotherapy.

Use Signatera™ alongside CEA and imaging to detect recurrence earlier.

Assess a patient’s response to treatment in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or immunotherapy settings.

Identify high risk patients with progressive disease who may benefit from earlier intervention or additional imaging.

Natera presentations at 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology

In partnership with our collaborators, Natera is proud to be presenting exciting new data at the  2024 European Society for Medical Oncology, further validating the use of tumor-informed ctDNA analysis to advance the care for patients with solid tumor cancers. See accepted data below to be presented at the annual meeting.

What is the significance of the data from ASCO GI?

The presence of post-surgical ctDNA has been shown to be the most significant prognostic factor and reinforces the predictive value of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT).

  • ESMO 2023: ctDNA positive patients who received ACT had significantly higher DFS at 24 months compared to those with no ACT (38.6%  v. 16.1%, p-value <0.01)
  • ASCO GI 2024: ctDNA positive pts with sustained ctDNA clearance after ACT were significantly associated with >90% DFS. For patients with transient clearance who ultimately recurred clinically or radiographically, 98% experienced molecular recurrence by 18 months
  • By analyzing the duration of clearance, we validate the power of serial testing: patients who clear their ctDNA has been shown to be a strong indicator of disease-free survival (DFS)

Fine tuning chemotherapy

As we have seen in the recently presented data, patients who do not clear their ctDNA are at an increased risk of recurrence. Listen in how one providers incorporates Signatera™ into to his practice with the goal to impact patient care.

Tracks Disease Burden Over Time via ctDNA Dynamics

  • Signatera™ is designed to accurately detect residual disease with an ultra-low level of detection (0.01% MTM/mL)
  • Real time ctDNA analysis can help inform important adjuvant therapy decisions
  • Signatera™ can also track ctDNA dynamics so you can gain real-time insight of disease burden.

Facilitating shared-decision making

Listen in to Keith’s incredible story about how he and his provider used Signatera™ to help inform next steps in his treatment journey.
