DECODED, a podcast from Foundation Medicine

Foundation Medicine

DECODED explores how Foundation Medicine's deep understanding of the genomic changes that contribute to cancer can direct patient-specific treatments. Through expert interviews, we get answers to questions about therapies that may transform patient care. Foundation Medicine offers a full suite of comprehensive genomic profiling assays to identify the molecular alterations in a patient’s cancer and match them with relevant targeted therapies, immunotherapies and clinical trials. Foundation Medicine’s molecular information platform aims to improve day-to-day care for patients by serving the needs of clinicians, academic researchers and drug developers to help advance the science of molecular medicine in cancer.

3. Using FoundationOne®Tracker to Bring Clarity to Treatment Response
Today we are speaking with Dr. Jerry Mitchell, a medical oncologist and Director of Field Medical Oncology at Foundation Medicine. Before starting at Foundation Medicine, Dr. Mitchell spent 18 years providing direct patient care in a leading Midwest community practice. Although now at Foundation Medicine, he continues to practice medicine. He has both participated in clinical research and published in leading oncology journals. Today he will be talking to us about FoundationOne®Tracker, a personalized tissue-informed ctDNA monitoring test that provides objective insights to help understand response to treatment for patients with advanced cancer across all solid tumors.

1. ctDNA Tumor Fraction Matters When Interpreting Liquid Biopsy Test Results
Today we are talking with Dr. Lincoln Pasquina, Director of Clinical Development at Foundation Medicine. Dr. Pasquina leads a team that is on the cutting edge of the newest advances in comprehensive genomic profiling. These genomic tests help providers with therapy selection for their patients, expand the number of people who can enroll in trials, increase access to therapies for patients, and accelerate new drug development. Right now, his focus is on liquid biopsy and Foundation Medicine's new ctDNA tumor fraction algorithm that improves confidence in the test, especially when supporting next step decision making concerning negative results.
