BMS’s repotrectinib to have FoundationOne genomic sequencing companion diagnostic

Pharmaceutical Technology

FoundationOne CDx is a sequencing-based in vitro diagnostic device that can identify alterations in 324 genes from tumour samples. The ROS1 gene is altered in approximately in 1-2% of lung cancer patients. Exposure to environmental factors can cause gene fusion which leads to upregulation of the ROS-1 enzyme.
