Higher risk of recurrence
for ctDNA positive patients1

Detect Recurrence Earlier
Detect recurrence before

Monitor Immunotherapy
Treatment Response
Track early changes in ctDNA levels to predict outcomes3
96% lower
Risk of death for patients who cleared their ctDNA by week 9 compared to patients with increasing ctDNA3
Better Biomarkers are Needed to Optimize NSCLC Patient Care
30-55% of NSCLC patients will develop disease recurrence post-definitive treatment (surgery; chemo-radiation)4
Guidelines for stage IB-IIA patients provide the option of either adjuvant systemic therapy or observation alone
Early detection of recurrence with less tumor burden may enable local treatment with curative-intent, potentially improving outcomes5

Identify High Risk Patients and Detect Recurrence Sooner
Signatera™ was evaluated in Martin et al 2024, a study in patients with stage I-II resectable NSCLC after surgical resection and during surveillance1
- Sigantera™-positive patients had a 27x higher risk of recurrence than Signatera™-negative patients
- Post-operative surveillance strategies were altered in 100% of ctDNA-positive patients (earlier radiographic imaging), and patients with PET scans positive for malignant features received early referrals for treatment
- Signatera™ detected relapse with a 5.5-month median lead time to imaging-confirmed relapse and 98% NPV (negative predictive value)


Evaluate Response to ICI Treatment in NSCLC
Signatera™ was evaluated in the EMPower Lung-1 trial, a prospective study in patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC randomized to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) vs chemotherapy for 1L treatment3
- Rising ctDNA by week 3 or lack of ctDNA clearance by week 9 identified patients experiencing inferior clinical outcomes
- ctDNA deep decrease (>90%) and clearance were associated with significantly improved OS
- Composite ctDNA & RECIST assessment may improve prediction of OS benefit from ICI

Reassure Your Patients Living With Lung Cancer
After JoAnn was diagnosed with lung cancer, Signatera™ detected a rise in her ctDNA levels, alerting her oncologist to a progression that was not scannable.
Watch JoAnn’s story to learn how she and her oncologist added Signatera™ testing to their toolbelt to help closely monitor her cancer.
“I want to know. The more you know, the better off you are.” – JoAnn, living with lung cancer
