Signatera™ for Sarcoma

Personalized, tumor-informed ctDNA molecular residual disease (MRD) testing to inform sarcoma patient care across all subtypes

Better biomarkers are needed to help inform sarcoma patient management

  • Sarcoma is an aggressive cancer that is diagnosed in ~17,000 patients annually across over 70 distinct histological subtypes, with up to 40% of patients experiencing progression to metastatic disease.1-3
  • Due to its heterogeneity, Sarcoma recurrence detection and treatment response monitoring can be challenging with standard imaging techniques and clinical assessment.

Signatera™’s clinical validation in the largest sarcoma ctDNA study to-date

A recent study conducted by Stanford University set out to determine if Signatera™ could help better detect recurrences and measure response to treatment4

  • The study assessed the correlation of Signatera™ results with imaging, stratified by sarcoma subtype, and followed patients through treatment, progression, and surveillance.
  • >2,000 samples were collected from 210 sarcoma patients across 5 tumor sites and >15 subtypes.

Detect recurrence early and monitor treatment response with Signatera™

Signatera™ detected sarcoma recurrence with 89% sensitivity and 100% specificity across tumor sites and subtypes

  • In leiomyosarcoma, the most common subtype in the cohort, sensitivity and specificity were 93% and 100% respectively, demonstrating a 95% ctDNA correlation.
  • For leiomyosarcoma patients who experienced progression, ctDNA dynamics during subsequent therapy were highly correlated with treatment response (90%).
  • All 16 patients who were serially Signatera™-negative remained recurrence free with a median follow-up of 22 months.
