Knowing HRD status is essential in determining ovarian cancer treatment options

Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is present in approximately 48% of ovarian cancer tumors1, most often resulting from a mutation found only within the tumor. Some causes of HRD are well established, while others remain unknown2,3,4.

Determining HRD status for ovarian cancer patients can help provide information on the magnitude of benefit for PARP inhibitor therapy and bring you clarity in ovarian cancer treatment decisions.

Graphic of HRD status

There are limitations to determining HRD status when evaluating each cause individually

HRD resulting from epigenetic events such as BRCA1 promoter methylation will be missed with a gene sequencing approach.6,7

HR pathway gene mutations other than BRCA1 and BRCA2 are rare, and it is unclear if they are connected to HRD.8,9

There is a distinct genomic effect associated with HRD.3

Evaluating LOH, TAI and LST allows for the assessment of HRD regardless of the specific cause.3

MyChoice CDx determines HRD status in multiple ways for comprehensive results

MyChoice CDx examines ovarian cancer tumors using two methods (BRCA1/2 mutation and genomic instability) to determine a patient’s HRD status.

BRCA1 & BRCA2 status

Sequence variants + Large rearrangements

  • Detection and classification of sequence variants and large rearrangements
  • Identification of somatic and germline variants present in the tumor

Genomic instability status

LOH + TAI + LST

  • Comprehensive assessment of loss of heterozygosity (LOH), telomeric allelic imbalance (TAI) and large-scale state transitions (LST) across the entire genome

HRD Companion Diagnostic Test

The MyChoice CDx approach delivers the most accurate information for timely treatment decisions

Studies show that by using the methods below, MyChoice CDx can identify 34% more tumors with HRD than other testing methods that use %LOH alone6, ensuring you have the most accurate information to make informed treatment decisions.

  • 27,000 SNPs capture a more defined look into the genome vs %LOH which uses 3,500 SNPs only looking at a percentage of the genome.
  • Platform technology that analyzes BRCA1/2, to include sequence variance and large rearrangements, capturing 5% more than other platforms who do not have this technology.5,6

Not all HRD tests are alike

MyChoice CDx is named in guidelines

MyChoice CDx is the only test that is named in guidelines and is the only test that is listed in all the clinical studies that originated PARPi therapy in ovarian cancer patients.

MyChoice CDx is recommended by ASCO

Myriad MyChoice CDx is the only commercial companion diagnostic included in the new recommendations from The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) on the use of PARP inhibitors for the treatment and management of certain patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

MyChoice® CDx Myriad HRD Companion Diagnostic Test

MyChoice® CDx intended use

Myriad MyChoice® CDx is a next generation sequencing-based in vitro diagnostic test that assesses the qualitative detection and classification of single nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions, and large rearrangement variants in protein coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and the determination of Genomic Instability Score (GIS), which is an algorithmic measurement of Loss of Heterozygosity (LOH), Telomeric Allelic Imbalance (TAI), and Large-scale State Transitions (LST) using DNA isolated from formalinfixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue specimens.

The results of the test are used as an aid in identifying ovarian cancer patients with positive homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status, who are eligible, because of a positive test result for deleterious or suspected deleterious mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, or may become eligible, because of a positive test result for deleterious or suspected deleterious mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes or a positive Genomic Instability Score, for treatment with the targeted therapy listed in Table 1 in accordance with the most recently approved therapeutic product labeling.
