Hear an expert discuss how Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) is utilizing
the oncoReveal® Nexus 21-gene panel to redefine turnaround time and actionable insights
in cancer care. Dr. Ewalt shares a perceptive look at the clinical need for rapid, front-line NGS sequencing, and how a unique, purpose built targeted NGS panel (Pillar Biosciences’ oncoReveal Nexus 21 gene Panel) was developed, validated and implemented clinically by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK-REACT) to complement their current comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) approach.
Webinar presenter Mark Ewalt, MD, Associate Medical Director for Laboratory Operations for Diagnostic Molecular Pathology in the Molecular Diagnostics Service, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, MSKCC.

March 2019—Roche announced FDA approval of Tecentriq (atezolizumab) in combination with Avastin (bevacizumab) and paclitaxel and carboplatin for the initial treatment of people with metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations.
March 2019—Nova Biomedical has been awarded a multiyear group purchasing agreement for critical care blood gas analyzers from Premier. The agreement allows Premier members to take advantage of special, prenegotiated pricing and terms for Nova’s Stat Profile Prime Plus critical care blood gas analyzers and consumables in addition to Nova’s 10-test Prime.
March 2019—Qiagen released a bioinformatics analysis tool designed to bring the company’s sequencing analysis solutions to biologists who do not have a primary focus on bioinformatics.
March 2019—Quidel has received the CE mark for its Sofia Quantitative Vitamin D FIA for use with the Sofia fluorescent immunoassay analyzer for the quantitative determination of total 25-OH vitamin D from serum samples. The test is intended for use with the Sofia analyzer to aid in the assessment of vitamin D sufficiency and is the first quantitative assay on the Sofia.
March 2019—The Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Device Agency has approved Qiagen’s Therascreen EGFR RGQ PCR Kit for use as a companion diagnostic with Pfizer’s Vizimpro (dacomitinib) for EGFR gene mutation-positive, inoperable or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.
March 2019—Thermo Fisher’s ImmunoCAP Specific IgE blood test for Ara h 6, part of a line of assays for detecting specific peanut allergen components, has been cleared by the FDA for in vitro diagnostic use.
March 2019—Hycor Biomedical received FDA 510(k) clearance for its new allergy testing system, Noveos. Features of the system include a reduction in sample size (4 μL of serum per test), reduced blood-based interferences, less variability within allergen lots, increased accuracy, and improved walkaway time, the company reports.
March 2019—The FDA has approved ID Core XT, a molecular-based assay used in blood transfusion medicine to help determine blood compatibility. The assay can be used to determine blood donor and patient non-ABO red blood cell types. ID Core XT is the second molecular assay approved for use in transfusion medicine and the first to report genotypes as final results.
March 2019—EntroGen announced the availability of a lung cancer RNA panel intended for the qualitative detection of ALK, ROS1, and RET fusion genes, as well as MET exon 14 skipping mutations in human lung RNA.
