This session explores the evolving role of RAS in precision oncology, from the biology of RAS mutations to the expanding landscape of targeted therapies. Through expert presentations, real-world case discussions, and interactive audience polling, participants will examine best practices for RAS biomarker testing across solid tumors, including lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. The session will highlight practical considerations for tissue and liquid biopsy, strategies to address testing gaps, and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration to ensure timely identification of patients who may benefit from RAS-targeted therapies.

May 2021—Roche launched the Cobas SARS-CoV-2 Variant Set 1 Test to detect and differentiate mutations found in variants that originated in the U.K. (B.1.1.7), South Africa (B.1.351), and Brazil (P.1). This research use only laboratory test can be used to help scientists track mutation prevalence and to assess potential impact on diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics.
May 2021—The FDA granted emergency use authorization for Abbott’s Alinity m Resp-4-Plex molecular assay, which detects and differentiates SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and B, and respiratory syncytial virus in one test. The test is CE marked and available in countries outside the U.S.
May 2021—Promega Corp. released its XpressAmp Direct Amplification Reagents. The product contains components for performing extraction-free preparation of viral samples for PCR-based amplification using commonly available PCR reagents from samples collected by nasopharyngeal swab in universal or viral transport medium. The reagents allow the user to perform direct amplification analysis in RT-qPCR following a 10-minute, room-temperature incubation.
May 2021—Quidel received FDA emergency use authorization allowing the company to market its QuickVue At-Home OTC COVID-19 Test for the qualitative detection of the nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2 from individuals with or without symptoms or other epidemiological reasons to suspect COVID-19 when tested twice over two or three days, with at least 24 hours, but no more than 36 hours, between tests. This test is authorized for nonprescription home use with self-collected direct anterior nares specimens from individuals aged 14 years and older or with adult-collected anterior NS samples from individuals who are two years old or older.
May 2021—Adaptive Biotechnologies Corp. launched its T-Detect COVID, a clinical T-cell–based test to identify people who have evidence of a cellular immune response against SARS-CoV-2. It uses Adaptive’s immunoSEQ technology to sequence T-cell receptors from a blood sample and identifies TCRs that the company has mapped for recognition of SARS-CoV-2 antigens.
May 2021—Qiagen announced the global launch of the CE-IVD-marked QIAcube Connect MDx, a flexible platform for automated sample processing available now to molecular diagnostic laboratories in the U.S., Canada, the European Union, and other markets worldwide.
May 2021—Seegene announced it has submitted its Allplex SARS-CoV-2/FluA/FluB/RSV Assay to the FDA for emergency use authorization.
May 2021—Thermo Fisher Scientific launched its Applied Biosystems TaqMan SARS-CoV-2 Mutation Panel, with a customizable menu of 22 verified real-time PCR assays for identification of SARS-CoV-2 mutations. The assays enable surveillance of variants that cause COVID-19 infection in specific regions globally and allow laboratories to choose which mutations to track.
April 2021—BD announced FDA emergency use authorization for its BD SARS-CoV-2/Flu assay, a molecular diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A and B that provides results in two to three hours. The test also has been CE marked to the IVD directive.
April 2021—Diazyme received FDA emergency use authorization for its Semi-Quantitative DZ-Lite SARS-CoV-2 IgG CLIA test, which runs on the DZ-Lite 3000 Plus chemiluminescence analyzer. The FDA granted Diazyme an EUA for its qualitative DZ-Lite SARS-CoV-2 IgG CLIA test in July and has now authorized the Diazyme IgG assay to be used as a semiquantitative test.
