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.

January 2025—The biochemical genetics and molecular technologies laboratories at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., reported in a recently published study that individuals with a TPMT*1/*8 diplotype displayed reduced thiopurine 6-mercaptopurine metabolism between that of normal metabolizers and intermediate metabolizers, suggesting that TPMT*8 is a reduced-function allele. That allele is common among individuals of African or African American ancestry (approximately 2.3 percent minor allele frequency), the authors write, but is not included in genotyping recommendations owing to its uncertain function.

December 2024—In a white paper released this fall, the CAP sets forth five recommendations to address private health insurers’ interference in patient-physician and physician-physician relationships by limiting the number of in-network physicians or exclusively contracting with particular providers and facilities. In the paper, “Examining the State of Health Care’s Private Payers and the Adverse Impact of Insurance Interference,” the CAP says “Two-thirds of the country’s population is covered by private health insurance, yet the coverage provided is less and less meaningful.”

November 2024—The College of American Pathologists on Oct. 7 filed an amicus brief in support of the plaintiffs in the consolidated cases American Clinical Laboratory Association, et al., v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration, et al., and Association for Molecular Pathology, et al., v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration, et al. Plaintiffs in these consolidated cases challenge a final rule setting out the FDA’s plan to regulate LDTs as medical devices under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. “The Final Rule imposes draconian new restrictions—and crushing compliance costs—on the development and use of LDTs,” the CAP says in its amicus brief.

October 2024—The two lawsuits filed by the American Clinical Laboratory Association and Association for Molecular Pathology that challenge the Food and Drug Administration’s final rule on laboratory-developed tests will be consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, according to a motion filed Sept. 9. During the weeks of Aug. 26 and Sept. 2, the parties to both actions conferred on how to litigate both cases “in a just, speedy, and efficient manner,” the motion says. It adds that all parties in both cases consent to the transfer of the AMP case to the Eastern District “and agree that, subject to this Court’s discretion, the two cases then should be consolidated for joint briefing and decision.”

September 2024—The Association for Molecular Pathology and pathologist Michael Laposata, MD, PhD, announced on Aug. 19 the filing of a lawsuit challenging the Food and Drug Administration rule that regulates laboratory-developed test procedures as medical devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against the FDA; Robert M. Califf, MD, in his official capacity as commissioner of food and drugs; the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; and Xavier Becerra, in his official capacity as secretary of HHS.

August 2024—The Association for Molecular Pathology published in July a joint consensus recommendation on DPYD genotyping. The intent is to provide guidance to clinical laboratories and assay manufacturers that develop, validate, and/or offer clinical DPYD pharmacogenomic testing. “Testing for variants in the DPYD gene can help identify individuals who may be at increased risk for severe fluoropyrimidine-related toxicity,” Victoria Pratt, PhD, co-chair of the AMP PGx working group and director of scientific affairs for pharmacogenetics at Agena Bioscience, said in a July 22 statement announcing the publication.

July 2024—The CAP, Association for Molecular Pathology, and Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer released in June their recommendations for tumor mutational burden assay validation and reporting. The joint publication summarizes the existing knowledge and challenges related to TMB testing. The authors make 13 recommendations related to testing, reporting, and publications on TMB assays.

May 2024—Risant Health has completed its acquisition of Geisinger as its first health system dedicated to increasing access to value-based care and coverage. Risant says the organizations together will create a new value-based care platform that includes best practices, tools, technology, and services to support community-based health systems.

April 2024—Member organizations of the Enduring Consensus Cervical Cancer Screening and Management Guidelines effort released in March their recommendations for the use of p16/Ki-67 dual stain for managing individuals who test positive for HPV.
