Exploring the application of comprehensive genomic profiling in oncology therapy development
Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) is a method of testing that uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect multiple genomic alterations (mutations and gene rearrangements) known to drive cancer growth. These alterations (biomarkers) have been shown to correlate with response to therapy, making them useful as an aid to more effective trial design and potentially improved outcomes.
What will you learn?
- What are comprehensive genomic profiles (CGP)?
- The four classes of genomic alterations known to drive cancer.
- How CGP can contribute to cancer diagnosis and the precision medicine approach to treatment decisions.
- How researchers are exploiting this technology to help reshape oncology trials and design more personalized therapies.
Who may this interest?
- Scientists and Researchers working in oncology drug development firms
- CROs
- Oncology clinicians
