Analytical and Clinical Validation of the Oncomine Dx Express Test, an In Vitro Diagnostic-Labeled Assay, for Genomic Profiling of FFPE Tumor Samples

A new tumor-testing method reliably identifies genetic mutations in cancer samples, matching performance of more complex clinical tests.

This PubMed-indexed validation study examined Analytical and Clinical Validation of the Oncomine Dx Express Test, an In Vitro Diagnostic-Labeled Assay, for Genomic Profiling of FFPE Tumor Samples. The abstract reports that similarly, the ODxET assay showed high clinical concordance with the clinical trial assays for EGFR exon 20 insertions, with a PPA of 97;9%, a NPA of 100%, and an overall percent agreement (OPA) of 98;9%.
