RightOn Cancer Sequencing

Key Benefits

RightOn allows comprehensive and accurate cancer profiling faster and at lower costs than small cancer panels, and whole exome and whole genome sequencing, thus providing speed, information and cost advantages for advancing cancer research.

Comprehensive and Convenient

RightOn Cancer Sequencing targets 3.6 Mb of > 1,000 cancer genes. A large cancer panel enables comprehensive profiling of all cancer types with one single test.

Exceptional Coverage & Specificity

Achieve 100x minimum coverage on >98% of targeted bases with relatively low sequencing data. Achieve high specificity with precise coverage on targeted bases only. This deep coverage and exceptional specificity allow accurate profiling of common and rare cancer variants.

High
Sensitivity

RightOn Cancer Sequencing Kits detect low occurrence variants, as low as 5% in tumor samples, and work effectively with FFPE samples and low input DNA, as low as 25 ng of input DNA.

Low
Sequencing Costs

Offer significant savings on next generation sequencing with superior enrichment efficiency, and a target size at least 15 times smaller than whole exome sequencing, making it cost effective to be incorporated in cancer research that adopts the molecular disease approach.

Molecular Profiling

The Promises of Molecular Subtypes

Cancer is a complex genetic disease. There are over 100 different types of cancer and most cancers involve multiple genetic variants. In addition, patients with the same types of cancer often exhibit diverse genetic variation profiles, progression rates, and responses to standard treatments, presenting significant challenges for clinicians to provide accurate prognoses.

Recent research incorporating the Molecular Subtypes model has resulted in discoveries of genetic variants in cancer pathways, which in turn led to more targeted treatment therapies. As medical researchers continue to adopt the molecular disease model in cancer analysis, it will lead to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that drive the disease and open up opportunities for more accurate diagnosis and targeted therapies.

Challenges with a Fast-Evolving Cancer Genetic Landscape

As the number of cancer pathway discoveries and treatment therapies continue to grow, medical researchers are faced with the challenges of effectively incorporating the latest discoveries into their research for comprehensive analysis of the vast number of cancer pathways.

Molecular diagnostics with small cancer panels require multiple tests, which could quickly exhaust the small amounts of tumor cells in the samples. Whole exome and whole genome sequencing generate huge amount of data unrelated to cancer and are often too costly for routine cancer analysis.

RightOn: The Comprehensive Cancer Profiling Solution

RightOn Cancer Sequencing Kits enable comprehensive cancer profiling with one single test. A 1,000 cancer genes panel, coupled with superior on-target efficiency, provide a convenient, accurate, and cost-effective solution for profiling ALL cancer types.

Designed with an advanced enrichment technology, RightOn Cancer Sequencing Kits achieve 100x coverage for > 98% of targeted bases and can detect variants as low as 5% in tumor samples. This deep coverage and high sensitivity provide a convenient, accurate and cost-effective cancer enrichment solution best suited in a fast-evolving molecular landscape.

How Does It Work?

Cancer genotyping in the clinical setting demands high coverage to achieve the analytical sensitivity for detecting low frequency variants in heterogeneous specimens. At the present time, this is only achievable in practice with sub-exome targeted gene panels. Elim has developed a broad, 1000 cancer gene panel for next generation sequencing based on enrichment by liquid phase hybridization and targeting all coding exons and intron-exon junctions of the selected genes. The design of the panel contains 3 tiers of genes related to cancer:

1

Known oncogenes and tumor suppressors that are clinically actionable

2

Additional oncogenes and tumor suppressors for which clinical utility have not been demonstrated

3

Other cancer-related genes, such as tyrosine kinase, phosphatase, and vascular genes

The assay has been developed comprehensively as a library construction and capture kit (RightOn Cancer Sequencing Kit) which will accommodate small quantities of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded clinical DNA samples. Performance of the assay shows minimum 100X coverage for more than 98% of the target bases at a sequencing throughput of 5 gigabases per sample. Such high on target coverage allows robust detection for single nucleotide variants, insertions/deletions, and copy number changes. The kit has been validated with a variety of clinical specimens previously genotyped by traditional single base genotyping, PCR sizing, and fluorescence in situ hybridization techniques. This is one of the largest cancer gene panel developed so far with a focus on high coverage for sensitive detection of low frequency variants. In contrast to current commercially available exome capture kits which show incomplete coverage for many genes, the RightOn Cancer Sequencing Kit offers a nearly complete and high coverage cancer sequencing option for clinical application and discovery.
