MyChoice CDx Plus HRD Companion Diagnostic Test –

the gold-standard HRD test for ovarian cancer

Why test for homologous recombination deficiency?

Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is present in around 50% of women with ovarian cancer.¹

PARP inhibitors like olaparib or niraparib offer these women better outcomes after initial chemotherapy and are proven to provide the longest progression-free survival interval in a first-line maintenance setting of HRD positive ovarian cancer patients.²

How MyChoice CDx Plus tests HRD differently

MyChoice CDx Plus is a next generation sequencing-based HRD test which accurately identifies HRD status for every woman with ovarian cancer – by targeting both upstream causes and downstream effects.

MyChoice CDx Plus uses a novel and proprietary measurement called genomic instability score (GIS) which targets three key biomarkers – telomeric allelic imbalance (TAI), loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH), and large-scale transitions (LST).

GIS gives a unique insight into the phenotype of genomic instability associated with HRD, allowing MyChoice CDx Plus to measure downstream effects of HRD^5,6,7

What about BRCA mutation testing?

MyChoice CDx Plus combines BRCA tumor mutation testing and GIS to go further in identifying:

• 2 times as many HRD positive patients as tumor BRCA mutation testing^8,9
• 3.5 times as many HRD positive patients as germline BRCA mutation testing
• MyChoice CDx Plus also incorporates large rearrangement testing of tumor BRCA to detect an additional 5% of mutations, adding a more comprehensive analysis of BRCA1/2 than traditional somatic gene assays.

HRD testing has life-changing consequences for every woman with ovarian cancer, and MyChoice CDx Plus is here to guide treatment decisions for each one

Intended Use

Myriad Genetics MyChoice® CDx Plus is a next generation sequencing based in vitro diagnostic device that provides sequencing and large rearrangement analyses on a panel of genes and/or detects genomic instability using DNA extracted from tumor specimens. Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) is determined by assessing the results of a subset of these genes and/or the Genomic Instability Score (GIS) Status. The test may be used as a companion diagnostic to identify patients who are or may become eligible for treatment with specific therapies in accordance with the approved therapeutic product labeling. Results are to be used by qualified health care professionals in accordance with professional guidelines in oncology for patients with malignant solid tumors.
