Foundation Medicine Launches FoundationOneTracker ctDNA Monitoring Assay for Research Use in Partnership with Natera

Foundation Medicine, Inc. and Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRA), today announced the launch of the research use version of FoundationOne(r)Tracker, Foundation Medicine's personalized circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) monitoring assay. FoundationOne Tracker uniquely combines Foundation Medicine's tissue-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) platform with Natera's expertise in ctDNA monitoring.

FoundationOne Tracker uses optimized algorithms for identifying tumor-specific variants and a personalized assay design that allows for the detection of ctDNA in plasma for use in both advanced- and early-stage research applications. Additionally, the creation of a robust, fully integrated workflow between Foundation Medicine and Natera is expected to provide rapid inclusion of ctDNA monitoring results into retrospective research studies.

"The addition of FoundationOne Tracker for research use provides our biopharma and academic partners access to Foundation Medicine's broad, advanced-stage CGP footprint," said Foundation Medicine's Chief Scientific Officer Priti Hegde. "In partnering with Natera, we have been able to leverage the best of both of our technologies to provide a cost-effective and efficient path to bring more personalized monitoring tools to our partners, and down the line, to physicians and patients, to help inform their treatment strategy."

"This partnership will help accelerate personalized ctDNA monitoring as the new standard of care in oncology," said Solomon Moshkevich, Natera's general manager of oncology. "With Foundation Medicine's strong track record of scientific leadership and its broad footprint within biopharma, we expect FoundationOne Tracker to become an important new tool for accelerating and improving drug development in oncology."
