TruSight Oncology 500 ctDNA(TSO500 ctDNA)
A Hybrid-Capture Approach for Target Enrichment of 523 Genes Across Various Tumor Types
Gain an expansive view of your liquid biopsy samples by targeting 523 cancer-related genes using the TruSight Oncology 500 ctDNA assay. Not only does this assay identify all relevant variants (DNA fusions, SNVs, CNVs, insertions, and deletions) across various tumor types, but it also reports tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI) scores.
Our comprehensive genomic panel has advantages over individual biomarker assays in its ability to detect multiple biomarkers with one test, saving time, money, and samples. IQVIA Laboratories can meet your profiling needs by leveraging trusted technology from Illumina® in combination with our global laboratory network and expert support team.

An Efficient, Reliable Solution for Non-Invasive Tumor Characterization
Minimal input, extensive results
Obtain full exon coverage of 522 out of 523 genes using as little as 3 mL of plasma, 20-30 ng of cfDNA, or 10 mL of whole blood. TSO500 ctDNA can detect biomarkers without the need of a matched normal sample.

Simple, cost-effective workflow
Detect multiple biomarkers with a single assay to save time, money, and samples. The distributable kit enables global implementation.
Confident variant detection
Obtain a high-resolution view of variants enabled by TSO500 ctDNA’s hybrid-capture chemistry and unique molecular indices (UMIs).
Measurement of key immuno-oncology biomarkers
Gain insight into TMB score and MSI score in addition to variant calls. TruSight Oncology 500 ctDNA can reproducibly assess TMB.
Expansive services enabled by our global network
Our centralized, scientific operational oversight combined with our global laboratory footprint enable comprehensive, large-scale trial support. We enable clinical development support irrespective of geography.
Flexible customization to satisfy specific needs
