Tailor treatment decisions based on somatic mutations in your patient’s tumor.
Project ACTT is speeding up cancer testing for targeted treatment selection during the pandemic through a minimally invasive circulating tumor (ctDNA) DNA test. The test, which requires a blood sample, is available as an alternative to some surgical tissue biopsies for patients with advanced lung, breast, or colorectal cancer.
At Canexia Health, we make high-quality cancer genomic information accessible and affordable with our clinically-validated assays, informatics, and support.
Only a small percentage of cancer patients receive genomic biomarker testing that could match them with targeted treatments demonstrated to improve outcomes. We pair the latest advances in oncology with machine learning to provide cancer professionals with the insights needed to make targeted treatment decisions for their patients.
Tailor treatment decisions based on somatic mutations in your patient’s tumor.
A minimally invasive option for biopsy, Follow It can also be used to monitor cancer progression or investigate treatment resistance.
Rapid, cost-effective, and clinically actionable, Fusions allows you the flexibility to isolate and interrogate relevant fusions.
Make more informed treatment decisions by using detailed results for therapeutic recommendations and expertly curated clinical trials information provided in our comprehensive reporting software.
Conduct world-leading mutation assays for cancer patients, right from your laboratory. Our cloud-based analytics platform allows partner labs access to our proprietary informatics software suite covering the full stack of molecular and computational quality assurance, genome analytics, mutation interpretation, and report generation.
“We have found the FIND-IT assay to be a reliable, quick and cost-effective tool for identifying driver mutations in fixed tissue samples from across Australia. This has had direct implications for identifying patients suitable for targeted therapies, especially those with lung cancer, colorectal cancer and melanoma. However, the scope of the test is such that there is also interest in the panel for patients with a variety of other cancers, including breast and endometrial cancers.” Professor Graeme Suthers, Sonic Genetics

Canexia Health's Chief Scientific Officer writes about the importance of combining different approaches to obtain correct results for ctDNA diagnostics. While high sensitivity is important, it must be contextualized with other key measurements.

Before COVID-19 lockdowns halted travel, I attended a community cancer conference in Washington D.C. last year. I had an interesting conversation with a community practice leader, Jessica, about how socioeconomic factors have a big impact on clinical outcomes. In the last few months, I have been researching value-based care innovations in cancer care. I was encouraged to find multiple examples of value-based care initiatives that also focus on reducing disparities. How are they approaching challenges of inequity in cancer care? Here are three initiatives with innovative approaches.

The COVID-19 pandemic has delayed thousands of surgical procedures across the country, including tissue biopsies needed for cancer diagnosis. But it’s also pushing demand for alternatives that allow patients to be tested for signs of tumours without even needing to enter a hospital. As part of a new pilot called Project ACTT, more than 800 Canadian cancer patients have been tested through liquid biopsies, which involve taking a blood sample and looking for signs of tumour DNA. That federally funded project, a partnership led by Vancouver-based Canexia Health, offers the potential for a more efficient alternative for cancer testing that can save hospital resources and lower the risk of infection.
Canexia Health’s clinically-validated and cost-effective assays, informatics, and support offer a complete end-to-end solution, from mutation identification to auto-generated clinical reports.
