Circulating Tumor DNA Panel – Colorectal / Lung / Breast
Discover the accelerated NGS with Reliable result for variant with ultra low VAF
Overview
Circulating Tumor DNA Panel for Colorectal / Lung / Breast Cancer
The detection sensitivity for low-frequency variants from sample with limited yield is of great importance to a ctDNA analysis kit.
Celemics has developed NGS ctDNA-based kits for colon, breast, and lung cancer assays through collaborative research with Seoul National University Hospital since 2017. We have integrated our market-leading proprietary technologies including hybridization probe design algorithms, noise removal techniques, and reagent optimization. The panel is thoroughly validated and ready-to-use for clinical diagnostics.

Highly Optimized Panel for Clinical Testing with Exceptional Accuracy
This is a complete performance validated panel, conducted with actual clinical patient samples through collaborative research with Seoul National University Hospital. Through the extensive validation studies, Celemics’ ctDNA panel verified assessment of 15 key genes for colorectal cancer, 27 for breast cancer, 28 for lung cancer.
Robust BI with Unique Molecular Identifiers(UMI) for ultra-low VAF detection
Receive high-quality data supported by Celemics proprietary
UMI algorithms and Bioinformatics software, enabling effective detection of ultra-low VAF by efficiently removing duplicates and generating consensus read, which will result in increased sequencing efficiency
Along with exclusive barcodes, Celemics also provides
our own-designed modular software allows seamless integration of Bioinformatics solution, from FASTQ to clinical report.
Proven variant detection performance even with low-yield challenging clinical sample
Detection sensitivity and specificity of ctDNA panels have been tested and verified with various actual clinical specimen.
Even with the template DNA amount as low as 10 ng, the panel demonstrated market-leading performance with superior sensitivity and specificity and these panels been supported by numerous peer review publications.
Exclusive Bioinformatics algorithms for accurate analysis
Celemics applies algorithms for eliminating the sequencing error and reducing noise to increase the detection sensitivity and specificity. By applying these exclusive pipeline features, we can provide accurate and reliable sequencing results to our customers.
We continuously monitor and improve of the noise removal technology by data accumulation
Simple workflow of circulating tumor DNA panel
- Able to assess ctDNA with ultra-low variant allele frequency (VAF)
- Simple workflow and easy-to-follow protocol
- Modular algorithm to be applied in the existing pipeline.
- Retrieves more unique reads than that from conventional duplication removal algorithms, reducing sequencing costs
- Noise removal and accurate calls due to proprietary consensus sequence generation algorithm

Purpose
Varlitinib is a pan-human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) inhibitor targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), HER2, and HER4. We present a phase Ib/II study of a combination of varlitinib and weekly paclitaxel as a second-line treatment for patients with EGFR/HER2 co-expressing advanced gastric cancer (AGC).
Result
Genomic alteration landscape in circulating tumor DNA analysis according to the progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and EGFR/HER2 immunohistochemical expression (n=15).
Conclusion
A combination of varlitinib and paclitaxel displayed manageable toxicity and modest antitumor activity in patients with EGFR/HER2 co-expressing AGC who progressed after first-line chemotherapy.
Method
The circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) was extracted from the patient’s plasma (10 mL) at two time points (before treatment and at the first response evaluation or end of the treatment). The DNA NGS library and solution-based target enrichment were performed at IMBdx, Inc. (Seoul, Korea), using AlphaLiquid100. The captured DNA libraries were sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA) in the 2×150 bp paired-end mode.
