Northstar Response®-Informed Treatment Summary
BACKGROUND

RESULTS

TAKEAWAY
Longitudinal sampling and observed changes in TMS provided real-time insight into this patient’s treatment response and helped optimize therapeutic strategy at several key time-points.
Molecular progression detected by Northstar Response showed correlation with clinical progression across multiple monitoring intervals, demonstrating its capability as a convenient compliment to imaging. The assay’s ctDNA methylation-based approach enables precise, real-time monitoring of treatment response dynamics, evidenced by the quantitative TMS increase observed during the peri-operative treatment pause ( ) that aligns with expected tumor burden change.
After restarting treatment, the latest TMS result demonstrated a 4.1-fold decrease compared to the previous collection date, an indicator of decreased tumor burden.
