Wednesday, November 20 | 11:00 AM – 1:50 PM (PT)

Illumina Corporate Workshops

A panel discussion on challenges and practice gaps affecting implementation of oncology precision medicine.
11:00 AM – 11:50 AM (PT)
Room 212 & 213, Level 2

Though biomarker testing is now considered standard of care for therapeutic decision making in cancer care, real-world evidence has identified several practice gaps, resulting in many patients not receiving biomarker testing results and/or matched targeted therapies.

The audience will take part in a discussion with an expert panel of two pathologists and an oncologist on:

• Challenges and practice gaps identified in precision medicine implementation
• Coordination of a multidisciplinary team to ensure optimal biomarker detection and targeted therapy utilization, leading to more favorable patient outcomes

Clinical scenarios demonstrating value of NGS using rapid, targeted panel and/or comprehensive approaches for oncology biomarker testing of tissue and liquid specimens.
12:00 PM – 12:30 PM (PT)
Room 212 & 213, Level 2

When choosing the optimal NGS approach for biomarker testing, there are a wide variety of factors to consider for successful delivery of results. The optimal specimen type (tissue and plasma) and sequencing approach (rapid targeted panel and comprehensive) needs to be considered for each patient case across cancer types. The audience will participate in a discussion with an expert on clinical scenarios that can impact NGS success rate and selection of the best specimen and NGS approach including:

• Limited tissue or DNA/RNA input
• Aggressiveness of patient’s disease
• Determining clinical trial eligibility
• Detection of gene signatures (i.e. TMB) & rare variants

Practical considerations for integrating enterprise-wide Pharmacogenomics (PGx)
1:00 PM – 1:50 PM (PT)
Room 212 & 213, Level 2

The growing evidence of pharmacogenomics across many clinical applications (oncology, cardiology, pain management) and the value-based care it offers has made its utility palatable across the healthcare industry. However, the lack of policy expansion or access and turnkey technology solutions has restricted adoption and utilization.

Atrium Health has researched and developed an integration model for enterprise wide PGx testing in a community-academic hybrid setting, developed in part with Illumina array technology. The considerations presented will likely guide labs and healthcare organizations with their approach to support PGx integration across service lines and align with system strategic goals and initiatives.
