BETHLEHEM, Pa. (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - CeGaT, a leading, innovative laboratory that provides a wide array of molecular diagnostics tests, has announced an agreement with N-of-One, Inc., the leader in clinical interpretation for precision medicine in oncology. Under this agreement, N-of-One will provide clinical interpretation for CeGaT's next-generation sequencing (NGS) tests done for cancer patients. Financial terms of the agreement are not disclosed.
CeGaT has developed a next-generation sequencing panel to analyze more than 550 cancer-relevant genes in a tumor sample simultaneously. Knowledge about the relevant mutations in a tumor helps clinicians select the most effective therapeutic strategies. CeGaT is partnering with N-of-One to provide high quality, up-to-date interpretation of mutations with very rapid turnaround times.
N-of-One's clinical interpretation provides the relevant biological and clinical knowledge related to the mutation profile of a tumor identified by sequencing. This in turn links the knowledge to relevant therapeutic strategies, in some cases including clinical trials.
