TMB Harmonization Project: Update on Efforts to Standardize TMB Measurements by High Content NGS Panels
Wednesday June 19th – 11:20am-11:35am
Accurate measurement of TMB is essential before establishing clinical utility as an I-O biomarker. NGS-based assays are designed to detect genomic aberrations in specific target regions. These approaches need further testing. We’ll review results from multiple NGS TMB panels compared to WES using reference materials designed to harmonize TMB testing.

Genomic Biomarkers for Oncology Rx: Challenges to LDTs and CDx Commercialization in the Era of NGS
Thursday June 20th – 11:30am-12:00pm
Next-generation sequencing is the dominant platform for nucleic acid-based biomarker development for solid tumor and liquid biopsies. However, recent studies shown assay discordance especially in liquid biopsy confounding the use technology. This presentation will discuss different approaches to assess LDT performance and support CDx adoption for improved cancer genotyping in global markets.
