BRACAnalysis CDx®
Germline Companion Diagnostic Test

Identify patients with germline BRCA1/2 mutations who may be eligible for certain targeted therapies

BRACAnalysis CDx is an FDA-approved test used to identify patients with germline BRCA1/2 mutations who may be eligible for certain targeted therapies without delay. This test quickly and accurately provides results for patients with pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer who may benefit from PARP inhibitor treatment.

Germline BRCA1/2 testing helps you make the most effective treatment decisions for your patients

Germline BRCA1/2 status is a critical biomarker to help you determine the appropriate therapy for your patients with breast, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer. Cancer cells with a germline BRCA1 and/or BRCA2  mutation are more vulnerable to targeted therapies like PARP inhibitors.

BRACAnalysis CDx was designed and FDA-approved to quickly provide accurate germline BRCA1/2 reports so you can confidently recommend an appropriate PARP inhibitor without delay.

BRCA1/2 cancer types graphic

NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) recommend germline BRCA1/2  testing for certain patients with breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancer1 who meet testing criteria.

  • Patients who have a personal history of these cancers with specific features may meet testing criteria without having a family history of cancer.
  • Testing at diagnosis can help you quickly determine an appropriate treatment plan for your patients.

Breast cancer guidelines have changed

Updated breast cancer professional guidelines recommend germline testing for every breast cancer patient. The OlympiA clinical trial provides additional evidence that germline BRCA1/2 testing is imperative for your patients’ treatment selection.

BRACAnalysis CDx® is the only germline test approved by the FDA as a companion diagnostic for treatment with PARP inhibitors, as defined by the OlympiA trial.

Confidently recommend an appropriate PARP inhibitor with fast, accurate germline BRCA1/2 results

The results of each test component, along with the interpretation of variant(s) identified, will be delivered within 2 weeks (or 1 week for expedited pancreatic cancer testing). If multiple variants are detected, the overall test interpretation most relevant to patient management is based on the most severe variant identified.

Turnaround time matters for treatment decisions

You and your patients need to know their germline BRCA1/2 status quickly to make timely treatment decisions and minimize anxiety. BRACAnalysis CDx can report your patients’ germline BRCA1/2 status in less than two weeks after we receive the sample.

BRACAnalysis CDx also has a priority option for patients with pancreatic cancer with a one-week turnaround time. This accelerated process requires the use of the priority label for patients with pancreatic cancer.

Choose a test that brings you clarity in variant classification

Myriad Genetic Laboratories has over 30 years of experience in variant classification and reclassification of BRCA1/2. The resulting analysis and interpretation of the variants reduces the VUS rate in genetic test results and provides confidence for oncologists when determining the appropriate therapy for their patients.

43-63% of germline BRCA mutations identified at competing labs as variants of uncertain significance (VUS) can be definitively classified using Myriad’s variant classification program.2

How to test with BRACAnalysis CDx

A blood test is submitted to Myriad as part of the BRACAnalysis CDx test kit. Providers also have the option of reflex testing to a larger gene panel if the patient does not have a mutation in the BRCA1/2 genes.

Intended use – PMA intended use statement for BRACAnalysis CDx

BRACAnalysis CDx® is an in vitro diagnostic device intended for the qualitative detection and classification of variants in the protein-coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes using genomic DNA obtained from whole blood specimens collected in EDTA. Single nucleotide variants and small insertions and deletions (indels) are identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sanger sequencing. Large deletions and duplications in BRCA1 and BRCA2 are detected using multiplex PCR.

Results of the test are used as an aid in identifying patients who are or may become eligible for treatment with the targeted therapies listed in Table 1 in accordance with the most recently approved therapeutic product labeling.
