Molecular Residual Disease (MRD)
What is MRD?
Rapid generation of the patient-specific signature
Actionable insights from a single blood sample (< 8 mL)
Ultra-sensitive and
accurate
14 working days
turn-around time
Real time cancer monitoring with a single blood test
After effective medical treatment, such as tumor resection, a small quantity of residual cancer cells may remain in the body, undetectable to the resolution of standard-of-care imaging scans. MRD testing enables the identification of ultra-low levels of cancer cells present in the body.
Uncovering trends by using real-world data
Circulating Tumor DNA Allows for Early Detection of Recurrence And Precise Measurement of Tumor Burden.
Our ultra-sensitive test detects molecular traces of ctDNA through comprehensive tracking of the entire tumor mutation signature including aggregating complex features such as CNV and SNV. Therefore, an ultra-low number of cells can be detected compared to standard-of-care imaging.
A standardized workflow
Our standardized workflow from the test shipment to providing MRD report has been designed to ensure consistency, accuracy, and efficiency at every stage of the process.
Sequencing
Filter out noise and derive patient specific cancer mutational signature
Whole genome sequencing
We identify the genetic pattern of a patient’s tumor using thousands of data points across the entire genome.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MRD (powered by C2i Genomics) test and what does it test for?
C2inform is a personalized qualitative diagnostic tumor informed test for the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) – based Molecular Residual Disease (MRD) assessment by using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data for patients previously diagnosed with solid cancer.
How accurate is C2i Genomics MRD test?
MRD test is designed to be highly sensitive and specific. It can detect extremely low levels of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in a patient’s blood, allowing for the identification of residual cancer cells that might go undetected by conventional biomarker tests.
What information does the test report provide?
MRD test provides results in the form of a binary score (positive or negative).
What does a positive C2i Genomics MRD test result mean?
Test Positive: Estimated detection score is above or equal to a pre-defined threshold value – indicates MRD detection
What does a negative C2i Genomics MRD test result mean?
Test Negative: Estimated detection score is below a pre-defined threshold value – indicates MRD non-detection. A negative test result does not definitely indicate the absence of cancer.
What type of samples are needed for MRD testing?
Data is generated from WGS analysis of the following specimen types from each patient: Tumor tissue sample (Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE)), whole blood for both germline DNA from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs), and plasma for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).
What is the turnaround time for my MRD test results?
The turnaround time is 14 Days.
