Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia has announced a partnership with N-of-One, a provider of molecular interpretation and treatment strategy profiles, which will be used to deliver personalized treatment to patients at Fox Chase.
Under the agreement, N-of-One will analyze molecular profiles and mutations identified through genome sequencing and deliver treatment strategy profiles to Fox Chase physicians who have ordered the CancerCode-45 sequencing for a patient.
"We are the link between the sequencing being done and the point of care," said Chris Cournoyer, CEO of N-of-One.
The treatment strategy profiles interpret and inform the findings from the test. According to Jennifer Levin Carter, MD, founder and CMO of N-of-One, after interpreting the molecular profiles, N-of-One comes up with additional treatment options 95 percent of the time, and 40 percent of treating physicians change their treatment strategy after receiving the interpretation.
