Test selection matters, esp in genomics - HLA can be tested in tumor, blood with different mechanisms for false - and +
➡️high tumor purity and LOH lead to most false -
➡️blood sometimes needed when tumor QC is low at locus of interest
➡️bioinformatics algos matter

We're excited to share the launch of the PRECISION Challenge: a national initiative engineered to accelerate the next generation of oncology breakthroughs leveraging its foundational model.
The PRECISION Challenge aims to unlock breakthroughs in oncology at scale by providing access to data, funding, and expertise to multidisciplinary teams around the world who seek to make bold advances in cancer treatment and improve patient outcomes. We will announce the opening of applications for the inaugural cohort in the coming months.

#ASCO26: Don't miss our Industry Expert Theater this afternoon in Theater 2, Exhibit Hall A from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm CT.
Our Chief Scientific Officer, Kate Sasser, PhD, will join our Chief Medical Officer, Ezra Cohen, MD to explore how our comprehensive diagnostic intelligence platform transforms vast datasets into insights to ensure that no patient is left behind in the pursuit of better outcomes.
Introducing Tempus Preview: an application providing rapid, clinically significant insights that close the gap between the time of order and delivery of insights.
Representing a significant paradigm shift in precision oncology workflows, Tempus Preview offers preliminary results in the critical window between when a diagnostic test is ordered and when final sequencing results are delivered by surfacing key mutation predictions within approximately 24 hours of tissue receipt.

REMINDER: Join us this morning for #TEMInvestorDay with the Tempus leadership team and presentations from the our Diagnostics and Data & Applications organizations.
The event begins at 8:00 a.m. CT / 9:00 a.m. ET and can be streamed here: https://t.co/JV2ipsZnNh
We're proud to announce that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval for a tumor-only indication for our xT CDx next-generation sequencing platform. With this expanded label, Tempus is the first laboratory to hold FDA companion diagnostic (CDx) approval for both tumor-only and tumor-normal comprehensive genomic profiling.

*xT CDx is a qualitative Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based in vitro diagnostic device intended for use in the detection of substitutions (single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and multi-nucleotide variants (MNVs)) and insertion and deletion alterations (INDELs) in 648 genes in patients with previously diagnosed solid malignant neoplasms. The assay uses DNA isolated from Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue specimens and, when available, patient-matched blood or saliva specimens. Additionally, the device detects microsatellite instability (MSI) status based on a genomic signature from the tumor specimen only. The test is intended as a companion diagnostic (CDx) to identify patients who may benefit from treatment with the targeted therapies listed in the Companion Diagnostic Indications table in accordance with the approved therapeutic product labeling. Additionally, xT CDx is intended to provide tumor mutation profiling to be used by qualified health care professionals in accordance with professional guidelines in oncology for patients with previously diagnosed solid malignant neoplasms. Genomic findings other than those listed in the Companion Diagnostic Indications table are not prescriptive or conclusive for labeled use of any specific therapeutic product.
As a primary proof of concept, Tempus' model was utilized to analyze EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients treated with osimertinib, the current frontline standard of care third-generation EGFR-inhibitor. We assessed whether the model could accurately stratify response to the standard of care treatment of osimertinib in patients with known clinically actionable biomarkers like EGFR.
Without any pre-specified training, the model demonstrated:
▪️ Predictive Accuracy: A C-index of 0.802 for overall survival (p value < 0.001).
▪️ Significant Survival Stratification: Hazard Ratio of 4.536 (95% CI: [3.289, 6.255]) between high- and low-risk subgroups.

We're excited to announce a significant expansion of new indications to Next, our AI-enabled platform, establishing a new category of "real-time clinical intelligence" — a departure from legacy retrospective analyses and generic EHR alerts — designed to facilitate the delivery of precision medicine.
To demonstrate the real-world impact of these expanded capabilities, we are presenting a landmark study at #ASCO26: "Multi-center prospective study evaluating an AI-enabled clinical decision support tool to improve biomarker testing in early-stage NSCLC," on May 31 from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm CT. (Poster #518)
