Guardant360 Response

An earlier view of patient response to treatment


Guardant360 ResponseTM is the first blood-only liquid biopsy to view changes in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels from a simple blood draw to assess early whether a patient is responding to immunotherapy or targeted treatment. The test gives oncologists confidence ahead of scans that treatment is working when ctDNA levels are decreasing, or to allows oncologists to start planning next course of clinical action earlier when ctDNA levels are increasing.

Predict treatment response 8 weeks earlier than standard-of-care scans


RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) is the standard way for oncologists to measure patient treatment response and is based on whether tumors change in size. To use RECIST, there must be at least one tumor that can be measured on X-rays, CT scans, or MRI tests. Studies across cancers and therapies show the Guardant360 Response test can assess a patient’s treatment response 8 weeks earlier than standard-of-care assessing tumor response using RECIST measurements. 1-10

Molecular response predicts progression-free survival


Molecular responders show significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) rates compared to molecular non-responders across therapies and cancer types in multiple studies. 1-10

  • If ctDNA levels decrease 50% or more (molecular responders), treatment is likely working
  • If ctDNA levels increase (molecular non-responders), treatment is likely not working and the next course of clinical action may be considered by the oncologist
+ Sample requirement

Two 10ml streck tubes.

+ Storage and shipping conditions

Ship same or next day at room temperature. Do not freeze or refrigerate.

Remark: Guardant360 ResponseTM can only be bundle order with Guardant360® CDx or Guardant360 TissueNextTM.
