Investigation of the EGFR-T790M Mutation by ddPCR in NSCLC Brazilian Patients

27 Aug 2018

Circulating-free tumor DNA (cfDNA) harboring the T790M can be detected at low concentrations using highly sensitive ddPCR technology. Download this abstract summary of ddPCR cfDNA analysis in non-small cell lung cancer patients in Brazil, where investigators have validated liquid biopsy analysis in early phase clinical studies.

Clinical TrialsClinical Trials, an essential part of drug discovery process, assess the safety and effectiveness of a new medication or device in the pharmaceutical industry. Clinical Trials are a phased process (Phase 0, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV) which begins after initial preclinical testing.Droplet Digital PCRDroplet digital PCR (ddPCR) is a method of quantitative PCR that partitions a sample into droplets, allowing precise detection of low-abundance targets. It is commonly used in gene expression analysis and mutation detection.
