N-of-One, Inc. Partners with Fox Chase Cancer Center to Provide Molecular Interpretation and Treatment Strategy Analysis for Patients Receiving CancerCode-45TM DNA Sequencing

N-of-One Partnership with Fox Chase Enables Efficient Delivery of Personalized Cancer Treatment Options by a Major Cancer Center

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--N-of-One, Inc., a leading provider of molecular interpretation and therapeutic strategies for personalized cancer care, today announced a partnership with Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, to provide molecular interpretation and treatment strategy analysis for genome sequencing and testing provided to advanced stage cancer patients through the Cancer Genome Institute at Fox Chase. Financial terms of the agreement are not disclosed.

“We selected N-of-One because their team of experts coupled with their informatics framework will enable us to rapidly grow our cancer patient base and expand our program”

Under the terms of the agreement, N-of-One will analyze the molecular profile and mutations identified through genome sequencing of each patient’s cancer and deliver comprehensive treatment strategy profiles, including data on approved and investigational therapies to Fox Chase physicians who have ordered the CancerCode-45 sequencing for a patient. The treatment strategy profile interprets and informs the findings from the test.

“We selected N-of-One because their team of experts coupled with their informatics framework will enable us to rapidly grow our cancer patient base and expand our program,” says Jeff Boyd, PhD, Executive Director of the Cancer Genome Institute at Fox Chase. “We are proud to be at the leading edge of this movement and excited to be partnering with N-of-One to provide the latest and most comprehensive clinical knowledge available to our patients.”

“Leveraging our thousands of personalized interpretation and treatment strategy reports delivered to date, N-of-One is very excited to develop each Treatment Strategy Roadmap™ for Fox Chase patients,” said Christine Cournoyer, Chief Executive Officer of N-of-One. “On a broader scale, we are helping hospitals design and implement comprehensive molecular diagnostics and treatment programs.”

Because N-of-One can incorporate data from any sequencing platform, diagnostic or bioinformatics system, it will integrate seamlessly with Fox Chase’s CancerCode-45 testing—which employs the most advanced DNA sequencing technology currently available, including the Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine.

“We are pleased to be providing actionable intelligence to a talented team of physicians, bioinformatics professionals and scientists at Fox Chase, which is anticipating the future of cancer care and building strong internal capabilities to provide cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment options to its patients,” said Jennifer Levin Carter, founder and Chief Medical Officer of N-of-One. “We believe that providing access to the latest data-driven knowledge and resources from the cancer field enables oncologists and cancer centers to be leaders in a competitive health care environment, assuring their patients that they are getting the best care possible.”
