8:30 KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: Overcoming the
Limitations of Current Point-of-Care Testing
Methods – What the Future Holds for Diagnostics
Timothy Still, CEO, Sense Biodetection Ltd.
This talk will provide an overview of the current point-of-care (POC)
diagnostic testing landscape and the limitations of current methods. He
will examine how throughput, accuracy, and speed are of high value to
healthcare clinically, operationally, and economically, and how this new
technology can help to improve population health.
9:00 At-Home Testing: An Inflection Point for Adoption and Utility
Jordan S. Laser, MD, Medical Director, Department of Pathology and Laboratory
Medicine; LIJMC; Associate Medical Director, Core Laboratories; Director, Division
of Near Patient Testing, Northwell Health; Associate Professor, Donald and
Barbara Zucker School of Medicine, Hofstra/Northwell
The pandemic has catapulted virtual care and at-home testing into the forefront
of medicine. Many Americans have learned to manage their health virtually, but
health cannot be properly managed without the critical datapoint from clinical
laboratories. During this session, we will explore the landscape of at-home-
testing, which will include both at-home collection of clinical samples to be
mailed to clinical laboratories and point-of-care devices resulted in the home.
9:30 COVID-19 Catalyzed Acceleration in Mail-in Self-Collected
Samples for Sexually Transmitted Infection Testing
Yukari Manabe, MD, Associate Director of Global Health Research and Innovation,
Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins Medicine
COVID-19 has resulted in major disruptions in STI services, including
diagnostic testing. Many public health clinics closed or severely curtailed
in-person visits in lieu of telemedicine. The lack of walk-in services likely led
to under-ascertainment of STI’s. During that period,  self-collected mail-in
specimen laboratory-based testing has increased dramatically for both STIs
and COVID-19. Over-the-counter diagnostic testing for COVID-19 will also be
discussed and its implications for future STI OTC testing.
10:00 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing
10:45 Adapting to Home Testing and Remote Sample Collection: The
View from the Clinical Laboratory
Elizabeth M. Marlowe, PhD, D(ABMM) Senior Scientific Director, Head RD
Infectious Diseases  Immunology, Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic impacted healthcare delivery systems and
accelerated alternative delivery strategies. Remote specimen collection with
samples sent to a central laboratory as well as at home testing options have
shifted the paradigm in the patient journey. The goal of this talk is explore
how clinical laboratories are pivoting to meet the needs of alternative delivery
strategies for testing and the impact on the central laboratory.
11:15 The Role of Online Testing Programs in Support of at-Home
Test Development
Karen Tegan Padir, MBA, Vice President, Digital Product  Technology, Binx
Health
The COVID-19 pandemic has expanded the market for self-diagnostic products
by accelerating consumers’ willingness to test for more medical conditions
at home. However, some medical professionals are still reluctant to embrace
at-home testing. In this session, we will examine the barriers to implementing a
near patient lab-based diagnostic testing program and tools and technology to
overcome those objections.

Communities: A Tool for Healthcare Equity
AbdulRazaq A.H. Sokoro, PhD, Executive Director, Provincial Laboratory
Operations Diagnostic Services, Shared Health, Inc.
Health care equity is a cornerstone of healthy communities. Access to
diagnostic care is critical to disease management in communities. This
presentation will provide overview of a project launched to provide essential
diagnostic testing for screening chronic kidney disease in remote communities
in Manitoba, Canada, using point-of-care devices. The laboratory services
provided meets laboratory quality requirements while allowing for its

2:35 At the Corner of Access and Quality: Community Pharmacy as a
Public Health Destination
Kenneth C. Hohmeier, PharmD, Associate Professor, Director of Community
Affairs, PGY-1 Community-Based Pharmacy Residency Program, The University of
Tennessee Health Science Center
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the pace at which point-of-care
(POC) testing is being adopted in the community pharmacy setting. Increasing
numbers of community pharmacies are interested in developing their POC test
and treat programs, including large pharmacy chains, as the US increasingly
looks to this setting as a public health destination. After two years of the
pandemic, the question is not if community pharmacy will adopt, but how.

3:45 What Policymakers Have in the Works for POCT
Vince Stine, PhD, Director, Government Affairs, American Association for Clinical
Chemistry
In recent years, point-of-care testing has expanded rapidly. POCT is increasingly
performed in a variety of care settings, ranging from hospitals and physicians’
offices to pharmacies, assisted living facilities, and patients’ homes. Learn
what policy options legislators and regulators are considering as they seek
to balance patient access to testing with the need to assure the tests are
accurate and useful.
4:15 Innovative Clinical Applications of POCT in Different Settings
James Nichols, PhD, DABCC, FACB, Professor of Pathology, Microbiology and
Immunology, Medical Director, Clinical Chemistry and POCT, Vanderbilt University
School of Medicine
With the COVID pandemic, traditional POCT options in the hospital and clinics
have expanded POCT use into the community with pharmacy testing, visiting
nurses, and doctor on-call services providing more personalized patient care.
POCT is being conducted at sports, concerts, and other events. At-home self-
testing is increasing with reliance on remote doctor visits and telehealth. This

FRCPC, Elizabeth P. and Robert E. Allen Professor of Individualized
Medicine; Director, Infectious Diseases Research Laboratory, Professor
of Medicine and Microbiology, Co-Director, Bacteriology Laboratory;
Vice Chair of Education, Department of Laboratory Medicine and
Pathology, Mayo Clinic
In this presentation, the Mayo Clinic experience with targeted
metagenomic sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene in clinical
practice will be overviewed. The presentation will cover performance
of this type of testing on normally sterile body fluids (e.g., pleural fluid,
cerebrospinal fluid) and normally sterile tissues (e.g., heart valves).
Logistics of performing such testing clinically will be covered, as will the
incremental yield of NGS over Sanger sequencing.
2:50 Clinical Metagenomics: The Hype and the Hurdles
Benjamin Briggs, MD, PhD, CMO, CosmosID
Clinical metagenomics: a diagnostic in its infancy. While specific uses are
discovered, deployments engineered, case reports published; necessary
clinical evidence is lacking for broad uptake to be successful. In addition,
there are technological and methodological challenges which must be solved
before clinical metagenomics is mainstream. However, these obstacles will
be mitigated in clinical metagenomics as they have in other fields of medicine
encountering novel technologies, often earlier than optimistic projections.

8:30 Tailoring Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing to Improve
Patient Outcomes
Romney M. Humphries, PhD, Professor, Pathology  Microbiology  Immunology,
Vanderbilt University
Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) is one of the primary functions of
the clinical microbiology laboratory, and yet many laboratories take a ‘test and
report all’ approach to AST. This presentation will describe various strategies for
smart AST, from test methods, troubleshooting and reporting.
9:00 Optimizing Patient Care with Diagnostic Stewardship for Point-
of-Care Testing
Erin McElvania, PhD, D(ABMM), Director of Clinical Microbiology, NorthShore
University HealthSystem
Point-of-care testing provides rapid results which can be immediately used
for clinical decision making. It also can result in overuse, runaway costs,
and confusion when results differ from conventional testing.  Diagnostic
stewardship is essential for management of point-of-care testing. This
presentation will highlight the benefits, limitations, and how we can best
steward point-of-care testing for maximum patient impact.
9:30 Host Response Strategies for Infectious Disease
Ephraim Tsalik, MD, MHS, PhD, Associate Professor, Medicine, Center for Applied

The management of infectious diseases requires a holistic diagnostic strategy.
In conjunction with advances in pathogen detection, host response-based
tests provide a comprehensive understanding of a patient’s clinical state. A
combination of systems biology, machine learning, and integrated sample-to-
answer testing platforms has enabled the development of a growing number
of host response tests for infectious disease. Diagnostic stewardship will be
necessary to maximize these opportunities.

personalized treatment in cancer along the continuum of care.
9:00 Measuring Mitochondrial Priming for Predicting Response to
Cancer Therapy
Michael H. Cardone, PhD, Co-Founder, President  CEO, Eutropics
Pharmaceuticals
Most cancer treatments work though activation of the cell suicide program of
apoptosis. Cells that more readily die in response to various stimuli are referred
to as “primed”. Our next generation predictive diagnostic tests directly measure
priming in a way that overcomes liabilities of the indirect measurements. The
new method (PRIMABTM) relies on proprietary complex specific antibodies and
is seen as simpler, more robust, and more amenable to clinical use.
9:30 A Blood-miRNA-Based Complementary Diagnostic Predicts
Immunotherapy Efficacy in Advanced Stage Lung Cancer with High
PD-L1 Expression
Bruno Steinkraus, PhD, CSO, Hummingbird Diagnostics GmbH
We describe the discovery, validation, and mechanistic insight into a blood-
based 5-microRNA risk (miRisk) score that predicts survival of non-small
cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving immunomonotherapy of either
pembrolizumab or nivolumab and performs better than the gold-standard of
PD-L1 (Rajakumar et al., 2022, npj Precision Oncology. In press.).
10:00 Development of Reference Material for DNA
Methylation Measurement
Zhiyong He, PhD, Biologist, NIST
NIST, in collaboration with the Early Detection Research Network (NCI, NIH)

found that the net cost was $54,554, representing $4,509 per QALY gained. This
quantitative, retrospective examination of healthcare utilization associated with
rWGS-informed medicine interventions revealed approximately one-third of a
QALY gained per patient tested at a cost per QALY approximately one-tenth of
that typically sought.
3:50 Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing
4:30 KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: Do Medicare
Legacy Policies Threaten Progress in Precision
Medicine?
Bruce Quinn, MD, PhD, Principal, Bruce Quinn Associates, LLC
In 2013, as modern precision medicine was taking off, CMS
began bundling lab tests in the hospital outpatient setting, except genetic
tests. In 2022, this policy becomes increasingly impractical as advances
in areas like proteomics and AI move into pathology applications.
Pathology and proteomic testing are usually “bundled” into the cost of the
tissue biopsy or office visit. With separate payment for genomics, CMS
potentially discourages other fields of innovation.
5:00 Panel Discussion: The Evolution of Medical Policy and Coverage
Requirements in Genomic Testing
Moderator: Mark Hiatt, MD, MBA, MS, Vice President, Guardant Health
As technology surges, and a virus changes the world, what has changed, and
what has remained the same, with respect to what it takes for a diagnostic
technology to be endorsed in medical policy and paid for by a health plan? This
panel of experts will opine from their rich experiences as payers in the public
and private sectors, for both national and regional plans.

8:30 Extracellular Vesicle-Based Disease Diagnostics on a
Microchip: Finding Nanoscale Needles in a Nanoscale Haystack
David Issadore, PhD, Assistant Professor, Bioengineering  Electrical  Systems
Engineering, University of Pennsylvania
I will focus on our recent work on ‘digital assays.’ Digital assays – in which ultra-
sensitive molecular measurements are made by performing millions of parallel
experiments in picoliter droplets – have generated enormous enthusiasm due
to their single molecule resolution. We are developing a hybrid microelectronic/
microfluidic chip to ‘unlock’ droplet-based assays for clinical use.
9:00 Mechano-Node Pore Sensing for Disease Monitoring
Lydia Sohn, PhD, Chancellor’s Professor, Mechanical Engineering, University of
California, Berkeley
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is an essential therapy in treating acute pro-
myelocytic leukemia (APL); however, nearly 20% of APL patients are resistant to
ATRA. Currently, there are no biomarkers for ATRA resistance. Using mechano-
node-pore sensing (mechano-NPS), an electronic method to mechanically
phenotype cells, we have shown that ATRA-resistive APL cells are more stiff
than ATRA-responsive cells. I will discuss how mechano-NPS could thus
potentially be used to monitor APL resistance.
9:30 Using Neuronal-Enriched Extracellular Vesicles as Biomarkers
for Neurocognitive Decline
Lynn Pulliam, PhD, Professor, Departments of Laboratory Medicine and Medicine,
University of California, San Francisco
Our lab is interested in isolating neuronal-enriched extracellular vesicles
(nEV) from plasma to determine the state of the neuron in real time. We have
characterized nEVs using several techniques and interrogated the cargo from
people with Alzheimer’s disease, HIV and COVID with the aim of determining
plasma biomarkers for neurocognitive decline.

10:45 Nanoplasmonic Sensing Technologies for Circulating Tumor-
Derived Extracellular Vesicle Analysis
Hyungsoon Im, PhD, Assistant Professor, Center for Systems Biology,
Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School
Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained much interest as
circulating biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring. We
have developed various nanoplasmonic sensing (nPLEX) technologies for
the sensitive and robust detection of tumor-derived EVs directly from clinical
samples. In this presentation, I will discuss the nPLEX sensing technologies
and their applications for cancer diagnosis, and their future directions for
clinical translation.

1:35 The mDETECT Assay for Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)
Offers Sensitive and Quantitative Detection of Metastatic Disease
Christopher Mueller, PhD, Professor of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences,
Queen’s University School of Medicine
Our second-generation mDETECT liquid biopsy for Triple Negative Breast
Cancer is based on the detection of DNA methylation using a targeted next-
generation sequencing approach. In an independent validation, cohort is
achieved and AUC of 0.97 with a sensitivity of 93% for specificity of 100%, using
2 mls of serum. It has the potential to quantitatively monitor tumour burden in
this aggressive subtype of breast cancer.
2:05 Assessing Precision Medicine and Immuno-Oncology
Biomarkers by Circulating Tumor Cell Liquid Biopsy
Andi Cani, PhD, Postdoc, Daniel F. Hayes Group, Division of Hematology and
Oncology, Rogel Cancer Center; Department of Internal Medicine, Michigan
Medicine, University of Michigan Medical School
The success of precision and immuno-oncology rests on approved genomic
biomarkers such as mutations, copy number alterations, tumor mutation
burden, and microsatellite instability. While their assessment in ctDNA has been
developed, their measurement can be limited by low ctDNA tumor fraction.
CTC single-cell NGS is rather unexplored for complementing tissue and ctDNA
biomarker detection. We show feasibility and validity of this approach which
suggests further exploration of its clinical utility.
2:35 Clinical Validation of a Targeted Methylation-Based Multi-
Cancer Early Detection Test Using an Independent Validation Set
Minetta C. Liu, MD, Professor  Research Chair, Oncology  Consultant, Lab
Medicine  Pathology, Mayo Clinic  Foundation
A multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test used to complement existing
screening could increase the number of cancers detected through population
screening, potentially improving clinical outcomes.

group have identified opportunities for validation standardization, which will
facilitate additional clinical implementation.
4:15 Methylation of cfDNA as an Indicator of Cancer and
Metastasis Location
Megan Barefoot, Doctoral Student, Georgetown University School of Medicine
Cell-free DNA fragments released into the circulation from dying cells can
be traced back to the tissues and cell types they originated from using DNA
methylation, an epigenetic regulatory mechanism that is highly cell-type
specific. Decoding changes in the cellular origins of cfDNA over time can reveal
altered host tissue homeostasis due to local cancer invasion and metastatic
spread to distant organs as well as treatment responses.

Approaches to Predict Response or Resistance to
Immune Checkpoint Inhibition Therapy in Patients
with Solid Tumors
Klaus Pantel, PhD, Professor, Medicine  Director
 Chairman, Institute of Tumor Biology, University Hospital
Hamburg, Eppendorf
Clinical applications of liquid biopsy analyses include early cancer
detection, improved cancer staging, early detection of relapse, real-
time monitoring of therapeutic efficacy and detection of therapeutic
targets and resistance mechanisms. In particular, the detection and
characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell-free tumor DNA
(ctDNA) have received great attention as “liquid biopsy” biomarkers in
clinical trials on immune checkpoint inhibition therapy to predict response
or resistance.
9:00 Metastasis-Initiator Circulating Tumor Cells: One of the Keys to
Understand the Biology of the Metastatic Cascade
Catherine Alix-Panabières, PhD, Associate Professor and Director, Laboratory of
Rare Human Circulating Cells (LCCRH), University Medical Center of Montpellier,
France
The development of blood-based, tumor specific biomarkers called real-time
liquid biopsy such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have made significant
advances over the last years in cancer research. In my lecture, I will present
the hallmarks of the first and still only nine permanent colon CTC lines from
peripheral blood samples of a patient with metastatic colon cancer collected at
different time points during treatment and cancer progression.
9:30 Circulating Exosomes as a Liquid Biopsy Approach for Precision
Cancer Therapy
Sam Hanash, MD, PhD, Director, Red  Charline McCombs Institute; Evelyn  Sol
Rubenstein Distinguished Chair, Cancer Prevention; Professor, Clinical Cancer
Prevention-Research, Translational Molecular Pathology, University of Texas MD
Anderson Cancer Center
The field of liquid biopsy for cancer screening has expanded considerably in the
recent past, with applications ranging from single cancer screening to multi-
cancer screening. The current state of the field and the different performance
requirements for single cancer vs. multi-cancer will be presented using lung
cancer screening as a single cancer focus and as part of a multi-cancer screen
as a case in point.

OVERVIEW: EARLY CANCER SURVEILLANCE
2:15 Chairperson’s Remarks
Robert Smith, PhD, Senior Vice President, Cancer Screening, American Cancer
Society, Inc.
2:20 Multi-Cancer Early Detection Testing: Hopes,
Hypes and Progress
Sudhir Srivastava, PhD, Chief, Cancer Biomarkers Research Group, NIH NCI
Liquid biopsy (LB) is gaining momentum in its application for the early detection
of cancer because it is noninvasive, can detect multiple cancers, and is likely
to be acceptable in clinical practice either as an adjunct or a stand-alone test
in combination with the standard of care. The opportunities for such testing
to change the paradigm for cancer screening will be presented, along with
challenges that need to be addressed.
2:50 Global and Local Implications of Early Cancer Detection with
Multi-Cancer Technologies
Danny A. Milner, Jr., MD, MSc, MBA, FASCP
Multi-cancer early detection has implications that vary by geography and
tool performance. In high-income countries, MCED could lead to disruptive
innovation, creative destruction, and massive downstaging for cancer patients.
In low-income countries, MCED could also lead to changes with enormous
impact on morbidity and mortality, but less disruption. Why there is such
a difference, the barriers that exist for both, and an ethical way forward
will be discussed.
3:20 Measuring the Efficacy and Effectiveness of Multi-Cancer Early
Detection Tests: Are We Up for the Challenge?
Robert Smith, PhD, Senior Vice President, Cancer Screening, American Cancer
Society, Inc.
As advances in new cancer screening accelerates, early cancer detection may
become more feasible and accessible, and include a much broader group of
cancers. These technologies must be evaluated in the population to ensure
their efficacy and favorable balance of benefits to harms. To avoid stifling
innovation we must embrace the challenge to develop new approaches to
evaluation, including trustworthy new endpoints.

Vince Wong, JD, MBA, Chief Commercial Officer, Geneoscopy, Inc.
Haytham Gareer, MD, PhD, MBA, CMO, Medical and Scientific Affairs,
Geneoscopy, Inc.
Geneoscopy developed a method to reliably extract and evaluate stool-derived
eukaryotic RNA (seRNA) biomarkers, overcoming challenges in extensive
RNA degradation and high bacterial transcript burden. Using this technology,
Geneoscopy developed a multi-factor RNA stool test to detect colorectal
neoplasia in average-risk individuals, demonstrating ~40% improved detection
over existing non-invasive screening tests. Preliminary data has been shown
the platform’s feasibility for improved monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment of
other GI diseases.

NOVEL EARLY DETECTION BIOMARKERS
8:25 Chairperson’s Remarks
Danny A. Milner, Jr., MD, MSc, MBA, FASCP
8:30 Metabolic Profiling by NMR Gives Powerful Insight for
Cancer Diagnosis
James Larkin, PhD, Department of Oncology, University of Oxford (UK), and
Founder  CEO, Oxomics
The diagnosis of cancer in patients with nonspecific symptoms is a major
clinical challenge leading to poorer prognoses as patients are diagnosed late.
Here we show that biofluid metabolomics using nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR) can identify cancer in a cohort of 300 at-risk patients with high
sensitivity and specificity, before considering the larger possibilities for biofluid
metabolomics in the diagnosis and management of cancer.
9:00 Metabolism as an Information Layer for Multi-Cancer Early
Detection: The Role of GAGomes
Francesco Gatto, PhD, CSO and Co-Founder, Elypta AB
Liquid biopsies based on genomic biomarkers could make multi-cancer early
detection (MCED) realistic, but limitations include ~10% stage I sensitivity; the
inability to detect specific types like gliomas; complex assays; and potential
over-diagnosis. The potential of metabolism for MCED will be illustrated. Our
studies indicate that plasma and urine glycosaminoglycan profiles (GAGomes)
doubled stage I sensitivity and preferentially detected poor prognosis any-type
cancer with a simple IVD-ready assay.
9:30 Microbiome Driven Liquid Biopsy to Enhance Early-Stage
Cancer Detection
Sandrine Miller-Montgomery, PharmD, PhD, President and CEO, Micronoma, Inc.
Microbiome entered in 2022 the Hallmarks of Cancer. Yet, mostly gut
microbiome is considered at this stage. In our presentation, we will discuss the
importance of newly discovered tissue and circulating microbiomes in early
cancer detection as well as MRD or relapse monitoring. We will also cover the
potential to greatly improve treatment or drug clinical trials with this new set of
microbial biomarkers easily accessible in blood.

1:35 cfDNA Fragmentation Assays for the Early Detection of Cancer
Nicholas C. Dracopoli, PhD, CSO, Delfi Diagnostics
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) consists of small nucleic acid fragments entering the
bloodstream during apoptosis or necrosis. cfDNA fragmentation patterns
detected by low-coverage whole-genome sequencing can be used to detect the
presence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in a background of cfDNA mostly
derived from hematologic cells. This presentation will describe the development
of a blood-based, whole-genome, next-generation sequencing (NGS) test to
detect early stages of cancer.
2:05 Talk Title to be Announced
Stephen Hahn, MD, CEO, Harbinger Health
2:35 Addressing the Cancer Epidemic with Multi-Cancer Early
Detection (MCED)
Megan P. Hall, PhD, Vice President Medical Affairs, GRAIL LLC
A methylation-based MCED detects a common cancer signal across many
cancer types, generates a low false positive rate, and predicts the cancer
origin to direct downstream diagnostics. The performance of this MCED, the
underlying biology of the signal that results in a balance of detecting more
aggressive cancers while minimizing the risk of overdiagnosis, and the potential
impact of implementing MCEDs in conjunction with standard-of-care cancer
screening will be discussed.

This talk will provide an overview of the current point-of-care (POC) diagnostic testing landscape and the limitations of current methods. He will examine how throughput, accuracy, and speed are of high value to healthcare clinically, operationally, and economically, and how this new technology can help to improve population health. 9:00 At-Home Testing: An Inflection Point for Adoption and Utility Jordan S. Laser, MD, Medical Director, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine; LIJMC; Associate Medical Director, Core Laboratories; Director, Division of Near Patient Testing, Northwell Health; Associate Professor, Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine, Hofstra/Northwell The pandemic has catapulted virtual care and at-home testing into the forefront of medicine. Many Americans have learned to manage their health virtually, but health cannot be properly managed without the critical datapoint from clinical laboratories. During this session, we will explore the landscape of at-home- testing, which will include both at-home collection of clinical samples to be mailed to clinical laboratories and point-of-care devices resulted in the home. 9:30 COVID-19 Catalyzed Acceleration in Mail-in Self-Collected Samples for Sexually Transmitted Infection Testing Yukari Manabe, MD, Associate Director of Global Health Research and Innovation, Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins Medicine COVID-19 has resulted in major disruptions in STI services, including diagnostic testing. Many public health clinics closed or severely curtailed in-person visits in lieu of telemedicine. The lack of walk-in services likely led to under-ascertainment of STI’s. During that period,  self-collected mail-in specimen laboratory-based testing has increased dramatically for both STIs and COVID-19. Over-the-counter diagnostic testing for COVID-19 will also be discussed and its implications for future STI OTC testing. 10:00 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing 10:45 Adapting to Home Testing and Remote Sample Collection: The View from the Clinical Laboratory Elizabeth M. Marlowe, PhD, D(ABMM) Senior Scientific Director, Head RD Infectious Diseases Immunology, Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic impacted healthcare delivery systems and accelerated alternative delivery strategies. Remote specimen collection with samples sent to a central laboratory as well as at home testing options have shifted the paradigm in the patient journey. The goal of this talk is explore how clinical laboratories are pivoting to meet the needs of alternative delivery strategies for testing and the impact on the central laboratory. 11:15 The Role of Online Testing Programs in Support of at-Home Test Development Karen Tegan Padir, MBA, Vice President, Digital Product Technology, Binx Health The COVID-19 pandemic has expanded the market for self-diagnostic products by accelerating consumers’ willingness to test for more medical conditions at home. However, some medical professionals are still reluctant to embrace at-home testing. In this session, we will examine the barriers to implementing a near patient lab-based diagnostic testing program and tools and technology to overcome those objections. 11:45 Talk Title to be Announced Speaker to be Announced 12:15 Luncheon Presentation to be Announced Speaker to be Announced 12:45 LUNCHEON PRESENTATION: High-Sensitivity Microfluidic SARS-CoV-2 Immunoassay in a Community Pharmacy Nicole Schreiner, Clinical Services Manager/Owner, Pharmacy, Streu’s Pharmacy Novel technologies now enable lab-comparable testing to be performed in point-of-care settings.

Diagnostic Stewardship for Management of Point-of-Care Testing Erin McElvania, PhD, D(ABMM), Director of Clinical Microbiology, NorthShore University HealthSystem •  What are some examples of when diagnostic stewardship can be helpful and when it can be harmful? •  Who is in charge of diagnostic stewardship for point-of-care testing at your institution? •  What are some successful stewardship strategies that have worked at your institution and why? •  What are some strategies that didn’t work and why?​ DIAGNOSTIC STEWARDSHIP 8:25 Chairperson’s Remarks Jennifer Dien Bard, PhD, D(ABMM), Director, Microbiology and Virology, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles; Associate Professor, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California 8:30 Tailoring Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing to Improve Patient Outcomes Romney M. Humphries, PhD, Professor, Pathology Microbiology Immunology, Vanderbilt University Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) is one of the primary functions of the clinical microbiology laboratory, and yet many laboratories take a ‘test and report all’ approach to AST. This presentation will describe various strategies for smart AST, from test methods, troubleshooting and reporting. 9:00 Optimizing Patient Care with Diagnostic Stewardship for Point- of-Care Testing Erin McElvania, PhD, D(ABMM), Director of Clinical Microbiology, NorthShore University HealthSystem Point-of-care testing provides rapid results which can be immediately used for clinical decision making. It also can result in overuse, runaway costs, and confusion when results differ from conventional testing.  Diagnostic stewardship is essential for management of point-of-care testing. This presentation will highlight the benefits, limitations, and how we can best steward point-of-care testing for maximum patient impact. 9:30 Host Response Strategies for Infectious Disease Ephraim Tsalik, MD, MHS, PhD, Associate Professor, Medicine, Center for Applied Genomics Precision Medicine, Duke University The management of infectious diseases requires a holistic diagnostic strategy. In conjunction with advances in pathogen detection, host response-based tests provide a comprehensive understanding of a patient’s clinical state. A combination of systems biology, machine learning, and integrated sample-to- answer testing platforms has enabled the development of a growing number of host response tests for infectious disease. Diagnostic stewardship will be necessary to maximize these opportunities. 10:00 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing 10:45 Things We Do, But Shouldn’t: Top 5 List of Useless Microbiology Practices and How We Can Do Better Christopher Doern, PhD, D(ABMM), Associate Director, Microbiology, Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, Medical College of Virginia Campus; Co-Chair, ASM’s Clinical Micro Open In the diagnosis of infectious diseases, we endeavor to deploy evidence-based practices driven by the best available science. There are often gray areas or gaps in the literature, which can lead to “controversy” and a diversity of practices. In this lecture we will discuss five suboptimal practices in clinical microbiology, and we can do better, both within the laboratory and through laboratory stewardship programs. 11:15 Talk Title to be Announced Speaker to be Announced 11:30 Talk Title to be Announced Speaker to be Announced 11:45 Luncheon Presentation to be Announced Speaker to be Announced TABLE OF CONTENTS #NGDx22 13 | NextGenerationDx.com

Cardone, PhD, Co-Founder, President CEO, Eutropics Pharmaceuticals Most cancer treatments work though activation of the cell suicide program of apoptosis. Cells that more readily die in response to various stimuli are referred to as “primed”. Our next generation predictive diagnostic tests directly measure priming in a way that overcomes liabilities of the indirect measurements. The new method (PRIMABTM) relies on proprietary complex specific antibodies and is seen as simpler, more robust, and more amenable to clinical use. 9:30 A Blood-miRNA-Based Complementary Diagnostic Predicts Immunotherapy Efficacy in Advanced Stage Lung Cancer with High PD-L1 Expression Bruno Steinkraus, PhD, CSO, Hummingbird Diagnostics GmbH We describe the discovery, validation, and mechanistic insight into a blood- based 5-microRNA risk (miRisk) score that predicts survival of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving immunomonotherapy of either pembrolizumab or nivolumab and performs better than the gold-standard of PD-L1 (Rajakumar et al., 2022, npj Precision Oncology.

Sanford Kobayashi, MD, Assistant Professor, Rady Children’s Hospital, San Diego Diagnostic and clinical utility of rWGS for critically ill children in the pediatric ICU was examined. Retrospective cost data for children who received rWGS found that the net cost was $54,554, representing $4,509 per QALY gained. This quantitative, retrospective examination of healthcare utilization associated with rWGS-informed medicine interventions revealed approximately one-third of a QALY gained per patient tested at a cost per QALY approximately one-tenth of that typically sought. 3:50 Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing 4:30 KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: Do Medicare Legacy Policies Threaten Progress in Precision Medicine? Bruce Quinn, MD, PhD, Principal, Bruce Quinn Associates, LLC In 2013, as modern precision medicine was taking off, CMS began bundling lab tests in the hospital outpatient setting, except genetic tests. In 2022, this policy becomes increasingly impractical as advances in areas like proteomics and AI move into pathology applications. Pathology and proteomic testing are usually “bundled” into the cost of the tissue biopsy or office visit. With separate payment for genomics, CMS potentially discourages other fields of innovation. 5:00 Panel Discussion: The Evolution of Medical Policy and Coverage Requirements in Genomic Testing Moderator: Mark Hiatt, MD, MBA, MS, Vice President, Guardant Health As technology surges, and a virus changes the world, what has changed, and what has remained the same, with respect to what it takes for a diagnostic technology to be endorsed in medical policy and paid for by a health plan?

We are developing a hybrid microelectronic/ microfluidic chip to ‘unlock’ droplet-based assays for clinical use. 9:00 Mechano-Node Pore Sensing for Disease Monitoring Lydia Sohn, PhD, Chancellor’s Professor, Mechanical Engineering, University of California, Berkeley All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is an essential therapy in treating acute pro- myelocytic leukemia (APL); however, nearly 20% of APL patients are resistant to ATRA. Currently, there are no biomarkers for ATRA resistance. Using mechano- node-pore sensing (mechano-NPS), an electronic method to mechanically phenotype cells, we have shown that ATRA-resistive APL cells are more stiff than ATRA-responsive cells. I will discuss how mechano-NPS could thus potentially be used to monitor APL resistance. 9:30 Using Neuronal-Enriched Extracellular Vesicles as Biomarkers for Neurocognitive Decline Lynn Pulliam, PhD, Professor, Departments of Laboratory Medicine and Medicine, University of California, San Francisco Our lab is interested in isolating neuronal-enriched extracellular vesicles (nEV) from plasma to determine the state of the neuron in real time. We have characterized nEVs using several techniques and interrogated the cargo from people with Alzheimer’s disease, HIV and COVID with the aim of determining plasma biomarkers for neurocognitive decline. 10:00 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing 10:45 Nanoplasmonic Sensing Technologies for Circulating Tumor- Derived Extracellular Vesicle Analysis Hyungsoon Im, PhD, Assistant Professor, Center for Systems Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained much interest as circulating biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring. We have developed various nanoplasmonic sensing (nPLEX) technologies for the sensitive and robust detection of tumor-derived EVs directly from clinical samples. In this presentation, I will discuss the nPLEX sensing technologies and their applications for cancer diagnosis, and their future directions for clinical translation.

In an independent validation, cohort is achieved and AUC of 0.97 with a sensitivity of 93% for specificity of 100%, using 2 mls of serum. It has the potential to quantitatively monitor tumour burden in this aggressive subtype of breast cancer. 2:05 Assessing Precision Medicine and Immuno-Oncology Biomarkers by Circulating Tumor Cell Liquid Biopsy Andi Cani, PhD, Postdoc, Daniel F. Hayes Group, Division of Hematology and Oncology, Rogel Cancer Center; Department of Internal Medicine, Michigan Medicine, University of Michigan Medical School The success of precision and immuno-oncology rests on approved genomic biomarkers such as mutations, copy number alterations, tumor mutation burden, and microsatellite instability. While their assessment in ctDNA has been developed, their measurement can be limited by low ctDNA tumor fraction. CTC single-cell NGS is rather unexplored for complementing tissue and ctDNA biomarker detection. We show feasibility and validity of this approach which suggests further exploration of its clinical utility. 2:35 Clinical Validation of a Targeted Methylation-Based Multi- Cancer Early Detection Test Using an Independent Validation Set Minetta C.

Bringing Liquid Biopsy into Early Cancer Detection Lynn Sorbara, PhD, Program Director, Cancer Biomarkers Research Group, National Cancer Institute (NCI), NIH •  What are the greatest impediments to bringing liquid biopsy technologies into the early cancer detection space? •  How can we overcome the low levels of target analytes, low limit of detection, etc.? •  What can be done to improve specificity, sensitivity, and precision? •  Is artificial intelligence/machine learning the next step to validation? •  Is liquid biopsy cost-effective in the early cancer space?​ TAILORING IMMUNO-ONCOLOGY WITH LIQUID BIOPSY 8:25 Chairperson’s Remarks Catherine Alix-Panabières, PhD, Associate Professor and Director, Laboratory of Rare Human Circulating Cells (LCCRH), University Medical Center of Montpellier, France 8:30 KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: Liquid Biopsy Approaches to Predict Response or Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Inhibition Therapy in Patients with Solid Tumors Klaus Pantel, PhD, Professor, Medicine Director Chairman, Institute of Tumor Biology, University Hospital Hamburg, Eppendorf Clinical applications of liquid biopsy analyses include early cancer detection, improved cancer staging, early detection of relapse, real- time monitoring of therapeutic efficacy and detection of therapeutic targets and resistance mechanisms. In particular, the detection and characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA) have received great attention as “liquid biopsy” biomarkers in clinical trials on immune checkpoint inhibition therapy to predict response or resistance. 9:00 Metastasis-Initiator Circulating Tumor Cells: One of the Keys to Understand the Biology of the Metastatic Cascade Catherine Alix-Panabières, PhD, Associate Professor and Director, Laboratory of Rare Human Circulating Cells (LCCRH), University Medical Center of Montpellier, France The development of blood-based, tumor specific biomarkers called real-time liquid biopsy such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have made significant advances over the last years in cancer research. In my lecture, I will present the hallmarks of the first and still only nine permanent colon CTC lines from peripheral blood samples of a patient with metastatic colon cancer collected at different time points during treatment and cancer progression. 9:30 Circulating Exosomes as a Liquid Biopsy Approach for Precision Cancer Therapy Sam Hanash, MD, PhD, Director, Red Charline McCombs Institute; Evelyn Sol Rubenstein Distinguished Chair, Cancer Prevention; Professor, Clinical Cancer Prevention-Research, Translational Molecular Pathology, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center The field of liquid biopsy for cancer screening has expanded considerably in the recent past, with applications ranging from single cancer screening to multi- cancer screening. The current state of the field and the different performance requirements for single cancer vs. multi-cancer will be presented using lung cancer screening as a single cancer focus and as part of a multi-cancer screen as a case in point. 10:00 Sponsored Presentation (Opportunity Available) 10:30 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing 11:00 Registration Open for Part B Tracks 11:15 Transition to Plenary Keynote TABLE OF CONTENTS #NGDx22 23 | NextGenerationDx.com

Milner, Jr., MD, MSc, MBA, FASCP Multi-cancer early detection has implications that vary by geography and tool performance. In high-income countries, MCED could lead to disruptive innovation, creative destruction, and massive downstaging for cancer patients. In low-income countries, MCED could also lead to changes with enormous impact on morbidity and mortality, but less disruption. Why there is such a difference, the barriers that exist for both, and an ethical way forward will be discussed. 3:20 Measuring the Efficacy and Effectiveness of Multi-Cancer Early Detection Tests: Are We Up for the Challenge? Robert Smith, PhD, Senior Vice President, Cancer Screening, American Cancer Society, Inc. As advances in new cancer screening accelerates, early cancer detection may become more feasible and accessible, and include a much broader group of cancers. These technologies must be evaluated in the population to ensure their efficacy and favorable balance of benefits to harms. To avoid stifling innovation we must embrace the challenge to develop new approaches to evaluation, including trustworthy new endpoints. 3:50 Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing 4:30 CO-PRESENTATION: RNA: The Next-Generation of Stool- Based CRC Screening Vince Wong, JD, MBA, Chief Commercial Officer, Geneoscopy, Inc. Haytham Gareer, MD, PhD, MBA, CMO, Medical and Scientific Affairs, Geneoscopy, Inc. Geneoscopy developed a method to reliably extract and evaluate stool-derived eukaryotic RNA (seRNA) biomarkers, overcoming challenges in extensive RNA degradation and high bacterial transcript burden. Using this technology, Geneoscopy developed a multi-factor RNA stool test to detect colorectal neoplasia in average-risk individuals, demonstrating ~40% improved detection over existing non-invasive screening tests. Preliminary data has been shown the platform’s feasibility for improved monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment of other GI diseases. TABLE OF CONTENTS #NGDx22 25 | NextGenerationDx.com

Milner, Jr., MD, MSc, MBA, FASCP 8:30 Metabolic Profiling by NMR Gives Powerful Insight for Cancer Diagnosis James Larkin, PhD, Department of Oncology, University of Oxford (UK), and Founder CEO, Oxomics The diagnosis of cancer in patients with nonspecific symptoms is a major clinical challenge leading to poorer prognoses as patients are diagnosed late. Here we show that biofluid metabolomics using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can identify cancer in a cohort of 300 at-risk patients with high sensitivity and specificity, before considering the larger possibilities for biofluid metabolomics in the diagnosis and management of cancer. 9:00 Metabolism as an Information Layer for Multi-Cancer Early Detection: The Role of GAGomes Francesco Gatto, PhD, CSO and Co-Founder, Elypta AB Liquid biopsies based on genomic biomarkers could make multi-cancer early detection (MCED) realistic, but limitations include ~10% stage I sensitivity; the inability to detect specific types like gliomas; complex assays; and potential over-diagnosis. The potential of metabolism for MCED will be illustrated. Our studies indicate that plasma and urine glycosaminoglycan profiles (GAGomes) doubled stage I sensitivity and preferentially detected poor prognosis any-type cancer with a simple IVD-ready assay. 9:30 Microbiome Driven Liquid Biopsy to Enhance Early-Stage Cancer Detection Sandrine Miller-Montgomery, PharmD, PhD, President and CEO, Micronoma, Inc. Microbiome entered in 2022 the Hallmarks of Cancer. Yet, mostly gut microbiome is considered at this stage. In our presentation, we will discuss the importance of newly discovered tissue and circulating microbiomes in early cancer detection as well as MRD or relapse monitoring. We will also cover the potential to greatly improve treatment or drug clinical trials with this new set of microbial biomarkers easily accessible in blood. 10:00 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing 10:45 Early Cancer Detection Using Exomes as the Source for Cancer Biomarkers Antonio Chiesi, PhD, Founder CEO, Exosomics Siena SpA 11:15 Sponsored Presentation (Opportunity Available) 11:45 Luncheon Presentation (Sponsorship Opportunity Available) or Enjoy Lunch on Your Own 12:45 pm Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall – Last Chance for Poster Viewing EARLY DETECTION OF MULTIPLE CANCERS USING DNA 1:30 Chairperson’s Remarks Sudhir Srivastava, PhD, Chief, Cancer Biomarkers Research Group, NIH NCI 1:35 cfDNA Fragmentation Assays for the Early Detection of Cancer Nicholas C. Dracopoli, PhD, CSO, Delfi Diagnostics Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) consists of small nucleic acid fragments entering the bloodstream during apoptosis or necrosis. cfDNA fragmentation patterns detected by low-coverage whole-genome sequencing can be used to detect the presence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in a background of cfDNA mostly derived from hematologic cells. This presentation will describe the development of a blood-based, whole-genome, next-generation sequencing (NGS) test to detect early stages of cancer. 2:05 Talk Title to be Announced Stephen Hahn, MD, CEO, Harbinger Health 2:35 Addressing the Cancer Epidemic with Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Megan P. Hall, PhD, Vice President Medical Affairs, GRAIL LLC A methylation-based MCED detects a common cancer signal across many cancer types, generates a low false positive rate, and predicts the cancer origin to direct downstream diagnostics. The performance of this MCED, the underlying biology of the signal that results in a balance of detecting more aggressive cancers while minimizing the risk of overdiagnosis, and the potential impact of implementing MCEDs in conjunction with standard-of-care cancer screening will be discussed. 3:05 Talk Title to be Announced Craig Eagle, MD, CMO, Guardant Health 3:35 Talk Title to be Announced Hatim Allawi, MD, Senior Vice President, Research Technology Development, Exact Sciences Corp. 4:05 Close of Summit TABLE OF CONTENTS #NGDx22 26 | NextGenerationDx.com
