Labcorp Partners with Alliance for Clinical Trials on Colorectal Cancer Study
- Collaboration Launch: Labcorp Holdings Inc. has partnered with the Alliance for Clinical Trials to initiate a national multicenter clinical trial for newly diagnosed colorectal cancer patients, aiming to enhance participation in genetic testing, particularly for the approximately 10% of cases caused by inherited variants.
- Testing Method Evaluation: The trial will assess whether proactive outreach by healthcare providers can improve first-degree relatives' participation in cascade genetic testing, thereby enhancing communication of genetic risk among families and increasing early diagnosis potential.
- Impact of Multigene Testing: The study will also evaluate the impact of multigene panel testing on patients newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer, aiming to support more effective treatment options through scientific data, ultimately improving patient survival rates and quality of life.
- National Cancer Institute Support: Sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, the trial will leverage Labcorp's national scale and scientific expertise to ensure high-quality genetic testing services at participating sites, further advancing cancer research.

Labcorp Partners with Alliance for Clinical Trials to Enhance Genetic Testing in Colorectal Cancer
- Trial Launch: Labcorp collaborates with the Alliance for Clinical Trials to initiate a national multicenter clinical trial aimed at increasing genetic testing participation among family members of colorectal cancer patients, which is expected to significantly enhance hereditary risk identification.
- Importance of Testing: Approximately 10% of colorectal cancer cases are linked to inherited variants, yet less than one-third of at-risk relatives undergo recommended genetic testing; this trial will assess the impact of proactive outreach by healthcare providers on testing participation.
- Multigene Testing Evaluation: The trial will also evaluate the impact of multigene panel testing on the care of newly diagnosed colorectal cancer patients, aiming to drive the application of genetic testing in cancer management through scientific evidence.
- Support from NCI: Sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, the trial encompasses patients and their relatives nationwide, reflecting Labcorp's ongoing commitment to advancing genetics-based approaches in cancer care.

Labcorp Launches New DPYD Genotyping Test for Cancer Patients
- Personalized Cancer Treatment: Labcorp has launched an expanded DPYD genotyping test that identifies cancer patients with DPYD variants, enabling the detection of those at risk for severe side effects before treatment, thus supporting safer, personalized care.
- Reducing Chemotherapy Risks: Approximately 9% of patients carry DPYD variants that can impair the metabolism of chemotherapy drugs like 5-FU, increasing the risk of severe toxicity, with an estimated 1,300 deaths annually in the U.S. due to 5-FU toxicity, highlighting the test's significance.
- FDA Warning Update: The FDA has updated the product labeling for 5-FU and capecitabine to include warnings about the risk of severe adverse reactions or death in patients with complete DPD deficiency, emphasizing the importance of DPYD testing prior to treatment to mitigate patient risks.
- Strengthening Leadership in Pharmacogenomics: Labcorp has offered DPYD testing since 2006 and provides pharmacogenomic testing across various specialties, helping healthcare providers tailor therapies using genetic information to reduce preventable harm, further solidifying its leadership in personalized medicine.
