The test kit involves a specimen preparation to classify the total RNA from NSCLC FFPE samples then reverse transcription of the target RNA to generate complementary DNA (cDNA).

"We expect NSCLC patients with ROS1 translocations to benefit significantly from the OxOnc Study results."

It uses real-time PCR technology to test the tumour messenger RNA from human tumour tissue or tumour cells and deliver the results in 2.5 hours.

Around 127 ROS1-positive patients in China, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea were enrolled in the trial, which met its primary objective of showing a high overall response rate for crizotinib.
