Nicholas Hornstein: Guardant360 ctDNA Assays In Advanced Colorectal Cancer

Nicholas Hornstein, Assistant Professor at Northwell Health, shared a post on X:

“New paper out!

We reanalyzed raw sequencing data from 18,558 standard-of-care Guardant360 ctDNA assays in advanced colorectal cancer using a partner-agnostic fusion caller.

  • Fusions in 1.3% of patients  
  • 93% were subclonal — enriched after EGFR therapy
  •  Clonal fusions linked to MSI-H tumors  
  • Subclonal fusions may signal impending acquired resistance to targeted therapies like EGFR inhibitors — offering a window for earlier intervention.

Thanks to Andrew Pellatt for being a great co-fellow and letting me participate in this work along some of the defining leaders in CRC like Van Morris, Scott Kopetz, Ryan Huey!”
