By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy (collectively the "Agreement") on behalf of your medical practice, hospital, or other organization.

Tests

  • To order tests, you must follow the test ordering instructions written on the Test Requisition Form (TRF), complete all details set out in the TRF and attach all required documents. You need to instruct the patient to sign page 2 of the TRF. If the patient is not present at the time of ordering, please instruct the patient to sign the TRF at the time of blood draw. When the test is completed, OncoHost will send you an email (to the email address you provide) informing you that the PROphet® report is available and send the report via e-fax.

  • PROphet® is a liquid biopsy test for cancer patients that combines Al and plasma proteomic profiling to assign a PROphet® Score, a measure of the predicted clinical benefit from anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment. A PROphet® Score between 5 and 10 is classified as POSITIVE, and a PROphet® Score between 0 and 5 is classified as NEGATIVE. The PROphet® test POSITIVE or NEGATIVE classification, together with PD-L1 levels (not provided by OH), is correlated to the patient's overall survival (OS) and clinical evidence-based treatment considerations are listed accordingly.

  • The test requires a blood sample withdrawn from the patient prior to commencement of therapy. Plasma is isolated from the blood sample and then profiled via the SomaScan® assay (developed by SomaLogic Inc.) at OncoHost's CLIA- certified laboratory. The assay is based on Slow-Off-Rate Modified Aptamers (SOMAmers) – chemically-modified single- stranded oligonucleotides that fold into molecular structures capable of binding to proteins with high affinity and specificity. The assay measures approximately 7,000 proteins in a single plasma sample. The proteomic profile is then analyzed by OncoHost's proprietary PROphet® algorithm to provide clinically relevant information that may be used to aid in patient management and treatment decisions.

  • PROphet® uses an internal dataset with data gathered from a variety of sources and, as such, the analyses may be subject to certain biases that restrict the generalizability or applicability to individual patients. The data that comprises the PROphet® dataset may not be representative of patient populations as a whole, nor relevant to this specific patient. Testing is performed at OncoHost's CLIA-certified lab located in the USA (CLIA ID no. 34D2250951). The test was developed, and its performance characteristics were determined by OH. The test has not been cleared or approved by the FDA.

  • The PROphetNSCLC test is intended for use as a treatment decision tool in the management of newly diagnosed stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients being considered for treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors as a single agent or in combination with chemotherapy in the first-line setting. The test is intended for patients aged 18 and above, with ECOG performance status of 0-2, normal hematologic, renal, and liver functions. The test is not intended for patients with any concurrent and/or other active malignancies that have required systemic treatment within two years of the first dose of therapy.

  • PROphet® test results should be evaluated in combination with the patient's medical history, clinical features, pathology reports, and other tests. Treatment management decisions are entirely at the discretion of the treating physician. PROphet® test results and information contained within this report are current as of the date provided and will not be updated by OH, even if subsequent changes would have led to additional or conflicting results. The patient's physician is responsible for considering all available information and options before making patient-specific management or treatment decisions. OH is not liable for medical judgment with regard to diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment.

  • By accepting receipt of the test results or any content derived from it, the ordering physician, institution of ordering physician, or any third parties to whom the results are transferred, agree that the results may only be used for the clinical management of the patient identified in the results by the physician. Any other use of the results including, without limitation, correlative studies, diagnostic development, derivative works, or other analyses, is expressly prohibited.

You may not, and you will not or enable others to: (a) use the Services for any purposes or in any manner except as consistent with these Terms, the Website, and applicable law; (b) modify, reverse engineer, or copy the Services; (c) alter any test results; (d) share any test results with any third parties except as expressly permitted by the patient via a valid written consent conforming to applicable law; (e) resell, redistribute, license, or in any way provide the Services to third parties; (f) remove any copyright, patent, trademark, proprietary rights, disclaimer or warning notice included on or embedded in any part of the Services; (g) forge headers or other elements of network transmissions to disguise the origin of any material transmitted through the Services to OH or to any third party; (h) override or attempt to override any security measure or component implemented in the Services; (i) create a user account purporting to describe a fictional person or character, any individual other than yourself, or any individual or entity other than one whom you have been authorized to represent; or (j) use any automated software or scripts to access or use the Services.

  • You may, from time to time, provide suggestions, comments, or other feedback to OH regarding OH's current or future products and services, including the Services (collectively, "Feedback").
