Foundation Medicine, Inc. (NASDAQ:FMI) today announced that new clinical data on the application of FoundationOne® will be presented during two oral presentations and one poster session at the 2015 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium taking place January 15-17, 2015, at the Moscone West Building in San Francisco.

“We look forward to sharing these data at the Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, and believe these findings provide further evidence for the clinical utility of FoundationOne, our flagship test for patients with solid tumors,” said Vincent Miller, M.D., chief medical officer, Foundation Medicine. “Collectively, these data from esophageal and biliary tract cancers show that our comprehensive genomic profiling capabilities continue to refine our understanding of disease biology and uncover treatment opportunities that might not have been otherwise considered for patients across all sub-types of cancer.”

About FoundationOne®

FoundationOne, the company's first clinical product, is a fully informative genomic profile for solid tumors used by oncologists to identify the molecular alterations in a patient's tumor and match those alterations with relevant targeted therapies and clinical trials. Using next-generation sequencing in routine cancer specimens, FoundationOne interrogates all genes somatically altered in human cancers that are validated targets for therapy or unambiguous drivers of oncogenesis based on current knowledge. It reveals all classes of genomic alterations, including base substitutions, insertions, deletions, copy number alterations and select rearrangements. FoundationOne fits easily into the clinical workflow of the ordering physician, and test results are provided in an easy-to-interpret report supported by a comprehensive review of published literature. FoundationOne is a laboratory-developed test performed at Foundation Medicine's CLIA-certified lab. The test is accredited by CAP, is approved by the New York State Department of Health and has received a CE Mark. Please visit www.FoundationOne.com for more information.
