ChemoSNiP

A cancer therapy personalized for you

When a drug is administered to the body, the body responds to the drug itself. Not every patient responds to chemotherapy identically. ChemoSNiP, the blood test for chemotherapy, looks at how our body responds to a chemotherapeutic agent. This tells us whether our body removes the agent rapidly, thereby reducing its effectiveness or detoxing poorly; hence higher chances of toxicity. It allows a clinician to analyze how a patient’s body reacts to the specific drug. 

How does ChemoSNiP work?

ChemoSNiP is an innovative blood test done during chemotherapy that uses an advanced scientific technique called pharmacogenomics to analyze how a patient’s body will respond to a specific drug.

The human body commonly has variants that make us different from one another. These variants are called SNPs or single nucleotide polymorphisms. SNPs can make us respond differently to chemicals/ drugs when administered to the body.

These are also responsible for the metabolism /detoxification of cytostatic or target drugs used in cancer therapy.

ChemoSNiP would examine these potential SNPs which affect how our body manages a drug hence would provide an exclusion criterion for chemotherapy that either may not work well or end up being excessively toxic to the body. The clinician can now make superior personalized decisions on what medication would work best and even modify dosages to prevent excessive toxicity.

What details does the test provide?

SNPs' influence

SNPs are variations in DNA sequence affecting the response to treatments, drugs, chemicals, etc. ChemoSNiP examines these variations to predict how your body will respond to various treatments.

Understanding how the body metabolizes drugs and how inherited gene variations influence drug response, the test provides insights into whether you’re likely to have a positive, negative, or no response to a specific drug.

When combined with data from chemosensitivity testing, ChemoSNiP helps narrow down treatment options to identify the most effective and least toxic therapeutic agent for each patient.   

How does it help?

The test result provides the doctors with valuable insight into identifying the drug that is most effective for treating cancer.

ChemoSNiP provides information to the treating oncologist whereby particular chemotherapy would be highly toxic (the patient is unable to detox and clear the chemotherapy) or ineffective (as this person would clear off the chemotherapy rapidly compared to the normal population) to a particular patient.

Through personalized analysis, the test enables us to determine the treatment most suitable for a patient.

Why choose ChemoSNiP?

With cutting-edge thermocyclers used, our test ChemoSNiP has the effectiveness to locate and analyze the SNPs.

The study of SNPs would allow for the selection of chemotherapeutic treatments that would benefit the patient with the least risk of adverse side effects.

The test provides insights and personalized analysis of drugs and treatments for each patient.

Why choose Oncotrail?

Oncotrail has undergone rigorous evaluation to ensure high sensitivity and specificity, making it an invaluable tool for diagnostic purposes.

Through high-precision techniques, the test is used to monitor the effectiveness of a particular cancer treatment. This would objectively provide information on how well the treatment is going.

The non-invasive tracking of the cancer status would notify a treating physician whether to adjust current management or stay the course. This would be important to know in almost real-time rather than to find out much later that a treatment doesn't apply to a particular person.
