MammaTyper®

MammaTyper® precisely quantifies expression of HER2, ER, PR and Ki-67 mRNA

MammaTyper® is a molecular diagnostic test for quantitative determination of the four key biomarkers used in the subtyping of breast cancer.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and the marker of proliferation Ki-67 are key biomarkers in the evaluation of breast cancer tumours.

The combination of biomarker results allows the assessment of the different St. Gallen Breast Cancer subtypes which are key parameters for treatment decisions.

Definition of Breast Cancer Surrogate Subtypes
(St Gallen 2013)

Breast Cancer Subtypes ER PR HER2 Ki-67
Luminal A-like Pos Pos Neg Neg
Luminal B-like (HER2 negative) Pos Pos/Neg* Neg Pos/Neg*
Luminal B-like (HER2 positive) Pos Pos/Neg Pos Pos/Neg
HER2 positive (non-luminal) Neg Neg Pos Pos/Neg
Triple negative (ductal) Neg Neg Neg Pos/Neg

*with the exception of the combination PR pos and Ki-67 neg = Luminal A-like

MammaTyper® is designed to meet the need for standardized, quantitative and fast molecular subtyping enabling confident treatment decisions.

Concordance

Concordance between MammaTyper® and IHC/CISH-based biomarker assessments: HER2 91.8%, ER 91.8%, PR 82.5%, KI67 75.0% 1

Overall Percentage Agreement (OPA) of assessment by MammaTyper® vs IHC/FISH (Ki67 digital image analysis): HER2 95.0%, ER 95.5%, PR 89,4%, Ki67 87,2% 4

Reproducibility Reproducibility of binary single-marker results (pos/neg), as well as the molecular subtype agreement, was almost perfect (kappa values: 0,90 – 1,00) in a 10 centre concordance study 2
Reclassification MammaTyper® may offer more precise assessment of endocrine responsiveness, improve Ki67 standardization and help resolve eqivocal HER2 IHC/FISH cases, leading to potential redistributions of the molecular subtypes 3
