8 Oncotype DX Recurrence Score Recurrence Score based on quantitative RT- PCR analysis of 21 genes Established clinical utility to aid in the selection of ER+ patients for treatment with adjuvant chemotherapy Distant recurrence (Paik et al, NEJM 2004) Breast cancer survival (Habel et al, Breast Cancer Res 2006) Chemotherapy benefit (Paik et al, JCO 2006, Albain et al, SABCS 2007) ASCO, NCCN, NICE Guidelines Standard of care Over 375,000 tests since 2004; >70 countries Reimbursed by Medicare and major payers in US and for many/all patients in Canada, Ireland, UK, Greece, Germany, Israel

9 Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association Technology Assessment Criteria* 1. The technology must have final approval from the appropriate governmental regulatory bodies. The indications for which the technology is approved need not be the same as those which Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association's Technology Evaluation Center is evaluating. 2. The scientific evidence must permit conclusions concerning the effect of the technology on health outcomes. The evidence should consist of well-designed and well-conducted investigations published in peer-reviewed journals. The quality of the body of studies and the consistency of the results are considered in evaluating the evidence. The evidence should demonstrate that the technology can measure or alter the physiological changes related to a disease, injury, illness, or condition. In addition, there should be evidence or a convincing argument based on established medical facts that such measurement or alteration affects health outcomes. Opinions and evaluations by national medical associations, consensus panels, or other technology evaluation bodies are evaluated according to the scientific quality of the supporting evidence and rationale. 3. The technology must improve the net health outcome. The technology's beneficial effects on health outcomes should outweigh any harmful effects on health outcomes. 4. The technology must be as beneficial as any established alternatives. The technology should improve the net health outcome as much as, or more than, established alternatives. 5. The improvement must be attainable outside the investigational settings. When used under the usual conditions of medical practice, the technology should be reasonably expected to satisfy TEC criteria #3 and #4. * 9

10 Diagnostic Development Strategy Must Address Analytical Performance, Clinical Validity, and Clinical Utility Diagnostic Tests Must Be Accurate and Clinically Meaningful Analytical performance - How reliably and reproducibly the test quantifies the analyte(s) of interest Clinical validity - How well the test relates to the clinical outcome of interest Clinical utility - Whether the results of the test provide information that can contribute to and improve upon current outcomes Cannot be considered independently Analytic performance must be evaluated in context of the clinical use Clinical validity must be assessed in context of analytic performance

21 Oncotype DX Changed Treatment Decisions in Over One- Third of Patients Women Treatment Diagnosed Plan After Prior with Oncotype to Breast Cancer DX DX Chemotherapy Over a 37% Change recommended in Treatment for 62% Decisions of patients Chemotherapy No Chemotherapy 21 * Based on meta-analysis of seven studies with 912 patients

22 Cost Effectiveness of Oncotype DX* SURVIVAL. Oncotype DX Recurrence Score guided therapy is associated with a gain in individual life expectancy of 2.2 years compared with tamoxifen alone, whereas it is associated with similar life expectancy to that seen with the chemotherapy and tamoxifen strategy COSTS. Oncotype DX Recurrence Score guided therapy is estimated to provide a net cost savings of $2256 compared with chemotherapy and tamoxifen with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $1944 per life year saved compared with tamoxifen alone *Lyman et al, Cancer. 2007;109:

27 Policies and Incentives for Integration of Genomics and Next Generation Sequencing... Delivering what patients, physicians, and payors need Tests must be Fit for Purpose ; multiple studies required to provide the evidence (actionable, beyond traditional measures) Technical innovation brought to standardized implementation Reimbursement based on value, providing the resources to do it right Continuing research as treatment evolves Leadership, collaborations, teamwork
