Actionability
Diagnostic
A single table in the biomarker details provides a list of all the diagnostic assertions from all included sources that have content about the biomarker (i.e., My Knowledge Base, OncoKB, CKB, CIViC).
If you have existing knowledge to upload to the system, refer to Upload Assertions.
You can filter by other diseases or by summary. When filtering by summary for guideline evidence, specify the website (e.g., ESMO.org or NCCN.org). Filter changes are saved and applied across variants within a case and can be reset if needed.
Therapeutic, Prognostic
A single table in the biomarker details provides a list of all the therapeutic and prognostic assertions from all included sources that have content about the biomarker (i.e., My Knowledge Base, OncoKB, CKB, CIViC).
If you have existing knowledge to upload to the system, refer to Upload Assertions.
By default, the assertions are filtered by the case and ancestor diseases. Ancestor diseases are determined using SNOMEDCT. These diseases can be viewed at the SNOMED CT Browser website, with the following exceptions:
Descendents of neoplastic disease do not include ancestors beyond neoplastic disease.
Non-small cell lung cancer has been added as an ancestor of adenocarcinoma of lung.
You can filter by other diseases, by summary, or by approval. When filtering by summary for guideline evidence, specify the website (e.g., ESMO.org or NCCN.org). Filter changes are saved and applied across variants within a case and can be reset if needed.
Actionability Legend
Field Name
Description
Directional Arrows
Opens to view the assertion summary.
Update Date
The date that the assertion was updated.
Source
Knowledge base origin of the assertion.
Biomarker
Indicates whether an assertion is the nucleotide, annotation overlap, partial fusion, amino acid, codon, exon, or gene level. This column is only available for variants.
Status
Indicates the TMB, MSI, or GIS status for the assertion. This column is available for TMB, MSI, and GIS.
HRD
Indicates whether an assertion is associated with HRD positive or negative. This column is available for GIS and variants when the selected transcript is for BRCA1/2.
Classification
This column displays the classification (e.g., Tier 1A), as indicated by the knowledge base.
Type
Therapeutic, Diagnostic, or Prognostic as indicated by the knowledge base.
Direction
• For therapeutic; responsive, nonresponsive, etc., as indicated by the knowledge base. • For prognostic; favorable, unfavorable, etc., as indicated by the knowledge base.
Therapy
Therapy for the assertion.
Disease
Disease for the assertion.
Approval
Authorities that have approved the therapy for the biomarker and disease. • CKB provides FDA, EMA, ANVISA, PDMA, and TGA approvals. • OncoKB level 1 assertions are annotated with FDA.
Actions
This column contains the following available actions: • Add to report* • Archive, if the assertion is in My Knowledge Base • Copy to New Assertion, if the assertion is not in My Knowledge Base • View past cases
*Classification Mapping
When reporting an assertion that is not from My Knowledge Base (e.g., OncoKB), classifications will be reported using your Actionability Classifications. If you are using AMP/ASCO/CAP, classifications will be adjusted as follows:
Tier 1A
Level 1 Level R1 Level Px1 Level Dx1 Level 2 Level Px2 Level Dx2
Tier 1A
Level A
Tier 1B
Level 3A Level Px3 Level Dx3
Tier 1B
Level B
Tier 2C
Level 3B
Tier 2C
Therapeutic Level C
Tier 2D
Level 4 Level R2
Tier 2D
Non-therapeutic Level C Level D Level E
