Methods
The detection and molecular characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with breast cancer affords the ability to profile and monitor patients in real time for progression, risk stratification, recurrence, identification of potentially actionable therapeutic targets, and monitoring of treatment efficacy and emergence of resistance mechanisms. To harness the promise of CTC analysis a highly sensitive, robust, reproducible and clinically validated technology is required. Information acquired from a single tissue biopsy has temporal and spatial limitations; additionally, in patients with progressive/metastatic disease, a single biopsy may not be informative or in some instances difficult to perform and might fail to reflect inherent tumoral heterogeneity. CTCs on the other hand can provide a contemporaneous landscape of all cancerous lesions (primary and metastases) as well as the opportunity to track the evolving tumor genetic mechanisms.
Conclusions• The Target Selector™ CTC detection assay has demonstrated highly
specific and sensitive CTC capture both for epithelial and non-epithelial sub-sets.
• Hence the ability to capture and characterize a broader range of CTCs unlike other CTC technologies that identify only epithelial CTCs or utilize sized based selection would be beneficial for subsequent biomarker analysis and clinical outcomes assessment.
Summary• 92% concordance for Clinical Accuracy and 100% for Analytical Specificity
was obtained.• Based on the linearity/reportable range data above, one (1) CTC per 8.0
mL can be detected by the Target Selector™ CTC platform resulting in a limit of detection of one (1) CTC in a channel.

Peripheral blood from 2,757 patients across all stages of breast cancer and treatment time points (pre-treatment, post-treatment, on treatment) were collected in CEE-Sure™ blood collection tubes and analyzed. CTC capture, staining, and FISH were performed in the microchannel as previously described1-2. Briefly, the CEE-Sure™ Microchannels were stained with pan-cytokeratin cocktail, CD45, pan-CTC stain, and DAPI.
